However if you are speeding (ignorance is not an excuse btw) and you hit someone then yes, you made a decision (or were negligent, it's your responsibility to check your driving within the limit) and broke the law. This results in a death then YES you deserve to go to jail but should your punishment be the same as someone who went out intending to murder someone? No.

Which is what I said. I posted a few instances a few posts back what an accident would be and what imo isnt
Damien people have been arguing in this thread that he should not have been sent down. Derek has implied the same.
You see it on this forum. The guy the other xmas whose daughter died because he let her ride a quad home. People here argued for him whats that all about. People here argue that its perfectly ok for the Mccans to leave little kids alone again whats that all about? I find it crazy that people blatantly guilty of something are defended by people here like there could possibly be justification for any of these examples
