without taking risks the police would never catch criminals ,in this case the judge agreed that the officer took an unacceptible risk because someone had died as a result but also given the length of the sentance felt the officer had some justification hence the small jail term unlike the officer in the other case quoted in this thread who got 6 years (and got of lightly imo)
