I'm not denying that, and I'm not defending what he did, we got to this point in the discussion by talking about the sentance he may/may not receive.
I was trying to ilustrate that it is unlikely to be as severe a sentance as you would get for murder/manslaughter because there was no real intent - any more than there is any intent to kill in
any road accident.
The fact that he was an unsupervised learner will certainly count against him, but he will not receive a sentance anywhere near that of a convicted murderer.
Personally I would be suprised if he gets anything more than a couple of years, and that's
if he gets a custodial sentance at all.....
