I got a couple of cases I want to run by you folks and see what you think these folks should have gotten as sentences. These happen to be cases on people that I know and our company bonded. But, I also knew them personally as well. Ill give you all the relevant details I can without going on too long.
#1. This guy, about 21 yrs old at the time, was coming home around 3am from a night of drinking and partying with other substances, in a town about 40 miles from where he lived. He was alone in his pickup and fell asleep, passed out, whatever, and ran off the side of the road, which had a wide, paved shoulder, and hit a car sitting there, with its lights on, and killed the girl driving the car. She had pulled over to use her cell phone, so she wouldnt have a wreck, so said her friend on the other end. The driver of the truck paniced and drove off, going home and to bed. He was caught and confessed the next day.
What do you think he got? What did he deserve?
#2. There was a bit of a feud going on between two familys of brothers. After several fist fights and death threats, two of the parties were driving through a really small town together, when two on the other side, ran them off the road, then followed them to a gas station in town and rammed the rear of their vehicle. One of the brothers in the ramming vehicle jumped out and began shooting at the two he just rammed with a hand gun, killing the passanger. The driver got out with a 7mm Mag and shot the original shooter in the head, killing him. the other brother in the aggressive vehicle never got out or picked up a weapon. Basically just set there.
Who should be in trouble? What sentence did whoever deserve? What do you think the sentence was and to whom?
See how this goes.
