>> An early guilty plea?

Nail, head, hit.

Offence at level one: The most serious offences encompassing driving that involved a deliberate decision to ignore (or a flagrant disregard for) the rules of the road and an apparent disregard for the great danger being caused to others

MAx sentence 14 years discounted for guilty plea.

And men, real or cocoa sippers, might regard it as inadequate given that (unlike lifers) early release might apply.

References a previous debate on sentencing where I (as per usual) pointed to some facts.

MD's response was an abusive reference as to whether I was a real man. Can't be arxed to search it out.

Actually I usually find that you include little comments and digs to try to make points nothing to do with any facts and often aimed at other grudges or agendas. I didn't understand the little dig you made this time, hence my question.

In the US a death caused in the course of a crime is murder. Seems fair.
