"Black faced up to 90 days in jail as a result of the charges in the plea deal, as well as a fine.
Ultimately, Judge Corinne Magid sentenced Black to 12 months of supervised probation and 200 hours of community service. His license was suspended for a year, and he must pay a $150 fine."
The victim's family asked for six days of jail time, to mirror their "jail" time of waiting/worrying in the ICU.
That last paragraph made me so sad
In my country they would probably scrap the community service, too, because -to paraphrase judges in such cases- that poor driver already has to live with the knowledge that he killed someone, which is already such a harsh punishment...
It's insane what terminal car brain does to a society.
Suspending the license for a year is absurd. That's all a human life is worth? I lost my license for life because of a health problem. If I can figure it out, so can a fucking killer.
I lost my license for 2 month because they thought i smoked weed. I didn't, the pee and blood test proved it. But still
