The two "young men" who were racing up Mount Pleasant and killed a cab driver have been given a sentence of one year house arrest, one year curfew and no driving for four years. Life isn't worth much.

yeah I heard about that too, they are also banned from driving for 4 years, but really they should have been banned for life, I think the only reason why they got off so easy, was because the family and wife were still in India, and more or less lost all their income to get over here to give a victom impact statement.
not to mention they are both spoiled rich kids as I recall, that went to a private elete school for boys.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
Basically should have been man slaughter with some heavy prison time. IIRC they were both driving fairly expensive Mercedes...no doubt they got some good lawyers.....

IIRC they were both driving fairly expensive Mercedes...no doubt they got some good lawyers..... ^^ yup ... their lawyers argued that they weren't "racing" but were following each other driving fast - something of a very fine distinction when you consider the outcome. Having said that, I do understand that not everyone driving fast is racing - and the distinction is enough to warrant a different stance by the crown and the court. But in any event, whatever the charge they were eventually found guilty of - racing, dangerous driving, careless driving - the loss of life should automatically increase the sentence, IMO much in the same way that a crime committed with a gun should draw a stiffer sentence. And in this case the sentence is almost criminal itself. I hope these two young men understand the kind of bullet they dodged and do something positive with their lives - including dedicating themselves to making it right for the widow and her kids.

Not surprised in the least sadly...
If you have the resources to fight, you can minimize almost any criminal charge so that at the end of the day you get off with little more than a slap oin the wrist (As opposed to the kick in the @$$ that these two little snots need :angry: ) These 'tards should never been able to drive AGAIN Driving is a privledge and not a right and they've abused it in the most horrific way imaginable <_< NefCanuck

This is just another example of where having money means you can get away with almost anything.
I can't imagine how the family of the victim must feel after this verdict.

Little bit of show, little bit of go.

at least they were driving bling mercs so they won't get confused with the 'sport compact' scene and draw more police attention to r1cers
