People get less for 2nd degree murder. In some states they get less for rape. Count me out of the crowd that believes an awful decision that resulted in tragedy is the same as someone who intentionally ends someone else’s life or sexually assaults them.
Henry Ruggs intentionally got behind the wheel and engaged in a behavior that he knew could kill someone.
Or have you conveniently forgotten his three-finger bullshite after every touchdown? His supposed homage to his friend who was killed in a wreck...a gesture that now seems to have been more designed to call attention to himself. And that was a wreck that was just due to weather.
I'm not saying he should spend the rest of his life in prison. I do believe murderers should be executed. And I believe 10-20 years is appropriate for Ruggs. Besides...if he gets 20, we all know he'll be out on parole before that anyway.
He's what, 23 years old? He'll be out before he's 40-45 and still have a chance to have a life.

But he didn’t maliciously & deliberately kill someone. 2nd degree murder carries a 25 year term in Nevada. Sex trafficking runs 5-20.
I am absolutely not defending him or his actions, and I get that it’s an emotionally charged tragedy, but perspective is important. Locking him up for 26 years while the sex trafficker is out in 5 doesn’t really benefit society or provide closure for the tragedy.

Being intentionally reckless and actually intending to end another person's life are different states of mind with different levels of culpability.
You are terrible at arguing.
