I agree. People do less time for actual murders. This was an accident, albeit avoidable. I hate the witch hunt against impaired driving. It is reprehensible but MADD has made it out to be akin to terrorism. When in reality, texting and driving is more dangerous. I bet half those mad mothers text behind the wheel everyday.
Outrageous penalties like 2+ decades should be reserved for cases of extreme impairment. I don't know how drunk Ruggs was.. If I have 2 beers, I'm actually sober but legally drunk... should I go away for a third of my life?
Wasn’t he driving 150mph?

Driving 156 on a public street is turning your vehicle into a murder weapon
If he was doing 70, maybe your point has merit

I don't get why nearly every post refers to the high speed as being a factor. Guess it would have been acceptable if he had caused the girls death doing 55.
It happens everyday.

Daunte Stallworth had a similarly heinous DUI/manslaughter incident and only did 30 days in jail and was on house arrest for 2 yrs and got probation.
Big differences between the two...
Stallworth wasn't nearly as drunk, wasn't speeding nearly as fast (barely enough to receive a ticket), and the guy caused the situation by walking/running out in front of Stallworth
Not really comparable IMO

Because how many factors and bad choices do you need before an “accident” really isn’t accidental?
At 156 you practically remove the chances of something bad NOT happening Sonia it really an accident?

He killed this woman, but he did not murder her in cold blood. There is a difference. I am not saying he should skate, but treating this man like a murderer and giving him 26 years is absolutely overkill.

No - killing someone while driving 155 on a public street does not happen everyday. Not even close to every day.

26 years may be a life sentence if we're living in biblical times, and I think we may well be.
God help the victims family.

Just think if it was an exLSU player.
Bamaggies would be in full blown children’s hospital/willwade/dguice/what-kind-of-program-creates-these-guys melts.
TexWelch7 would make a thread every day. Instead it’s his favorite team’s player.

At English common law, almost all felonies got the death penalty.

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.
That is a larger part of the problem of insufficient punitive measures for serious crimes based partly of false hopes, in most cases, of rehabilitation and another part consideration for overcrowding prisons. Deterrence isn't sufficient for most serious crimes.
I'd much rather a higher tax burden go to expanding capacity for prisoners and laws to enact harsher punishments than the same taxes go to support the released murderer/rapist on welfare when they can't gain meaningful employment after prison.
Murder with intent deserves death or life, as does forcible/violent rape that scars (physically/emotionally) the victim for life . Killing someone through extreme negligence should be a minimum of 10 years and a max of each victims remaining years of lives that were stolen from them presuming a 100 yr life.
It is sad all around. And, nothing will be sufficient to fill the loss felt by her loved ones. But, nothing worsens the pain more for those left behind than punishments that are shamefully inadequate. Neither gets true justice, but the latter worsens the injustice.
