Did anyone check the poll? It seems that the majority of the people believe that the punishment was correct. I have to say that since he left the scene of the accident and alcohol was involved the sentence was not enough. Lets turn the tables and this was a firefighter killed (on or off duty) we would be saying the he needs to hang. Everyone has been exposed to the drunk30 calls and having to avoid the drivers on the roadways that have had too muuch to drink. Any sentence imposed of alcohol related incidents need to have the punishment enhanced to attempt to keep the person off the streets and make it a tool for teaching others what is in store for them if they decide to drink and drive.
