    Crikey, if I were that judge I’d be very cautious for the rest of my life for handing out such a sentence.

    Can the parents/family appeal? Because if not then life isn’t worth much.

      The driver got 15 months in jail and a 4 year driving ban in the end. Which is still pretty low, especially since the article said he didn’t show any sign of remorse.

        Shit like this is why a TV series like Dexter could exist. Some people are walking around just fine with themselves after committing a heinous act. If it was an accident, fine, don’t hate yourself forever, forgive yourself eventually, but showing no signs of remorse is something only a trashfire of a person could do
