I fully realize motor vehicle accidents happen and I also fully realize that even gross negligence is not murder. I also fully realize criminals and even murderers are entitled to legal counsel, in fact I remarked I don’t blame him for seeking legal counsel before police arrest him: it can make a big difference and, as akuperma wrote, being experienced of how criminal law works, he is aware of that. However I wonder what happened to the girl you mention (I don’t remember the story) after the terrible accident (may none of us and our loved ones ever get involved), I would think she is now married with children and drives carefully, or perhaps was so shocked she gave up driving altogether. On the contrary that person has already been negligent with a gun and killed someone, was driving under the influence a few days ago, his own mother told reporters she does not want anything to do with. You can’t compare two completely different incidents, especially not in order to make a (questionable) statement of principle.
