I don't want to get drawn into an argument regarding the good that comes from conviction in this type of case, and therefore will not respond to the rest of your post |

I don't think it's anyone else's place to even wish that a family would extend mercy under the circumstances. I think it is completely usurping their right to mourn their deceased relatives. I think it takes a lot of gall to be so presumptuous as to make any judgment about the families of the victims (which is exactly what you are doing by wishing they show mercy and not seek prosecution). If the families were to decide that on their own, then I would applaud them for it. But to intimate that they "should" do that is de facto passing judgment on them in the event they choose not do to do so. I.e., it is implying that they are acting less than charitable. I hope you do not get your requested acknowledgement that your wish is not dismissive of the lives of those who were tragically lost, because that is exactly what it is. It is arrogant, presumptuous, and wrong. How the victims' families react to the loss is completely their prerogative. For anyone to opine as to how they "should" react is the height of audacity. I'm like Rocky here. Just calling it like I see it.

No, it isn't.

Has anyone heard anything further on this incident? I did a little searching and all I found was a brief newspaper note on June 20th that the man will be charged with two misdemeanor counts of vehicular manslaughter.
