Silent Hill Writer Headed To Jail For Drunken Crash

[JWAN]

If they'd jailed him for working for Tarantino, or scripting a movie where Sean Bean lives, he wouldn't have been out that night...

Tragic stuff though, manslaughter through dangerous driving could really do with a much longer sentence.

The other issue with California is they have a HUGE prison problem, mostly because they don't deport non citizens and the death row inmates are on a 45 year waiting list, so they lock them up.

They should do what they are supposed to do and then they wouldn't be bankrupt all the time.

One year? What the hell is that for taking a life? The bastard killed someone.

But it was manslaughter,and that has a lighter sentence.

Yea, your right but he still killed someone. That guy is never gonna eat bread sticks in Italy ever again because this dumb ass-clown decided to drink and drive.

He was speeding, driving drunk, AND he killed someone. I would get more than a year JUST for killing someone. What happened to being more strict on people who drive drunk?

EDIT: And don't give me some bullshit about guilt. That fucker waived that when he got in his car drunk.

Electric floors and a shoe ban in prisons.

My regards to the man who died and the woman who was injured

this might give him some inspiration for a new game
this should teach him not to drink and drive

Not quite!
I have accused them, at most, of being slightly more unstable than the next person.
I did say "close friends," not "inseparable."

That's cool. I know we tap on the walls of madness at times, but we're not totally nuts.

Im saying 8 years minimum, no chance of parole. Dead is dead is dead.

I'd say have strength in their convictions. There's no point in not doing what they need to AND what they SET out to do. It makes them appear weak, not at all compassionate. They do it to appease some "thing" that they feel they need to address.
Its absolutely stupid and THAT is why I will never stand behind California any further than the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego.

 

[Druss the Slayer]

I don't understand why his wife and his best friend let him drive, if he was so out of it :s

And shit man :O i wonder what's going through his head, now that he nearly killed his wife and did kill his best friend. Ouch...

 

[Acidoctor]

Ooh, american movie writer... never mind then.

 

[Leroy Frederick]

Dumb enough driving while intoxicated, but why his wife and the deceased friend drove with him in that state or let him drive I don't know. Also considering his wife was sent flying suggests the classic no seat belts that seems to be a regular in celebrity / entertainment fatalities / injuries.

All very avoidable and wasteful really. I hope him and his wife have learned from this and perhaps can impact or help others / zini's family in some positive way from making the same mistake(s).

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

You know what?
That's such bullshit.

You should get more jail time for killing someone through idiocy than for premeditated murder.

Hell, being stupid should be a crime.

The word 'stupidity' is subjective more often than not, though. I'd rather not have a justice system that judges you based on your intelligence as opposed to what you've done.

 

[FinalGamer]

You ass.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

A year for that? A bit harsh, isn't it?

I'm kidding. That's actually insane. If I killed someone in a car wreck because I was driving drunk, I would get... well, I'm not sure but way more than a year. I hate it how famous people get treated better. Celebrities take pictures of themselves doing drugs, but a man could be arrested for suspicion of drug possession. It's insane...

At least he's a good writer, though...

 

[A Weary Exile]

He only got one year? He should have gotten way more; he was both excessively speeding and driving drunk.

Agreed, also I had not idea there was going to be a Wolfenstein movie. I'm sure it will suck.

 

[hypothetical fact]

The word 'stupidity' is subjective more often than not, though. I'd rather not have a justice system that judges you based on your intelligence as opposed to what you've done.

But it's also judging you based on what you've done.

In both cases, you just killed someone.

It's just that, in one case, you did so because you're a horrific mistake that makes God cry, and in the other, you did it because [whatever].

No. In one case someone spikes your drink and you drive into a tree sending the passenger through the windshield, in the other someone offends your honour, family, wallet, social life so you push them off a balcony. One falls under manslaughter, one under murder. Which sounds worse?
