There are two types on manslaughter, the first is Voluntary Manslaughter which is where a person murders, but has got one of the 3 defences to murder (Diminished Responsibility, Provocation or Suicide Pact), so this isn't the case here.
The second is Involuntary Mnanslaugther, where the victim commits an unlawful act which unintentially leads to a death. A good example of this if a person set fire to a house, not knowing people were inside it, and then the people in the house burnt to death. This is more likely to be what this woman commited, but as I already stated, it's Death by Dangerous Driving :)
whatever its called somebody is now dead becuase some had the text "OMG orly did dat rly appn WOW!"
so she should be locked up for at least 4-7 years imo
I personally think what she already has is enough, plus the guilt and regret she is going to have for the rest of her life - thats worse than any prison sentance.
so the punishment for doing something bad (murder) should be the death of that person? slightly hypocritical considering that would be taking ANOTHER live lol it turns into a vicious cycle.Quote:

I would agree but it would be so much more complicated than that. What happens if they convict the wrong person for the murder? Than they get sued, and the government loses money, puts us in more of a recession.Quote:

exactly. its not as easy as people think. murder isnt always black and white. everyone thinks society should run on simplistic rules like eye for an eye but the reason there's complications is because of the complicated nature of certain casesQuote:
