You must live under a rock, or be very sheltered from the news.
Yes, it was Mossman, who killed Tim Sing. He got a 30 day sentence - to be served on weekends and told the judge he was "too busy" to start his sentence on the first weekend.
But you don't recall hearing about Aliyah Braden, the 17 MONTH old girl killed by a drunk driver on 4/23/09?
Or what about the 2 landscape workers, Josephina Visqya and Patrocinia Cadang killed by the drunk and drugged driver on 9/10/12?
Lets not forget about Ted Braxton, the 22 year old musical prodigy killed by the drunk driver on 4/28/11 - who had a BAC of .283 - and when finally stopped by police, the moped Ted was on when killed was still being dragged under his van?
And then we have the 20 year old UH student Brody Winslow killed on 4/11/12 at 7:30 in the morning by the drunk and drugged lady driver who had a BAC of .18. After she hit him, she took off and was finally stopped several blocks away.
Clearly you are very naïve and very ignorant to the toll drunk drivers place on this community.
More importantly, you also fail to realize that the prevalence of drunk drivers and the resulting deaths of totally innocent people is directly the result of the hand slap punishments handed out by the prosecutors and judges.
