Truck driver who killed Davide Rebellin seeks plea bargain to halve proposed prison sentence (cyclingmagazine.ca)

For context... not only did the truck driver kill this former pro cyclist and flee the scene, but he also pleaded guilty to another hit-and-run in 2001 (that person survived).

As if 6.5 years wasn't shameful enough, they are trying to plea him down to half that.

Can anyone think of any other form of murder, using any other weapon, that's viewed with such unimportance as killing people with motor vehicles and leaving the scene? Just turns my stomach.
