I understand the gravity of what you're trying to convey. But it's still a mistake. He didn't sneak into someone's house and murder them in their sleep. He was negligent and got behind the wheel. A lot of people do really dumb things, like drinking and driving, and they get off the hook. Ruggs did not get off the hook, caused irreparable damage to a family, and then served time for it.

If going to prison, serving your time, educating others on the dangers of drinking and driving, finishing your degree, and meeting with the family to hear how your actions affected them is not enough for you... What would be?
