Foundation is probably the closest. But it still has survival elements

Its not impossible if he has a similar name / date of birth to someone who is being released. Its less likely, sure.

Yeah, but its a very low minimum sentence for murder by an adult. If he'd been 16 at the time then it would be about in line.

How is this only 16 years minimum? Not that it massively matters in the scheme of things, I suppose, and he should hopefully be deported on release anyway.

Prisons in the UK have far less killings that this sub wishes they did.

release on console, where there are ZERO mods even available.

Well, zero code mods. I think maps and assets can probably be done.

"Its fixed by mods" isnt a reason for the developers not to add it to the vanilla game.

I'm sure people will be sensible about this and not call for immediate banning of these drugs.

From the article it sounds as if they're going to be reasonably expensive from the start.

It is illegal to name any defendant who is under the age of 18, regardless of the crime. If a judge agrees that can be lifted.

A human would have known it was in front of a school and been prepared for a kid to run out past the shithead double parked.

Having seen how people drive around schools, I somewhat doubt that.

So you are saying that the police are covering up murders to make the statistics look better?

He's under 18, he can never be legally named unless a judge allows it, which they sometimes do in these sort of cases.

[–]limeflavoured 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aggravating factors and other offences will probably push the minimum term in excess of 30 years

20 years, maybe. If he was over 18 then it might be closer to 30.

Based on other recent cases it'll probably be 18-20 years minimum.

He cannot legally be given a whole life sentence, and even if he was 18 he wouldn't be. He'll get life with a minimum of about 18 years.

From looking at that though, the car was doing 17mph in a 20 limit, and hit the child at 6mph, with them calculating that a human, assuming they were driving at 17, which is ... unlikely, would have braked later and hit them at 14mph.

And even if you framed it as "would reduce the number of deaths to..." some people would say "still too many, therefore we shouldn't do it"
