Do you give a damn about murderers, 18 or younger?

How can you suspend a licence for a 16 year old?

She/they made more than one mistake though no?
1) Driving at an insane speed in a residential area like you want to kill someone.
2) Hit & run
3) Take to repair shop/destroy evidence.
4) Left the country. (or attempted to)
Come to think of it though, if anything, all 4 are probably more just normal behaviour on the roads in the KoW.

Well, Cambridge defines a “murderer” as “someone who illegally and intentionally kills another person“.Baas Babelaas wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 10:57 amDo you give a damn about murderers, 18 or younger?

As I don’t believe she intentionally killed the woman, I don’t think she’s a murderer.

I believe it's 10 months suspended prison sentence, known as being on license.
"You will also have a licence if you're out of prison on a home detention curfew (on a tag). Being on licence means that you are still serving a prison sentence but you can live in the community instead of being in prison. ... If you break the rules, you'll have to go back to prison (be recalled)."

Bringing the news. You stay classy, nas, Cambodia.
Quite the shocking comment, especially in the context of the KoW where those with $$$$ simply buy themselves the result they want to have when in legal trouble.Miguelito wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 10:17 amShe’s a 16 year old girl that made a careless mistake. I don’t think this event should define her life, and I don’t think throwing her away until she’s 18 serves a positive purpose anyways.
Criminal justice should serve three purposes: 1) punish the guilty, of course; 2) rehabilitate the guilty; and 3) deter others.
I think that this experience will teach her that there are consequences, that she’s not immune to those, and hopefully it will affect her future actions - at the same time showing her peers that they too would not be above the law.
It was vehicular manslaughter and she’s a minor. I think this is an appropriate punishment given the circumstances. And, it’s a lot longer than Caitlyn Jenner served in the U.S.
As already pointed out, it was more than "a[/one] careless mistake".
I'd like to see her driving privileges suspended for a considerable length of time - years we're talking. That would be the only sentence that would provide her with any lasting reminder that risking manslaughter will have consequences.
Me, the cynic, says she learned that the money her family has protects her from such inconveniences and that's about it.
The C. Jenner case was just as flawed as this one is (her fame helping her get a lighter sentence than any Jane Doe would have received; the victim's children dropping their charges also helped a lot, of course). In addition, the verdict there was that "...Jenner was complying with the speed limit but moving too fast for the road conditions that day.", so hardly comparable to this one. In any case, two wrongs don't make a right.

I'm not sure that anyone, rich or poor, gets heavy sentences for driving offences. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't remember hearing of any.

I was told years ago that even when the rich are sentenced to jail they only ever serve some form of home detention.

It would do nothing of the sort. Traffic police very seldom do checks, and even then, a few $ would get her out of any problem.
Only a lengthy jail sentence would do it, but several people think that's incompatible or impractical for whatever reason.

If she were a 16 year old girl driving a 1990 Toyota Camry on the way to the market (albeit speeding heavily), would you all think she deserves the harsh prison sentences you’re advocating for now?
As someone just said, how often have we heard of any lengthy penalties for driving offenses? Deaths are caused on the roads every single day, but as this was caught on camera it went viral, and had a good villain in the form of a rich girl driving a Range Rover.
I’m not defending her, or anyone, that drives recklessly like that. But even in the U.S. she wouldn’t serve ten years in prison. And her being rich here doesn’t seem to have helped her at all, but has put the spotlight more on her.
I know it’s easy to rail against the rich, especially in a developing country, but she is still a 16 year old girl that was not acting maliciously, but made a mistake. It’s a mistake that led to a tragedy, but I think this final outcome is appropriate.

Meanwhile or thereabouts in Thailand:
https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-as ... om-websiteMr Vorayuth, a grandson of Red Bull co-founder Chaleo Yoovidhya, is accused of running over and killing 47-year-old patrolman Police Senior Sergeant-Major Wichean Klinprasert on Bangkok's Sukhumvit Road in 2012.
The policeman's body was dragged about 200m along the road.
Mr Vorayuth, who has repeatedly ignored previous summonses and has yet to be charged with a crime, was due to face his accusers in April 2017 but days before that encounter he left Thailand. He has reportedly been spotted in the United States.
According to the Bangkok Post, the speeding charge was dropped as its one-year statute of limitations had expired.
The second charge - failing to stop his car to help a crash victim - expired on Sept 3 last year.
The third and most serious charge of reckless driving causing death will remain pending until 2027.
If he is ever brought to justice and convicted, Mr Vorayuth could face up to 10 years in jail and a fine of up to 20,000 baht (S$842).
