Which English-speaking country does Billy live in? I can't think of a single country where you can kill someone through drunk driving and get away with it, but I'm not an international law expert, so maybe I'm missing something.
...Or maybe you just made a straw-man argument.
- flukus 10y agoDepends on your definition of "gets away with it", but it's very common to see these cases get away with a slap on the wrists. Sentences are usually a lot harder with alcohol involved though.
