The civil lawsuit cannot give suspended prison sentence i guess. Who does this person know? Or is it usual in the US? In my country, a killer will always get time, even if its "only" negligence: the time will often get suspended until the next infraction. This end after 20 years, so at least idiots like this will maybe be careful about other people lives.

- orwin 3y agoFrance. It's not really deterrence (deterrence is mostly about other people not killing too, no?). This is taking into account that mistakes were made, and that maybe the person can improve and not be an idiot on the road. If the person can't improve, and is caught reckless driving or drunk driving (or worse, killing/hurting someone else), then the 'suspended' sentence transform into a full sentence, to protect other people from the idiot.
