To make it worse, the boys' dad was a firefighter and was one of the first responders on the scene.
At least the guy that caused the accident got more seriously punished. He was sentenced to 20 years. I'm not sure how much he actually served.

I can't imagine that experience ... Seeing your child like that. Thats quite literally the worst thing a person could experience.
I agree about the leniency. Back then it was almost a joke to drive drunk. I remember them .along laws after taking licenses away for one year then three and then ten and thinking how stupid that is as it only takes once to really destroy a lot of lives.
