Things are not always what they seem....no excuses for the young man, he exercised extremely poor judgment and shouldn't have been piloting that boat. But poor judgment seemed to abound that night. There is a question in some minds that the boat he hit was without lights and parked, not in a cove or secluded area but a fairly high traffic area.

The families of those killed were influential in the sentencing...I think they recognized that the young man needed to pay for his crime, but to incarcerate him for a long time would just waste another life.

Really sad all the way around.
