As you read this heart-wrenching article by @alex_n_boyd, abt Jaskirat Sidhu & his fate after #Humboldt crash, allow me to give you examples of ppl committing acts w/ the same or higher level of moral blame worthiness, but receiving little to know punishment.
1st, keep in mind that in criminal law, we focus on a person's mental state, level of intention, both in deciding whether s/o is guilty, & in sentencing. Two ppl could have the same level of moral blame worthiness, but their actions lead to different results
