You need to stop saying that.   He wasn't just a young person who made a terrible mistake.  You're misleading people into thinking that he was pretty innocent.  You've said this several times and been taken to task for it; most disagree with you.  Are you his mother?

But an adult who is 2 years out of high school who has had numerous driving incidents, hasn't cleaned up his act, hasn't tried to take a driving course, and then goes 80 miles over the speed limit on a local non-highway road, and kills 3 people is not just a terrible mistake.  It's criminal negligence and should be treated the same as any other manslaughter case.  Calling this a terrible mistake minimizes his fault in this.  That suggests that he couldn't have thought that what he was doing would hurt someone.  15-20 miles over the speed limit that injures someone by accident is a terrible mistake.   80 miles over the speed limit on a local road with crossing traffic and traffic lights is homicidal and criminally negligent.  Worlds apart.
