From another nearby thread, we have this suggestion: > [@RO: So many better ways to kill yourself...](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ro-so-many-better-ways-to-kill-yourself/676115/5): > > I remember a case in my city, may years ago, where a guy who had both alcohol and illegal drugs in his system went speeding down a street at 100 miles an hour. He hit another car carrying two moms and four kids. All six of them died, the dwi driver survived with minor injuries. So two men were widowed and childless. > > I don’t remember the sentence. But if I had been those husbands I might have argued for leniency. _“Just let him out soon, judge, only tell us where and when.”_ While **Baker** ’s suggestion was kinda-sorta inappropriate in that thread (it had to do, apparently, with a depressed suicidal guy), it seems a better fit for this case. And by golly, **Baker** ’s suggestion is exactly what this guy got. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/judge-lets-killer-drunk-driver-off-because-hes-spoiled/676119)._
