The guy knowingly drives recklessly/negligently (pick one, it doesn't matter), causes a crash, kills another human being, and he shouldn't go to jail? This was not something beyond his control. He chose his behavior, and as a result of that behavior, there is now a wife without a husband, children without a father, and the guy that caused the whole thing should get a walk?
Lock him up.
Jail time for a 72 year old does nothing for the family and just punishes the taxpayers that have to pay for his incarceration and healthcare. If he was much younger I might agree. He he was drunk, I would agree with jail time.
Once he is found guilty, the officer's family will be compensated from the civil lawsuit. Nothing replaces the officer to his family, not even revenge.
