Motorhome driver sentenced in fatal accident
Driver pleads guilty to reckless homicide. He got off pretty light.

Couple of things to keep in mind:
- We weren't in the courtroom, grand or petit jury room, nor in the Prosecutor's office: we don't know the facts, mitigating circumstances, or affirmative defenses;
-It appears that the driver was convicted of a felony; pending local (i.e.state) laws, he: has lost the right to vote; has lost the right to possess firearms; has a "must report" criminal record that applies for job applications (maybe not relevant)and loan applications and (if applicable) apartment applications;
The sentence and conviction may or may not be appropriate but it is not inconsequential and we aren't in a good position to judge intent, actions, or inactions from a single news report.
