I can't believe this. Twelve years in prison because some dopey young woman in a badly maintained car tried to keep up with him, ran out of talent and luck and crashed causing a triple fatality.

Yet he didn't crash himself. How the fk can anyone justify that prison sentance because of somebody else's lack of control?!

Undoubtedly he drove like a complete and utter tool, but why on earth he admitted causing death by dangerous driving I do not know. Surely they'd have had a hard time convicting him had he have pleaded not guilty?

If you were hauled up in court for speeding and tried to blame it on the driver that just overtook you, you'd have the book thrown at you!

Think I might go out and shoot someone now then, and blame it on a rapper. After all it's not totally my fault, if they hadn't have glamorised guns I wouldn't have felt compelled to do it!
