What does killing someone with drunk driving get you usually in the U.S.?
some states not much, others substantial time. In KY a drunk driver in 1989 or so ran into a school bus coming back from an amusement park about 75 miles away and killed more than a dozen kids who died when the ensuing fire caused cushions in the bus seats to emit toxic fumes. I think he did about a year for each kid he killed.
on the other hand, many years ago a guy tried to kill himself and deliberately drove his station wagon the wrong way on an interstate near my home. Two girls I grew up with were in the back seat of their parents' Porsche-the vehicle the nutcase slammed into. The parents died, the girls survived as did the suicidal whacko. He only got a couple years. vehicular homicide due to DWI is getting more and more time lately
