Drunk drivers who kill people should not be out of prison before their victims' children are eighteen, in most situations.
So someone who kills a parent of a newborn would get a mandatory minimum of 18 years, and someone who kills the parent of a 17-year-old would get a mandatory minimum of 1-year? What is the reasoning behind this?
No...?
In general, I'm saying people who kill people through grossly negligent manslaughter or worse should not be getting out of prison in less than (let's say) fifteen years, so if there are children, they wouldn't be free to contribute much child support.
