In the Atlanta area, a 16-year-old girl kills three pedestrians while driving recklessly.
She is charged as a juvenile, makes an anti-bad driving video, does a little public service, and is already back driving and moving along with her life.
I think anyone who commits a crime with a vehicle should be charged as an adult, and efforts are underway to get the state law changed. Currently the county prosecutor decides.
