However if he is found guilty, as an adult, he will not be sentenced as lightly as Mr. Bell.
Our justice system will have failed then if MF gets a stiffer sentance than MB, because no matter what your age, driving drunk and crashing and killing someone is way worse than a bar fight, ask both victims families.
Never argue with idiots, they just drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
