I agree with Brian. The punishment should be consistent regardless of what caused the death. The problem, as I see it, is how judges apply the law. They usually have wide latitude of punsihment and with the over crowded jails they don't impose heavy punishment for traffic related deaths. Someone shoots someone-they go to jail. Run over someone- 'I hated to ruin a person's life because that is the only mistake they have ever made.'
