The fact that the driver is young and has no criminal history doesn't mean he is exempt from the consequences of driving negligently. Oh wait, I guess in this case it does mean that.

One was an accident by a young driver with no criminal history and was ruled AN ACCIDENT, the other was a DRUNK DRIVER with an extensive rap sheet!!! This article is very deceiving, get the facts straight so people aren't misled. You’re missing the two main differences in these cases.
