15 days is pretty light but the dude wasn't impaired and it was an accident. No reason to ruin another life over it

That indicates he not only saw them, but decided to pass them knowing he couldn’t give the required distance, while not slowing until after he hit them.

t was an accident.

“I started to slow down and go around them ... there was another vehicle coming on the incoming side and I didn’t want to hit them either so I tried to make the best decision and still go around them,” Alexander wrote. Alexander had said he had the cruise control for the rented Chevrolet Tahoe he was driving that day set for 35 mph. The State Police investigation estimated that Alexander’s speed was between 45 and 55 miles per hour at the time he applied the brakes, according to their calculations using a “slide to stop formula.” Police wrote in their report that Alexander braked “post impact,” meaning after he struck Amoroso. LINK That indicates he not only saw them, but decided to pass them knowing he couldn’t give the required distance, while not slowing until after he hit them.
this proves it wasnt an accident. it was negligence. he should be serving multiple years.
