12 years jail time for drunken hit-and-run-driver

[heinzy]

Compared to our pusillanimous judges, their Israeli counterparts  seem to keep in mind the   meanings and  purposes of 'justice': 

The Central District Court in Petah Tikva sentenced hitand- run driver Tal Mor to 12 years imprisonment on Sunday for killing cyclist Shneor Cheshin.

Mor was also ordered to pay Cheshin?s family NIS 30,000 in compensation and was banned from holding a driver?s license for 20 years.

As he read the judgement, Judge Zacharia Caspi had harsh words for Mor, whom he said had ?fled from his soul in order to escape the law.?

///
?We had wanted 14 years,?

 ?But we think the judge gave a clear message to the public and we hope this will be a deterrent for other drivers.?

Seems harsh by our standards Heinzy, but it IS justice.
