His culpability is aggravated by the mobile phone use, and by being drunk. We don't know from the report how prolonged the use of his phone was. That said the six years suggests he was sentenced to nine years, the maximum point in the range for culpability level B. A one-third reduction then applied giving the six year sentence. Don't forget he has also got a huge driving ban. (The maximum sentence is 18 years btw). https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/crown-court/item/causing-death-by- |  |

Only 6 years on 15:32 - Nov 18 with 854 views | NthQldITFC | As far as I'm concerned that level of wilful, even joyful, taking risks with other people's lives and consequently actually taking a life is very much indistinguishable from murder.
