Racing or speeding before can’t be used against him if he was never charged with anything before. And not having a license and speeding are not criminal offenses so wouldn’t add to the sentence.

I doubt it will be used to add to the sentence because it’s not criminal it’s a traffic citation. Traffic tickets don’t count as having a criminal record.

There's stiff penalty in America that penalizes someone for involuntary vehicle manslaughter. It's all a matter of costs associated with the civil trial. He'll get probably 12 months in jail then the civil trial will take only 2 months to complete will likely be a 1-2 million dollar penalty.

Most all kids are dumb for the most part.
Not all but a good portion of them
It is a shame that this situation cost a life.
Just a darn shame.

That said,
There are more than plenty of these situations with kids that come from less affluent homes that drive cheaper cars.

I see a lot of hate because he was fortunate enough to be well off.

Jelly much?

He's not going to get a harsh punishment. Hopefully he is as remorseful as he claimed to be in court and he will change his ways now and not be a spoiled, entitled brat like he was.

His mother wept in court. Where was she all the times he was speeding before, and getting citations? And had his license revoked?

Are the parents married? Divorced?

Married. One of the articles said she was against giving the car to him. It sounds like dad rules the roost.
