I wasn't that time either. Since the ACM's system was the one I was asking about, I merely used the current system as an example. Hence my use of the phrase "at least in our current system" which I presumed indicated that the current system was
not the one under discussion. I apologize if I was not clear.

Although if guilty under a righteous system the death penalty is the proper penalty for either crime (murder or manslaughter).
Finally, the answer to the question I asked!
That wasn't too hard, was it?
As promised, my answer to your question:
...what do you think should happen to the drunk driver who kills innocent people?
Indictment and trial by jury for manslaughter. If convicted, execution.
Now if you're willing, on to the next scenario which brings us back closer to the thread topic...
Suppose my neighbor's pregnant wife was not killed, merely injured. Due to the injuries she sustained after being hit by the drunken driver's auto, she miscarried and produced a still-birth.
Q: In this scenario, what penalty would you mete out for the drunken driver under your hypothetically "righteous" system?
What is the basis for your judgement?
