Silent Hill Writer Jailed for Vehicular Manslaughter

Who cares, the movie sucked anyway. I doubt the sequel will be any better, so maybe the guy that replaces him will be someone who actually played the game!

This wasn't a celeb thing as far as his sentence goes surprising enough. I also knew somebody who was drinking and driving hit and killed a little girl. He also only got one year in jail. Actually I'm surprised this guy got anything, but i guess he is only a writer so lol.

[citation][nom]ssalim[/nom]I'm confused with the story... Avary's wife? Zini's wife? He was drunk and drove into a telephone pole at 100mph... Avary's wife was ejected from vehicle and seriously injured... but Zini's wife was in another car. Where was Andreas Zini? So did Roger Avary get any injury?He should be in for more than 1 year. Driving drunk = 1 year, driving drunk and crash no death = 2 years, driving drunk and crash with death = 10 years. Driving not drunk and crash with death = life.[/citation]

What the hell?

Of course the other party will wish for the maximum penalty allowed. People also sue one another for rediculous sums of money. Does this mean that it is right?

I agree, drinking and driving makes the matter more serious. However, If he had not been drinking would you feel the same way? If this guy was truely his friend then he already feels more remorse than prison time could ever give him. The real problem was that he was driving drunk, not the fact that his accident had fatalities, as tragic as it might have been.

"He should be in for more than 1 year. Driving drunk = 1 year, driving drunk and crash no death = 2 years, driving drunk and crash with death = 10 years. Driving not drunk and crash with death = life."

What?
Are you trying to say, that beeing drunk is an excuse for killing somebody in car accident? Or aren't you responsible for beeing drunk?

Driving drunk should call the same consequences as a murder, regardless if anyone was hurt or not. Just because nobody did doesn't mean you didn't take the chance at taking someone's life. Everyone here knows just how irresponsible people are.

All that aside, what POS news to hear. I liked that movie. Now I get to feel guilty about considering seeing a sequel.

[citation][nom]hellwig[/nom]I guess he'll be writing it from prison. I don't think there's anything that would stop him.Is it because they're celebtrities, how do you get drunk, kill some one, and get a year in jail (or 30 days if you're Donte Stallworth)?[/citation]

If this is your idea of a celebrity, clearly you have never heard of important people like Lindsey Lohan and PAris Hilton. hahaha

Driving drunk isnt "shit happens" The ass needs to be in jail for life or worse for taking the life of another that way.

 

[c0r3f1ght3r]

wow I had a friend get more jail time for a marijuana possession charge than that... and this guy was drunk and killed a friend due to his stupidity... This world is so retarded...

Seems right sentence to me the only victims were people that knew they were driving with a drunk man. If you kill somebody else on the road or in another car then yes you deserve a man/vehicle slaughter charges and a longer sentence or big fine.

Yeah he got off easy.
I'm shocked no ones brought it up yet, but why the hell was he "traveling at 100mph."

I understand that it was an accident and he'll have to live with what he did for the rest of his life, but considering the drinking I think he should get AT LEAST 4-5, and in most places 100mph and up is criminal speeding which is also a felony, maybe cali is different.

Still... imo would easily be called reckless endangerment, I can't see anything less the 6 years being fair, considering someone died.
We all know probation isnt s*** compared to prison time.
