Only in America--A Fair Sentence? -

Drunk Nebraska [white] man who struck and killed two [Native Americans] people near Pine Ridge gets 51 months in prison. Timothy Hotz, 61, Rushville, pleaded guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter for killing Robert Whirlwind Horse, 23, of Manderson and Calonnie Randall, 26, of Wanblee. The two men were killed Aug. 27 as they walked alongside the highway between Pine Ridge and Whiteclay, Nebraska. Both men that were killed were sober, however, Hotz was driving drunk. Hotz struck the two men so hard he literally knocked them out of their shoes and socks! Remarkably, Hotz has been sentenced to ONLY four years in federal prison for the crime. I ask you, IS this JUSTICE?
