No sane jury will convict him of murder...the father will suffer his whole life. Prison does nothing in this case. So dumb.
That is some funky thinking. Prison is for rehabilitation, to mend a person to operate better in society. What will prison do for this man besides ruin his life more? It was an accident, a horrible accident - but there is no need to destroy this man's life further. You can't just take something black and white and apply it here. We have the ability for higher thought and can rationalize what needs to be done. Throwing someone in prison just because "laws were broken" is not the road to a functioning society. We need to be more analytical in our justice system.
Murder is a bit much, but I agree he has to be charged with something. Just because you are very very sorry does not mean you wont get punished by the law if you did something against the law. Some of you who are saying what would a prison sentence do, he is still going to suffer for the rest of his life. Yes, he will feel remorse and suffer for the rest of his life for being the cause of the death of his child due to his own negligence, and he will also need to pay for the laws he broke as well.
Not sure how the two of them are related. I mean he left a child in the car, that said child died directly due to his action and suffer baking in the damn car. "I forgot and I feel bad" does not make it ok in my eyes. He still broke the law, and he is still directly responsible for the lost of an innocent life.
