Accidents happen every day. That's negligence. But, caving to public pressure, they nailed him for gross negligence, willful indifference, and the like. Historically, past driving records don't suffice for that. Further, he was driving like every other bozo in a state with miles to nowhere and eight-foot corn.
He should bleed in the civil suit. But, this shouldn't have been a criminal matter.

Agreed. They just went way overboard to show that he wasn't getting special treatment and in so doing, they overcharged him and now he is convicted and will spend time in jail for what most people never spend time in jail for.
