IS THIS REALLY JUSTICE? YOU DECIDE !

A FRIEND OF MINE CALLED, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT LIFE AND EVENTS AND WE GOT ON THE SUBJECT OF THE OUTCOME OF A MURDER TRIAL GETTING READY TO START BUT ENDING IN A PLEA DEAL.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T LIVE IN THE NORTH ALABAMA AREA,  YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD THIS STORY, BUT HERE IT IS.
IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR A TRAGIC WRECK TOOK THE LIVES OF 2 YOUNG PEOPLE, THE FACTS AS STATED ARE:
1. THE DRIVER THAT KILLED THE TEENS WAS AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT
2. THEY WERE SITTING AT A REDLIGHT WHILE ON A DATE, MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS
3. THE ILLEGAL WAS INTOXICATED AT 3 TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT
4. HE WAS RUNNING FROM THE POLICE
5. HE RECEIVED 2-15 YEAR SENTENCES TO BE SERVED CONSECUTIVELY
6. HE PLEAD GUILTY TO ONLY MANSLAUGHTER
NOW, I UNDERSTAND PLEA DEALS, IT SPARES THE FAMILY THE HORROR OF RELIVING THE WHOLE THING AGAIN, IT INSURES A GUILTY VERDICT, AND USUALLY SENDS THE OFFENDER TO JAIL.  ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE ACCOMPLISHED, AND I AM TRULY GLAD FOR THE FAMILIES THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO HEAR AND SEE THE HORRORS THEY, I'M SURE HAVE BEEN SUFFERING WITH FOR THE PAST 11 MONTHS AND WILL FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
THE GENERAL CONSENUS OF EVERYONE I HAVE HEARD FROM AND TALKED TO IS THIS,
WHY SUCH A LIGHT SENTENCE FOR TAKING THE LIVES OF 2 PEOPLE JUST STARTING THEIR LIVES ?
WAS THERE NOT ANOTHER OPTION FOR A MORE SEVERE SENTENCE? WHY ARE WE THE TAXPAYER GOING TO PAY FOR HIM TO STAY IN A PLACE NICER THAN HE CAN GO BACK TO IN MEXICO ?
I KNOW THE JUDGE AND PROSECUTOR IN THIS CASE ARE HONORABLE, FAIR, FAMILY MEN AND HAD REASONS FOR THIS, AND MAYBE IF THEY WOULD ELABORATE JUST A LITTLE MORE ON THE REASONS BEHIND IT, WE WOULD UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT IT A BIT MORE.
MY HEART FELT PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS GO OUT TO THE FAMILIES WHO LOST THEIR CHILDREN IN THIS SENSELESS TRAGEDY AND I HOPE THAT EVERYONE WHO READS THIS WILL ALSO INCLUDE THEM IN THEIRS.
