If you want to kill someone in the US with little consequences, run them over with a car.
Germany the same. Small fine, three month without license, that's it for killing a human being.
If we're talking about an honest accident then how long do you think the jail term should be?
If it were an honest accident then nothing. If it were due to neglect or lack of due diligence then maybe a few months of of weekend jail or month of full time jail.
Holy shit, really? Never looked into it but judging by how people drive here (lots of people on their phones while driving, missing red lights all the time) it certainly doesn’t seem like there are severe consequences for any wrongdoings.
