What dya think will happen to the footballer,Luke McCormick over the deaths of the 2 young boys he caused?(UK)

Question

Does anyone else agree that celebs or just people with lots of money get treated differently in the eyes of the law? If me or you had done this it would be a very different case. I just think its disgusting I cant believe two brothers have been killed its just so sad. I mentioned it to my mum and we were on about Naomi Campbell-another celeb who never gets penalised, if a meer 'little person' had done what she has-for example her airport incidents-theyd probably be banned from flying for life, I just dont think its right, a law is a law whoever breaks them should get the same punishment!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I think and hope that the fact he is a celeb will go against him. This has been in the news so much that I believe it won't be swept under the carpet. Did you see that poor woman on the news? She had to tell her husband that their boys didn't make it. I can't imagine any greater pain. I hope he goes to jail for a long time. You can't get drunk and arrogant and get behind the wheel of a car. This is what happens!

Answer 2

I can't predict what WILL happen to him, but I know what I would LIKE to happen!!

He'll go to prison for a very long time and not be allowed behind a wheel again when he does get out.

This story actually had me in tears.  It's so sad.

Answer 3

They should throw away the key. Can not imagine what that poor mother must be going through. To make matters worse he had done PR for anti dangerous driving. Guys a t*t. why was he driving a £50k range rover and didn't have any insurance as well. Hope he burns in h**l.

Your right though he wont get punished hard enough, look at that football player i think fro west brom (Lee Hughes) who crashed his £150k merc in coventry killing a father of 3 and disabling another bloke. He was well over the drink driving limit. He did 2 years came out and got another job with another proffesinal football club.

Answer 4

He should pay the same penalty as anyone else who is drunk behind the wheel of a car with no insurance that kills someone!  He should go to prison for a while and not be allowed to drive again.

Answer 5

In this case the celeb wont be 'outside the law'.  Its a lot more serious than bullying your secretary or fighting the police.  He'll get probably 5 - 8 years in prison like a 'normal' person would.  West Brom's Lee Hughes got a 5 year sentence for a similar offence.  This is tragic.  Its a case of recklessness NOT evil intent.  However its right that he should serve at least a couple of years in prison because of the little children that were killed as a result of his behaviour.

Answer 6

I think he will go to jail, I read today that along with a charge of `death by dangerous driving`, he was also charged with Drunk driving.

Answer 7

h**l go to prison for causing death by dangerous driving.

Answer 8

Well he's been arrested for causing death by dangerous driving.  I think he will be punished by the laws of the land, not by witch hunts.  It is a terrible tragedy and my heart goes out to the family of little Arron and Ben Peak. x

Answer 9

he should be jailed..two innocent little boys,died because of him..the boys family,will never get over that..its a tragedy.mary.c.

Answer 10

He will go jail I guess.

He only plays for Plymouth so he won't have earn enough money to pay the family off.

Answer 11

How can you know how he will be treated?

He won't get away with this ~ it's huge.

Wait and see what the sentence is before you jump to conclusions.

*edit*

Quote " if me or you had done this it would be a very different case" end of quote.  Well what is the case ~ how has he been treated differently?
