California Loophole: Fatal Accidents, Clean Driving Records

Description

In California, a criminal justice reform law has inadvertently created a loophole where individuals charged with vehicular manslaughter may avoid penalties similar to those for a speeding ticket. This is due to a misdemeanor diversion program that allows judges to erase certain misdemeanor cases from a persons record, including fatal car accidents. Victims families and prosecutors argue this devalues human life and creates an unfair system.
