“He is sentenced to two years and six months in prison for running the death of 14-year-old Elsa and for gross negligence in the traffic, illegal driving and hit-and-run.”
“It is possible to talk about the disaster with different words. It is possible to tell that life has ended for a child and the two parents have been left with his grief and his emptiness. It is possible to talk about the sections and the legislative history and precedent in the Supreme court. It is possible to speak of a middle-aged man who has got chance on chance on chance.”
“It is possible to talk about all this and start to read the judgment, whose content is not of that edifying nature.”
“49-year-old, 26-episode in the judicial record, ranging from assault and assault to drug offenses and fyllekörningar, explained during the trial that he pulled down on the drugs and the booze more than a month before a girl a Friday night get off the bus in the Orsa to greet a friend.”
