For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.HC....I am not sure there were any mitigating factors. Here is a quote from the WalesOnLine website :::
"At a sentencing hearing at Swansea Crown Court on Tuesday Judge Christopher Vosper said Clements, of Culfor Road, Loughor, refused to accept he was to blame for the accident and had shown little remorse. Throughout his trial Clements denied causing the deaths of Jonathan Knoedl and James Holder by driving dangerously in his Volkswagen Golf on September 15, 2012"
So he took drugs, killed his two mates, lied in court and showed no remorse. It sounds as he got off very, very lightly indeed !

Same difference to me annie....if you take cocaine and marijuana on a regular basis, you are a drug addict as far as I am concerne. Both are highly addictive. If he hadn't been taking drugs that evening, he might not have the accident in the first place.
Can't understand why this isn't manslaughter though...where is New Judge when we need him ?
This accident happened very close to me here in Swansea, and my nephew went to school with one of the dead boys.

"You seem not to understand addiction Mikey. " - ok ummmm so you think that an addict should have special sentencing when they commit these attrocities? I know you are speaking from experience but really people need to control their own lives. Killing 2 people by stupidity, in my opinion should increase the senetence, this is not far off murder in my opinion. Because of this selfish idiot 2 innocent people will never see the sun rise again. Throw away the key.
Ummmm...with respect, I understand addiction well enough, although perhaps not as well as you do ( going by TTT's comment above) If you or your family have been affected by drugs, than you have every sympathy from me.
This stupid young man thought it was OK to take highly addictive drugs, and then drive home, and because his judgement was therefore impaired, he killed two of his friends. I have far more sympathy for his two friends than I will ever have for him. I support a zero tolerance to drugs, which is maybe too harsh for some people, but...there it is.
