Eight years for the death of a family. Why couldn't the sentence be higher?

Sebastian M. was sentenced to eight years for causing a fatal accident on the A1 highway, where a family died. Legal experts argue that his actions could be classified as murder with intent. Recent legal changes allow for harsher penalties for reckless driving, but the law was updated after the incident. Discussions continue about whether current penalties are sufficient, especially given the severity of the case. Prosecutors considered more severe charges but found them difficult to prove. The legal landscape has shifted since the accident, raising questions about the adequacy of existing laws.
