In our Canadian town a man while driving, turned around to see if his child was choking on a banana and killed a senior lady crossing the street. 

There were victim impact statement by the family regarding the importance of their mother and grandma.

The man also spoke about his deep sorry and how the accident affected his life.

The judge believed the man's sincerity and gave him a community work sentence and the senior lady's family  was pleased.

The reason: One life was already destroyed, why destroy another with a young child.
