Dude got lucky, because the Snyder family could have easily sued him for wrongful death. Instead, they looked past that and forgave him. Things could have been a whole lot worse for him.
I still don't feel sorry for the guy. The guy I really feel sorry for is Dan Snyder. I see more coverage on Dan Heately's anguish than I do on Dan Snyder's death. If anyone mentions Dan Snyder's death, it's as a footnote when they're talking about Dan Heatley. So many people seem to wish the authorities would just forget about that little accident, and let Heatley go on with his life.
He killed a man. If this guy were some schmuck off the street, no one would be saying how much they support him, or trying to justify his actions by stating how he "just made a mistake". I don't see any reason why Heatley should be treated any different than the common man.
