I find it hard to believe you can stab somebody in the chest trying to run you down on a motorcycle. If you had time to move to the side to avoid being hit, why then was it necessary to kill the man? All these questions lead up to him only receiving manslaughter not murder charges. 5 years isn’t much for killing a man.
