In the eyes of the law, it makes a huge difference. Vehicular manslaughter (like other accidental death felonies) isn't a capital crime. It doesn't matter if there are ten, twenty, or fifty counts of vehicular manslaughter, they still don't add up to a death sentence. Life in prison, sure. Successive sentences that amount to a life sentence, sure. But not death.
