CMV: Hit-and-Runs should be punished with the maximum sentence when there is a death and those drivers who stop should receive a lesser sentence.

&#x200B;<br><br>\*\*Disclaimer\*\*: I'm glad that there have been lots of comments, I'll try to respond to everyone's points but time is limited. <br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Hello there. Please change my view. A couple of days ago there was a post of a (drunk?) driver that hit a 13-year-old girl, killing her. The driver left the scene and the girl died. If the driver had stopped, she might still be alive \*\*IF\*\* the driver stopped in time. The driver is now facing a 3rd-degree felony which is 2-5 years in jail. I believe that drivers that hit-and-run when there is a death involved should have a harsher punishment. Perhaps 1st or 2nd-degree felony. Then for drivers who hit-and-run but stop to try to save the person's life should have a lesser punishment, perhaps a misdemeanor. I understand that if you hit someone and run, it's obviously bad, but is it worse if you hit and run away with the intention of saving the person you just hit? I'm not saying that you should run every time you hit someone just in case you get in trouble but if you hit someone and run to get help and come back to try and save that person I feel like that should be taken into consideration into the punishment there receive. I know that it's not black and white but it seems like those who run just because they are scared and don't try to save the lives of the people they just killed should receive harsher punishment than those who do. I'm not saying they get off Scott free but a lesser punishment seems like it would make sense. Thoughts?
