Eye for an eye with no guilty intent?

I can understand 'eye for an eye' but only when there is a guilty intent and deliberate action.

Imagine you teenage kid going to jail for life because they took a corner too fast and killed another person, would the punishment fit?

The victim in this matter, his parents said on TV something along the lines of 'He should go away for a long time, I want his family to know what it's like to lose someone'. That to me is just vindictive and victimises the offenders family to make them feel a little better.

There's a big difference between people with guilty intent and people who've made and unintentional mistake, and people that're reckless.

I agree with most of Sidney's posts in this topic.
