I’d have given him at least 12 just for causing the death because of drink driving. Then to bury the body and pervert the course of justice, add on a lot more time.
I believe he will be eligible for parole after just six years?
Good on the girl for exposing it all, as others have said 12 years doesn’t seem enough

12 years doesn’t sound long enough. I wonder how long he’d have got in England? Any more? (edit – doesn’t look like it. Here’s a drink driver who [got five years](https://road.cc/content/news/paramedic-who-killed-cyclist-avoids-being-struck-302033) for killing a cyclist after drinking ten pints and while using his phone.)
