I think the guy should probably serve some jail time, but I wouldn't want to ruin his life either (as a juror).
From the dads perspective, he most likely doesn't regret a thing he's done. His kids are gone, and he made the SOB pay.
I'd bet his marriage is tumultuous at best (but I could be wrong). I'd have to think losing your kids, especially in this manner, would be very hard to overcome (if at all).
As a prosecutor, do you really want to throw the book at somebody who experienced this? You don't want vigilante justice, but, the drunk driver essentially executed two young children, and there should be consequences.
