Boo hoo hoo.

So what? He'll go to the bar and drink away his anguish at dropping his girlfriend 250 feet through a window and onto concrete? Poor guy.

Meanwhile there's a family having to bury their daughter (who incidently is a fucking moron for even being with someone like that) and, if the quoted logic is what the judge believes, spends the rest of their lives knowing that the guy who dangled their daughter over a ledge and then dropped her gets to go free....because he has a hangover.
