Is it really in the public interest to prosecute this man for his childrens' deaths.

Really sad story, I accept that because of his incompetent mechanical repairs his landrover was dangerous and because of this his children died. But there's no suggestion he thought the vehical was dangerous, he maybe thought he'd done a great amateur repair job. Regardless I'm sure the death of 4 of his children is punishment enough. If he gets found guilty he may well go to prison which I think would be terrible for him and his other children.

I'm sure what he has suffered will be taken into account when he's sentenced. Who knows, he may not even get a custodial sentence.

It's right that he's prosecuted, the sentencing is where they decide how you will be punished, or how much likelihood there is of you doing it again, and any judge would not go that heavy on someone in this situation.

very, very sad, but it is "death by dangerous driving".
