"I made a mistake, but you guys are trying to put me away for 10 to 20 years—on a mistake,"

A mistake?

A mistake is when you hit reply all to an email to talk shit about your boss. A mistake is when you push a door clearly marked pull. My son not wearing the wrist strap on his VR controller and breaking the TV was a mistake.

A girl dying because you couldn’t be bothered to put your goddamned phone down and do your fucking job is not a mistake.

Mistakes don’t result in the death or serious harm of another person.
