Rob Ramage Has Been Punished Enough

From CTV News,
The family of Keith Magnuson, who was killed in a drunk driving crash caused by former Toronto Maple Leaf captain Rob Ramage, is asking a judge to spare Ramage a prison sentence.
Magnuson’s son Kevin told a Newmarket, Ont. judge on Tuesday the Ramage family has been punished enough by the fatal accident and subsequent trial and conviction.
The Magnusons said they have forgiven Ramage for his actions, and would rather see him receive a sentence of community service instead of a penitentiary term.
*A surprising position for the family to take, considering they chose to take Ramage to civil court and were awarded $9.5 million in their wrongful death lawsuit.

I wasn’t commenting on the reasons why the family sued—nor judging them for doing so—I was simply pointing to the lawsuit they completed just weeks ago, in which Ramage was named.
The family’s compassion for Ramage in this situation is noteworthy, and perhaps people were surprised under the circumstances, that’s all.
