This is Freakin’ Insane!

Check out these two news reports I heard back to back on the radio this morning. Note the sections I have bolded.
Gordon Douglas Leathers, 51, faces up to life in prison if convicted of armed robbery.
Kent County sheriff’s investigators said Leathers robbed the restaurant Jan. 6 by threatening the 19-year-old cashier with a hammer and demanding that she give him the cash in the register. The Grand Rapids Press said Leathers was arrested in his vehicle shortly afterward.
Gagnon faces up to 50 years in prison if he is convicted on five aggravated vehicular homicide charges and two aggravated vehicular assault charges. He will remain in the Lucas County jail.
Police say Gagnon, whose blood-alcohol level was three times the legal limit according, was driving north on the southbound lanes of Interstate 280 on Dec. 30 when he slammed into the minivan of Danny Griffin, a former Livonia resident driving back with his family to their home in Parkville, Md.
Killed in the accident were his wife Bethany Griffin, 36; her children Lacie Burkman, 7; Haley Burkman, 10; and 2-month-old Vadie Griffin, all of Parkville, Md.; and her stepdaughter Jordan Griffin, 10, of Redford Township. Danny Griffin, as well as his daughter Sydney Griffin and stepson Beau Burkman, 7, survived.
Does this seem odd to anyone else?
A guy robs a Subway with a hammer and may go away for life.
Another guy gets hammered, drives down the highway the wrong way, kills a family and is only faced with 50 years?
That seems whack to me.
