Kevin Hollinsky was convicted of dangerous driving after an alcohol-induced accident which caused the death of two passengers -- his best friends. He received an unusual and controversial sentence for the crime. In our show, we speak with Kevin's family, his friends' parents, the police, the trial judge and lawyers. They explain why Kevin was given an "alternative" sentence, and the impact that sentence has had on Kevin and the young people in his community.
