World famous skateboarder, Ali Boulala, has been sentenced to 4 years in jail with a non-parole period of 2 years for a motorcycle crash back in March 2007 that killed up and coming skateboarder, Shane Cross, and critically wounded himself.
Pretty sad stuff when it definitely wasn't intentional. But I would have to agree with the judge when he told Boulala, "You were therefore aware of the potential ramifications...You threw caution to the wind at a later stage on this evening".
Ali was so critically injured that he had to be put under a medically induced coma for 65 days until his vital signs were stable. It still isn't certain if he'll ever be able to get on a skateboard again due to a severe brain injury.
