I also think that the law for people who cause death by dangerous driving and/or similar should be changed. These acts should not be treated as a 'motoring offence. Murder/manslaughter should be regarded the same whether driving or not IMO.
Usually people are punished because the did something such as stab a person or did something badly, for example caused a death by dangerous driving.
This paramedic has been charged for doing nothing. He was not the only one, four other members of staff walked past that man and ignored him.
The paramedic had responded to Mr Cole's call for an ambulance and en route to the hospital an ECG test concluded that the pains were not cardiac related. Mr Cole was passed to the hospital staff.
Mr Cole later walked out of the hospital, went to a shop and collapsed outside the hospital when he returned. The paramedic believed him to be drunk and called security to deal with him.
I think the sentence is right and fair. Why weren't the other 4 hospital staff charged with the same offence?
As for treating a death caused by drink driving to be classed as murder is wrong. There is no intent to kill in the driving cases which is a requisite to make a charge of murder.

Because of his defence. He claims that at the time he believed he was acting reasonably, he had no reason to doubt that his belief that Mr Cope was drunk was wrong. He reasonably believed that Mr Cope had been discharged from the hospital. He was not directly responsible for Mr Cope as he had already been passed to A&E. He believed asking the security guard was the proper thing to do. Hospital staff routinely call security to deal with drunks.
He had a previously good record at work.
