Family members asked the court to free musician Chillmaster after he promised to care for a dead man's children. Lucia Charambira told the judge that Chillmaster paid funeral costs and half the money they wanted for damages. She believed he should go free because he planned to pay school fees for the children. His lawyers said he also offered monthly food until the kids turn 18. The court rejected these appeals.
Instead, it ordered Chillmaster to complete 420 hours of community work at Stoneridge Primary School for killing someone through careless driving. He must also pay $200 because he drove without a license. Chillmaster admitted guilt on both charges. The crash happened as he drove with three passengers and hit a person walking on the roadside. The victim died right away from broken legs and head injuries.
Many people online thought the punishment seemed light for such a serious case. Some argued the court made the right call since Chillmaster showed regret and helped the family. Others felt famous people receive easier treatment from the courts. A few mentioned similar cases where people faced jail time rather than community service.
