Hit and Run driver sentenced to 30 months in jail.

I'm not buying this line at all:

"Relevant witnesses and evidence showed that Hu didn't know he had initiated the tragedy until others mentioned it to him three days after the accident."

The video clearly shows him stopping and then starting forward again to run over her with the rear wheels and get away. There is no way he was unaware of what he'd done. Still, 30 months is better than nothing.

Driver sentenced over baby’s death mourned by nation

A court in Guangdong Province on Wednesday sentenced a driver to two-and-a-half years in jail for involuntary homicide that resulted in the death of a 2-year-old girl, a case that prompted nationwide soul-searching in 2011.

Hu Jun was convicted of involuntary homicide in the final trial by the Foshan Intermediate People's Court in the province where the girl, named Wang Yue, also called Xiao Yueyue, was hit and crushed by Hu's minibus and another vehicle on October 13, 2011, the Guangzhou-based Yangcheng Evening News reported. 

The critically injured Wang was left lying on the street as 18 pedestrians and cyclists passed by without stopping to help. An elderly scrap collector eventually came to the infant's aid but she died of brain injuries days later, according to the Xinhua News Agency. 

Relevant witnesses and evidence showed that Hu didn't know he had initiated the tragedy until others mentioned it to him three days after the accident. 

He recognized his vehicle after being shown the video footage. He then surrendered to police, the newspaper said.  

On September 5, Hu was sentenced to three-and a half years imprisonment by the Nanhai District People's Court in Foshan.  

After the first trail Hu appealed his sentence and agreed to pay 303,000 yuan ($48,632) to the toddler's parents, who said they forgave Hu, reported the newspaper. 

During the second trial, the court heard that the incident occurred on a pedestrian walkway between stores in a hardware market that was not designed for motor vehicles. The prosecution insisted Hu's conviction should not be overturned. 

Given Hu's positive action and willingness to compensate the victim's parents, the court agreed to reduce Hu's penalty. 

"The second trial is appropriate and in line with China's criminal law," Wang Zhenyu, a law researcher with the China University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times. "Hu turned himself in to police and paid compensation. He should get a lighter penalty."
