The man who killed museum curator and beloved Kansas Citian Greg Hawley has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, according to The Kansas City Star.

Edward Tseona told a Jackson County judge that he was racing his car on Interstate 70 when he lost control. Hawley died in the ensuing wreck.

Hawley, along with his father and brother, unearthed a sunken steamboat and a haul of frontier cargo from a cornfield north of the Missouri River. They cleaned the artifacts and opened the Steamboat Arabia Museum.

Tseona's sentencing is scheduled for February 5, 2010. He faces up to a year in county jail, up to seven years in the Missouri Department of Corrections and/or a fine up to $5,000.

Oh boy. You kill someone and you get a $5000 fine and maybe a year in jail. What a deal.

But really, he kills someone and gets his hand slapped and then gets to do it all again. What a screwed up system. But then again, it happened in Johnson county, Kansas too. Guy runs over a guy walking along Ward Parkway and he leaves the scene and gets basically a year in jail.

When will a life mean something?????
