Peaches - how exactly did he kill 4 people? You think he flipped his fan on purpose? There is an inherent risk in getting in an automobile accident. I wish I could be witting and pull some statistic on the number of deaths for automobile accidents there are every year... none the less, its an accident. It happens, its sucks...
BTW, lets not forget that the mother could have put on HER belt (or would you expect that he do that for her?)

The law in TN is that you must have all occupants in restraints: Seat belts for anyone over 4, child car seats for anyone under 4 and child restraints for children 4-8 that weigh under 40 pounds (these are also the laws in GA, where he's a resident, but the accident happened in Tennessee).
NO one was belted in in and there weren't even any car seats IN the car for the kids.
The law states that the mother was responsible for herself. The law states that the DRIVER is responsible for themselves and anyone under 15.
He broke the law. Period. Would the kids have lived if they were buckled in? Well, the three in the back that were thrown out of the car died - the three that remained in the car lived, with 2 suffering minor injuries.
I never said he intentially killed his wife and kids - that's why I said "manslaugter". Geeze - if you guys can't see that his breaking the law at the very least contributed to the death of his children, then there's really no point in trying to argue it with you.
