They as much to blame so send them down too if we going to nail the guilty parties we want to blame

A tragedy of circumstances unfortunately
Yeah I do agree. It's a tragic set of circumstances and I don't think his actions deserve 5 years. Nor is he the only person to blame. But the law doesn't always work like that (and for good reasons).
It's similar to how I feel when somebody gets sent down for manslaughter when they kill someone with one punch (for instance in terms of a fight in a pub with both throwing punches. Not an unprovoked attack). They could never expect or hope to kill someone by throwing one punch in the midst of a fight but if it leads to someones death then they are responsible for that death.
