Yes it is justice. Justice is what other people decides is right and wrong. I think 5 years sentence (2½ behind bars) is a stern punishment and just. What if the person was a vagabond with no family? Should that give a few years lesser in jail because he was a good-for-nothing bum with no family? And killing a father of 6 children 12½ years in jail, because this victim had a family to support?
Then you start punishing people for being lucky or unlucky. Lucky when they kill a bum, unlucky when they kill a family father. Thats hardly justice either, is it? Nothing can replace a dead person, but what exactly is the purpose of locking a man away for life because he ran over another man by accident?
