Three years for a life? Should be 25 at least.

I doubt she will even serve the full 3 years. No it's not long enough.

She's drunk, goes the wrong way and kills a guy - and she get's a three year sentence?? Even 25 years would not be long enough. How could a judge come to that decision??

Disgusting. This is a failure of the criminal justice system. This woman will get out just to repeat this offense.

She will do 6 months then apply to be released on judicial since its her first offense and will be released on probation after that. She'll probably sit for 8 months total
