Yeah this is just sad. She was obviously remorseful and it sounded like she had been working hard to stay sober since the accident. Addiction is a disease and while that doesn't excuse what happened it is still a shitty situation. Personally I think this sentence is excessive. Like I said, she is remorseful and is taking steps to work on her addiction and stay sober. I guess we don't know if this was her first dui or one of many but I just don't really see how society is helped by locking someone like this up for 10 years. I would rather see her loose her license, be forced to participate in lengthy drug and alcohol rehabilitation and do some kind of community service that involves sharing her story to others that struggle with addiction so that they don't make the same mistakes she did. Is she really that much of a danger to society that we need to lock her up for 10 years? It costs on average $36k a year to house a prisoner. I would rather we lock up people who are not remorseful and seem like they are likely to re offend. If she had a lengthy history of DUIs then yeah this would make more sense. I could see a year or 2 but seriously what good is this going to to do anyone to lock this women up for 10 years. Who benefits? I think that time would better be spent doing community service and getting treatment so this doesn't happen again. Although money can never replace the loss of a loved one but I could also see her having to give a portion of her paycheck to the fiance. It's a shitty situation but I think jail should be reserved for people who show no remorse and are actually a threat to society. It should be used to rehabilitate and protect the public not to just to punish.

You don't think 10.5 years is a little excessive? Who benefits from this? It costs on average $36k a year to house an inmate. What she did was wild, stupid and did result in the loss of a human life. But she obviously seemed remorseful. I agree that she should be paying the family although money can never replace the loss of a loved one. But I would much rather see her in drug and alcohol treatment and doing community service that involves sharing her story so that people don't make the same mistakes she did. If she had a history of repeated DUIs then I would be more inclined to agree as then it would demonstrate that she is a threat to society and might not change but modern medicine tells us that addiction is a disease. That's doesn't completely excuse what she did but she needs treatment. She should also lose her license. I believe that jail should be used for rehabilitation and to protect the public. Unfortunately evidence shows that very little rehabilitation is done there and we mostly use jail as a punishment. Drug and alcohol treatment in prison is a joke. I'm not saying that she shouldn't have to do anytime behind bars but who will benefit from her doing 10 years? I also disagree that she is a "total fuck up". Yes she fucked up and did a horrible thing but that doesn't mean that she is beyond redemption. Her life doesn't have to be defined by this one horrible, stupid mistake. It's a shitty situation for everyone involved but this to me is not justice.

No I haven't lost a loved one to a drunk driving accident but I have been a first responder and no I wouldn't change my tune especially if they were remorseful. I am not a vengeful person. I don't believe in hurting someone just because they hurt me. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. If they were genuinely remorseful then having to live with what they have done is it's own punishment. The primary purpose of jail is not to punish it's to protect the public and rehabilitate and as most people know, jails do a very poor job of rehabilitating.

The world would be a much better place if people could learn to forgive each other. Obviously if they person is not remorseful it's a different story as it shows that they don't really value human life and thus would be a continued threat to the public. Our jails are cruel and inhumane places and should only be reserved for people who threaten human life and society not to exact vengeance. It's not an easy thing to to forgive someone who has hurt you but it can be so unbelievably rewarding.
