Would like to find your views of this. A woman in NC was drinking. Hit and killed 4 girls (17 years old) and injured a boy. When it went to court she was given the sentence of 60+ years without the chance for parole. Since she is 30 she will spend the rest of her life in prison. How is this justice when you see people that intentionally kill people get out sooner? How can good come out of this when she will be in prison? Her family is working on an appeal but it scares me thinking of her with hardened criminals.

no pity from me on this, I am a supporter of hard, even life sentence for drinking while driving and killing someone, sorry, if you were looking for support here. I also support minnim 5 years for drinking and driving.

Drinking and getting behind a wheel is like loading a gun and turning the key is like pulling the trigger
