I feel very bad for the family and I certainly understand their desire for justice. But, nothing will bring the deceased back. Would putting this woman in jail for one or two years (which I feel is much too short a sentence for vehicular homicide or even manslaughter) make the family feel any better? Maybe a little. I don't know. It sounds callous to say it - but that almost doesn't even seem worth the trouble.
I think if I were in their place I would want this woman locked away for a very, very long time. Would that make me feel any better? Again, I don't know. And it's not something I ever wish to find out. This is just very sad.
