My opinion, she should have received 50 years; she killed a person and robbed a person of her life with her family and friends; Samantha will never live 50 years but this young woman will. It was not an accident; driving while drunk is not an accident. If the penalty for getting behind the wheel of a vehicle is very harsh, then more people will think at least twice before doing it.

I can't stand it when these defense lawyers know their client is guilty but still comfort and rub their client's back and like they are the victim!!!🙄😬

[@billkeogh639]

I am a criminal defense attorney. Our job is to represent people accused of crimes and provide them guidance and counseling. The fact you hate it when we try to comfort people we work for is completely bizarre to me. This case is a complete tragedy with no winners. 25 years in prison isn't exactly a lenient sentence.

[@70sgirl42]

@billkeogh639 Yes, you are correct, there are no winners, but she still has her life, unlike her victims... I'm sorry, but I don't think she deserves comfort. She didn't make a mistake, she made a choice by getting intoxicated and driving. That's my opinion, like it or leave it.

[@mimiity9585]

@70sgirl42 It doesn’t bother me one bit!! It’s their job and they are getting paid for it! I respect our justice system in the U.S. Everyone has a right to defense counsel. The opposite is way worse. No trials, instant death, torture and/or mutilation in some countries.

Even if it were 10 people, the sentence would be concurrent because it was 0ne incident.

[@adamworden9014]

Judges have to make rulings based on criteria. Im not sure on the laws of her state but she has to weigh mitigating factors and aggravating factors, and the perpetrator had no prior criminal history. It's possible the judge was bound to sentencing guidelines, with no aggravating factors present. She gave her the maximum on the charges. Courts work on precedent, largely, for the goal of fairness. There are probably lots of similar cases the judge looked at, and it would be proper to sentence based on other judges conclusions in those cases.

I was furious when I watched one of her jail calls where she cries to her dad about herself and never mentions the bride or groom, seriously! I couldn't believe it!

[@Sophie-mm7ow]

Yep, she sure is, plus she already received part of the multiple lawsuits that were settled. She said that she deserved to be compensated for the loss of her daughter and that because of the short time they were married, the vows weren't legal. Also that her other son and grandson were entitled to the money as their suffering was worse than the husband's. I don't know the laws where this took place, but in some states the marriage isn't considered legally binding until the marriage license is signed and filed with the Clerk Of Courts which wouldn't have happened yet in this case. It's a bs law, but it does exist, I'm just not sure about this state. Either way, the mother in law is being a 1st class b***h, and is not entitled to the life insurance unless she was listed as the beneficiary. I hope the husband finds the strength to stop her from receiving another penny.
