Beautiful!.
My grandmother was killed in a car crash when my mom was 9!. The drunk driver got only 6 months!. It's such a shame that a life was lost, an entire family was destroyed, yet he got that light sentence!.

My nieces were killed in an auto collision--hit head-on by a drunk driver who crossed the median!. He also died!. My brother-in-law suffered a heart attack from which he never recovered and died shortly thereafter!.
Where is justice!?
