She only got 90 days in jail for killing a man AND she admitted to using her cell phone?!?!
That poor family lost their son, husband, father and the courts basically told them his life was only worth a 90 jail sentence!

90 days in jail and a lifetime knowing you killed multiple people. Having that on you will haunt you for the rest of your life if you are a normal person. If it were me, that would be worse than jail time.
However, this lady has a history of bad driving. At the VERY LEAST, 3 to 5 years probation isn’t enough.
