She already got lucky with getting ONLY two and a half, which she'll never do anyway.

And now this...

Hows about, if she loses, she gets her sentence doubled..

Bitch.

I agree, too short term. System is too soft.

What's wrong with this world today, people can't take responsability for their actions? It's always, "It wasn't me", "I didn't do it", or "I did, BUT...". Suck it up girl, you fucked up, now accept your punishment and do better from now on.

Maybe we'll get lucky and a drunk driver will hit her.

Such BS. 2.5 years isn't enough to begin with. I really do despise our justice system sometimes.

The woman cannot argue that she was piss drunk and driving at a high rate of speed. In doing so she cost a life. The sentence of 2.5 years was a travesty. The fact that she can even ask for a retrial because she was detained in her car or that the vehicle was sold for scrap should be moot. The vehicle wasn't the problem the driver was. The driver that was so far over the legal limit she couldn't prove she was even below .08 when she decided to get in the damn thing.

As a result of cases like this a person that drives for a living be it to work or for work can suffer a greater loss then this woman at the hands of a constable on the side of the road.

In Beautiful BC, judges seem to take perverse pleasure in screwing over the Police Departments and Crown Prosecutors with very very very broad interpretations of the Charter as an excuse to dismiss fekin near everything that crosses their desk.

So in this case I can see some bleeding heart judge saying, welllllll, you were pissed as a pig and killed a child with your car........................... but.

I hope I'm wrong and they double her sentence but I won't hold my breath.

Berner provided two breath samples three hours after the crash, which showed blood alcohol levels of .06 and .04 -- both below the legal impairment level of .08.

I am at a loss to what you are trying to show me. Would I be correct to assume your agreeing with me? Three hours later she was still .06 So she was extremely slammed at the scene and when she made the mistake of getting into that vehicle

Nope. I'm trying to show you that they can't prove she was over the limit. You have to blow over .08, and they usually give it a couple of hours before you blow, AFAIK.

Drunk or not, she deserves a stiffer sentence - she was going speeding and drove off the road.
