my 21 year old daughter is in prison for 10 years for killing her friend when she crashed while she was drunk driving. Her friend was in the passenger front seat. She was drinking too so if she had driven it could have been the other way around
We received an visit from her friends parents who are still angry at us and say that a ten year sentence is too light and it should be longer
Obviously, I have no defense for what she did. She did a terrible thing and ruined her life and is paying for it but ten years seems like a lengthy sentence
First off. I am so sorry that you are going through this. That has to be harder than I could ever imagine.
Secondly, unfortunately, I agree with the law on this one. It is NEVER ok to drink and drive and if you do, and you hurt or kill someone, then you suffer the consequences. Sadly, that means prison and for your daughter, 10 years. Without knowing all of the circumstances, I would say that is a pretty fair judgement for such reckless behavior that resulted in taking a life.
As far as what the victim's family thinks, that is irrelevant. They should not be harassing you or "visiting" you and making you feel worse than you already do. Your daughter is doing her time and there is nothing that they can do to change it, so why bother you and make you feel worse about it? That sounds terrible!
Again, so sorry that you are going through this. Best of luck and I hope it gets easier for you!
