Small comfort I know.
Thanks for that, Noel. We've been researching on the net and the average sentences being meeted out for causing death whilst driving over the legal limit of alcohol seem to be about 18 months. The police reckon she'll get at least 6 months. The period inside doesn't really bother me, Noel, so long as she does get jail. What concerns us is if she gets off with a fine and loss of licence..... which isn't unheard of. At least if she gets jail, she'll lose her job and have more trouble getting another one when she gets out - then her stupidity will have ruined her own life as well as ours. [V]
