She deserves 3 life sentences.
What she deserves, and what the law allows her to be sentenced are two different things. Blame your politicians for the penalties associated with these crimes, and the voters who voted for these politicians. Judges have sentencing guidelines per law.
She got a life sentence. Living with what she did for the rest of her life
@@southlondon2051I’d say so. It’s not something I wish on anyone.
@@moongoddess8568 me neither. This will haunt her for as long as she lives. As you say I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
@@southlondon2051I don't believe that anyone WANTS to be a drug addict. I truly don't. However people DO get addicted wether it's from nefarious friendships or through prescription drugs after surgery. I really don't think Anyone would want THAT ! Having said that, this woman will HAVE to live with Herself AND Without her children for the REST OF HER LIFE ! That's a Punishment she will NEVER be able to escape. I don't think more year's in prison will make her regret it anymore than she already is ! I wish her well and for her to Stay Sober every day for the rest of HER Life. RIP little ones.
3 misdemeanors???! And now she’s going to be able to get out of prison and still be young enough to have more children. This is horrible.
She has to carry that for the rest of her life. I don't envy her. She will forever be in a prison of her own that she can never get out. The only way is to end her life, I will not be surprised if she does.
White women privilege
Hopefully, she'll be too ashamed to have more children...
But she's crying.
She should have gotten off with time served.
And a pizza
Piss off.
3-5 years for a repeat offender that killed her 3 children?!?!! Are you joking?!?
She makes me sick🤬
The court should take those 3 children away from her in the first place.
She stops sobbing real quick when she finds out she gets a slap on the wrist. All that crying was a bid for leniency and apparently it worked. I hate when parents' negligence leads to children's deaths and the dumb parent barely get punished.
Sick, isn't it? She'll do it again.
Pussycat pass.
She deserves three life sentences without parole.
It’s obvious, that the lives of these boys had so little value. The justice system, did NOT give justice to these kids.😢
At least 25 years , and not one day off !!
I wonder how many people agree with you, and yet vehemently defend Abortion of Children every day, defending The Mothers “right to choose”. Abortions done with intent, while sober.. 🤔
@@36742650885Take your argument elsewhere. This is a totally different discussion. Stay on topic if you're capable..
Vehicular manslaughter is a misdemeanor??? How is that possible?
We dont care about children in this country, They are trafficked, sexual abused, abortion is legal up to late term, trans gender scam, foster system scam, schools a a sham, We show as a society more and more we dont care.
Guess the Judge didn't think the boys lives were worth much at all. What an absolute shame. Better sentence would be prison for the rest of her life.
Don’t blame the judge blame the voters and the politicians who enact the laws. Judges have to work with term limits on sentences per law.
The judge only hands down the sentences allowed by the laws that the government passes. Blame them.
@@kennyg9091Yet the mother of a little girl who drowned in the bathtub got a sentence of up to 15 years . Both cases from Holland , I ask myself why a mother who caused the death’s of her 3 little boys while high on drugs got sentenced to way less time. She should have gotten 15 years for each child .
@@Nadezhda1932Ask the judge!!
I am stunned.
That's ridiculous! Her tears cleared up after she learned she gets 2-5years. She's a repeat offender. These folks/judicial systems are crazy.
You noticed that too. I doubt she'll serve even 2. She sure dried up real quick like she was ready to climb into her bunk, knowing she just got off of what was really a homicide in my opinion. She'll get out with no kids to get in the way of partying like she was before. Heck, she can do it all over again.
I guess she wasn't grieving anymore.
If you zoom in on her face at the beginning... you can see that she's trying to build up those fake tears.... I'm sure her lawyers told her to be sure to cry.... them lawyers need to be in prison, for defending the OBVIOUSLY guilty.
Yes ! I knew she was fake crying from the beginning but I didn’t expect her to stop immediately after being sentenced with s slap on the wrist.
@@timkeller3907 Well everyone is entitled to a fair trial , thank god. Otherwise many (more) innocent people would be railroaded into the system
Throw this judge off the bench for that rotten sentence! She should've gotten LIFE!
And don't forget the DA for the plea
Life is a bit much, let's not go overboard; it wasn't planned. Let's compromise at 30 years. Seriously, life should be reserved for the worst intentional crimes. A life sentence is worse than a death sentence in my opinion, so it should be for the worst criminals. But I do think a car is a dangerous weapon and one was used in this homicide and is no different than had she shot someone after taking the methadone. I don't see how that judge can sleep at night and hope the voters will take note of this next time his renewal comes up. Pay attention to who your judges are. Not all of them are appointed; they are elected and can be un-elected.
@@floridaredneckshe planned on getting high it was premeditated she knew she knew she knew she should get the death penalty she had children removed from her care before because of drug use she knew
She had 2 children taken away from her and then killed 3! Unbelievable!!!
Yep. Unfortunately she will have more children eventually.
Poor kids
Gold plated V-card with the judge's name on it.
Why is it that the drunk driver kills people but they never die
@@jodiforeman3314 I always wonder that as well!
And she’ll be out to breed again 😢
My gosh! 2-5 years for getting high and killing three children.
That just breaks my heart for those children and the people who love them.
I doubt they can punish her more than the hell she is in already.
im sure when she gets out, she'll make 3 more kids
& probably with credit of time served. Eligible for parole in 1-2 years. Doubt she’ll get it then, and probably serve the full time sentence.
@@audenharper3014 then get on welfare
This young lady is already punishing herself. Prayers for this family to heal. Prayers that this young lady receives the Lord into her heart and make her strong again.
Are you kidding me? That light of a sentence?? What a joke. She deserves 3 murder charges.
Exactly just sad 😔 😢
The judge has no balls she should never leave the jail what a joke
I always thought, "Does this person have to kill someone before sentences get tougher?" In this case, she murdered THREE innocent children after a HISTORY of offenses. How does our justice system sleep at night? There should be a MASSIVE public outrage to this sentence!
Had this been a mother of 3black children and not the first offense she would have gotten 15 to life eligible for parole after serving 18 years! I think the system is broken and flawed…… that’s ridiculous REST IN PEACE LITTLE ONES
@@LM-bt7sgThe system is not flawed. The flaw is the liberal prosecutors and judges and the black people who keep voting for them because they think they have their backs.
I 100% agree with you. Our laws on DWI cases must be overhauled.
We have the same shit in the UK. Some time back a kid with over 100 previous convictions for car related thefts passed 18 but still got community service. You cant make it up. At his last hearing the judge said he didnt need the clerk to read them ALL out.
@@zezezosezadafrak8210 The system is flawed, and it is not just the US. All prosecutors and judges are not the same, and if your going to speak on "Black Peoples" behalf speak facts, to be honest a lot of black people don't even know who they're voting for in terms of legislation they just go by the popular vote, and those of that do, prefer someone who will "crack down on crime", If I may, because we live in such an injustice society.
She only got 3 years for killing her children??! I'm sorry she deserves more. As the judge said this was not a first-time offense with drugs and her kids
2-5 YEARS
@@cheryl5994Which means she’ll serve 2, if not less.
Don’t blame the judges for the sentences. They are term limits by law in each state. Blame the politicians, who passed the laws and the penalties associated with those very same laws, and the voters who voted for these politicians in the first place.
I actually had to come to the comment section to see if I heard right.
Holy shit.
If she would have hit that judges car, & killed his three kids, she would be life w/o parole.
Oh she got a life sentence trust me
That sentence is a joke. Imagine what the sentence would have been if it was a first-time thing and she didn't have the drug abuse history. What a shame.
Liberal judges at work!!
You mean: What a sham
TOTAL MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.
SHU t UP DO THINGS UTILITY AND IT'S NONE YOUR BUSINESS FOR THIS MAAM IN HARDSHIP
It is a blue state. Liberal sentences, catch and release, defund the Police and so on. She will be home in a couple years.
WHAT!?! 😮
@@lydialilybellevalley2297are you ok? Do you know how to read and write?
She should of gotten 3 life sentences
Wow, a slap on the wrist. She should have gotten minimal 20 years for each child she killed! This is just sickening.
You're absolutely right, Sentencing was a joke you notice how she stopped crying when she found out. That she'll hardly do any time. Get out and have more kids she's pathetic.
michigan is highly democrat favoring and they vote these scumbag officials into office that give lenient sentences. there was recently a man who killed someone elses child in a dui and got 1 year sentence for it. until they get off the republican hating bandwagon, and get both sides of the story politically, michigan will continue to give felons lesser charges. my evidence of this is jussie smollette in chicago facing 7 counts of felony hate crime falsifications and Kim Foxx state prosecutor releasing him completely scott free dismissed the case because racism. chicago and detroit are the crossfire of their false balance of socialism. children are murdered every day because democrat policy is out of control and perpetuates the prolong holding of office positions for democrats by creating the problems they claim to be against.
She got life! Never going to forgive herself
I believe her apology is sincere.
The judicial system thinks a slap on the wrist is sufficient for her taking the lives of three children for her on gratification for the drugs is absolutely appalling.
I agree. She loved drugs more than she loved those boys. I was shocked when she called it "an accident". She had multiple occasions to stop, cry out for help and turn things around. What also shocked me is how she stopped sniffing and crying as soon as she heard the light sentence pronounced. Appalling.
100% agree. Incredible !
@@kalitheamarewe all know someone on drugs or something and they are just as prone to doing this as she had.. just exactly with like prescription meds too
It was an accident. She was on methadone. She was trying to get off opiates. That's what methadone is for.
@kalitheamare you guys don't get it. When you are addicted to drugs it doesn't mean you love drugs more than your kids. You love your kids more but you can't function daily without the drugs. You do it to maintain.
She killed 3 children and in about 5 years she'll be out of jail doing drugs and driving around again. This must be the social justice I keep hearing about and some law abiding citizens wonder why crime is running rampant now.
2-5 YEARS, IS THAT ALL HER BOYS WERE WORTH JUDGE, SERIOUSLY!
THAT’S GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST SADDEST SENTENCES EVER,
THAT’S SO UNJUST, I WISH THERE WAS SOMEONE THERE TO TALK FOR THE BOYS
& EXPLAIN HOW MUCH THEIR LIVES MATTERED. HOW DID THE JUDGE EVEN COME TO SUCH A CONCLUSION WHEN HE’S TELLING HER HOW MUCH OF A PATTERN HER BEHAVIOUR WAS PUTTING HER KIDS LIVES SECOND TO HER OWN & HE GIVES HER SUCH A PALTRY SENTENCE. NO JUSTICE FOR HER BOYS.
You are aware that there are sentence and guidelines in each state that judges have to adhere to. Don’t blame the judges for laws that are passed by the politicians and the penalties associated with those crimes. you can even blame the stupid voters who keep voting for his useless politicians.
@@kennyg9091that would mean getting involved to make change. There’s actually a comment asking “where do these judges come from?” Hmmmm maybe its me, but I know how they get on the bench in my state.
It’s the politicians! Stupid laws that serve the criminals!
@@kennyg9091yes that's true BUUUUTTTTT the judges have the discretion to go outside of the guidelines and this is one case that he DEFINITELY should have done that on.
Hopefully losing her 3 children will be a lifetime sentence for her…..
Absolutely ridiculous, she killed her children, omg. These people are out of their minds. She deserves to serve life for her choices.
Thats why the people there dont trust the justice system because of this.😢
Did she willingly kill them ?
Or at least 10 to start
@@Nique_Nifty 10 years? Should be a mandatory 20-year jail sentence and a 2-million fine to teach herr a lesson.
@@Nique_Nifty 2nd of all, whether or not a woman is from a western country or not, that should be a mandatory sentence.
That was a ridiculously light sentence for killing 3 people especially your own children
I believe it's called the pussycat pass.
It’s the USA- children don’t matter as much as a fetus. It’s just how they are. Look at how they shit them up in school. A little driving under an influence is just a bit of a bummer. Like rape there.
Yep. It is a blue state. Liberal sentences, catch and release, defund the Police and so on. She will be home in a couple years.
What an injustice to those three children! That light sentence is outrageous and unjust! God blessings to those three angels in heaven.
She's crying through her noise, no real tears for those precious babies! She stopped crying after hearing her short sentence. That judge is sickening and gave her a slap on the wrist !
She’s doing the Jodi Arias cry 😭 through her nose 👃 not one tear coming from her eyes. Disgusting 😡
Said the same thing!
she was pissed that he even gave her sentence guess she thought maybe few months, but three years yeah she was pissed you could tell@@tricespiecesstyled
That's exactly what I noticed that she stopped crying when she heard her sentencing was hardly anything. She's a pathetic loser and I have no sympathy whatsoever. Her sentencing was a slap in the face. Sickening. The sad part is she'll be out and have more kids.

What??? 24 months for ending her three boys because she was high??? She has a history too. Shame on the judge for cheating her boys and those that loved them out of justice 🤬🤬🤬
It’s the way the laws are for what she was charged with, nothing to do with the judge.

This judge needs to be put in prison & the DA for this ridiculous plea deal of dropping vehicular homicide to a misdemeanor. She murdered three children. That is vehicular homicide. Our judicial system is broken. It protects the criminals, and does nothing for the poor innocent victims that these drunk drivers murder.
I really can’t believe this sentence when 3 innocent lives were lost. I am devastated for the loved ones of these boys I truly hope this woman takes advantage of the gift she was given and turns her life around.
As a mother myself, if I had even hurt my child because I was under the influence I would not beg for mercy. I would humbly take whatever sentence the judge granted, knowing I deserve it!
That's what you say now.
You absolutely would beg for mercy and I wouldn’t blame you one bit.
🧢
I agree. I'll consider my life over!
Even ppl who intentionally murder plead not guilty, hoping they won't get life without parole.
She called it an accident. An incident that wouldn’t have happened had she not been high.
"JUST an accident"
saying its an accident denies responsiblity
I don't believe it was an accident. She was doing drugs and her sentencing was a Joke She's a very selfish person. She'll get out and have more kids which will be sad.
Concurrent sentences should be abolished! All sentences should run consecutive!
Agreed. Might as well not convict, result is the same.
Wow, she should have received a life sentence for killing her kids. You know she will continue the use of drugs once she is released. Yet another sad day in the American judicial system. Crime is rampant in this country because punishment is soft and nobody is held accountable anymore for their actions.
365 days is not Justice for 3 little lives taken. She murdered her children by being under the influence of drugs. To me that's Murder.
What only a year???
She received a sentence of 2 to 5 years for each child, but the sentences run concurrently. Don’t blame the judge as he has to abide by the sentence in guidelines per law. Blame the politicians, who passed the laws and the sentences associated with each law. You can also blame the voters who vote for these useless politicians in the first place.
Yes, one year for three lives!!
@@kennyg9091Something tells me that people are not grasping that fact, and continue to want to blame the judge.
She didn't murder her children. She got high, was clearly out of her mind and as a result, her children were killed. She's an addict. That's what they do . Think only about their drugs and the next high. Murder is intent. Reckless endangerment is what's fitting here. She's lost enough. Yes 3 beautiful children died, nothing will bring them back not even a life sentence if that will make some feel better. Not about your feelings. Sentences have guidelines. Judge followed them apparently
This sentence is ridiculous. She took 3 life's and her own sons to top it off!!!
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT SHE DIRNT TAKE ANYONE'S LIVES LEARN THE LAW!
Lives***
@@user-vv3po2wk2b Still dead by her. She wielded a weapon (vehicle) while under the influence. She deserves more for three lives terminated.
3 LIVES, DUMBBELL!!!
@@user-vv3po2wk2b. It was KILLING while committing a FELONY!!!
AS a woman who has cried many times, tears come before the runny nose. I didn’t see her wipe away a single tear. She says she deserves mercy! What a pos. As for the judge, how does he sleep at night?
She's already living a terrible life sentence with the death of her three children.
She certainly was able to get herself out of the vehicle. I would drown getting my kids out! There’s no redeeming qualities in this person. 😢
I would not drive under the influence and not driven into the retention pond ,drugs, and driving dont mix, never have, and all she gets is a slap on the wrists, she learned nothing
She did learn something. She’s clean and sober now.
You didn't give your children mercy..You just thought of yourself you murderer
@@amyfu2047It would be easier to give up, use to try & hide from what happened & the things she must feel. Good on her for being clean & I wish for her to stay off it.
Don't know if America offers free or cheap counselling but be good if she also has that.
Agree with your comment. She saved herself and wasn't worried about getting her kids out. I don't know what was going through her pathetic head. But I would have drowned myself. Trying to get my kids out unbelievable.
How disgusting. She should have gotten life. That judge is a disgrace to the justice system. Three innocent children dead and she will be free in months to live her life. 😮
It wasn’t premeditated, reckless though? Yes
Unbelievable,,,,three kids and she gets to live her life.
It's not the judge's fault.
There are sentencing laws and guidelines for the state that the judge MUST abide by.
A judge can only go by the law as well. It depends on what he can sentence her to. It was stupid and careless, but not premeditated.
She knowingly took a controlled substance, knowingly had her kids in the car, knowingly got behind the wheel of the car. SHE CAUSED THEIR DEMISE. No one else.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS ! THATS ALL SHE GETS !!!? OMG !!!
ABSOLUTE DISGRACE
Dui is a felony !! 3 killing are only misdemeanorS : are you crazy !!!
I’m not trying to dog her but I did notice that the minute she got such a lenient sentence she no longer cried for the boys
I noticed that myself.
She didn't even thank the judge for his mercy. SAD😐
@@PatriciaHorton-qc3lt i was just going to say that. didn't even thank him. i don't even think she was crying just wiping her nose constantly to make it look kind of red . but that's between her and God
Because she wasn't crying for the boys, she was crying for her sorry self.
@@tammyirwin703she was never crying for them. It was for herself
The judge needs to be removed from the bench. She knowingly took a controlled substance, knowingly had her kids in the car, knowingly got behind the wheel of the car. SHE CAUSED THEIR DEMISE. No one else.
It's absolutely pathetic that it was misdemeanors and not felonies. I think the judge was too lenient. But I guess that's what the sentencing is for what she did. Which I don't agree with. She'll be able to get out and having more kids horrible Justice system.

Wow im an addict in recovery and i myself am pissed that she gets to walk out without at minimum 10 full years The judge said this is a habit.

Did she suddenly stopped crying the moment she realized her sentence is not really bad?
Right SMH like o it worked
I noticed that too
That's exactly what I said in my comment. She stopped crying when she heard her sentence was hardly anything. That goes to show how vile and selfish. She is only thinking about herself.
She sure did. It's all about herself in her mind.
Yup all about her
My life wasn't easy raising my son by myself but I sure as hell would have not driven a vehicle while under the influence with my son. There is no excuse! I don't feel sorry for her! She deserves life! Shame on the judge!
How mercy am I like how mercy oh I like. She should not do that I mercy I lost my😊 4:01 😅😅
Never again in my life I’m blessed I was safe and no one died I didn’t crash . I had my two babies my oldest son was at home with my father since he had school the following day and we sleep at 8pm . I had 0.138 alcohol . I was already at my distination I wanted to get Uber or have my father pick us up I parked my car for the reason I couldn’t drive anymore and cops were behind me while I was parked 😔😔 .

Methadone is powerful stuff; much more potent than morphine!
6:41 - "I've lived with survivor's guilt."
But you don't seem too bothered with murderer's guilt.
Talk about PRIVILEGE!!!! A lousy 5 years possible for murder!!
Murder for 3 children. This judge is WRONG!!
I don’t get it! Operating a motor vehicle causing death is a misdemeanor?!! That’s crazy! Not just one death but three and it’s still misdemeanors! This sentence needs to be felonies. He can’t sentence her to a lot of time because they are misdemeanors. The justice system sucks. No justice for these poor young innocent lives.
Because no gun was involved and nothing gets the left virtue signaling like guns
I agree. It’s outrageous!
I agree, misdemeanors is a joke they should all be threefelonies. She got away with it and she knows it. She stopped crying when she found out she'll be out pretty soon.

Started watching this while reading comments, then immediately turned it off 😮 5 years max is disgusting 😮some judges are a DISGRACE

@@Cindy24412 Compassion for a mother that took a dose of methadone and bought another dose from a friend and drove with her 3 babies in the car? No, I don't think so. People that use methadone know full well how long after dosing before they start to nod, it's like clockwork. And that's only after their dose, not including extra ones. She knew full well the danger she put her babies in. It wasn't her first time. She wants to brag that she "rehabbed" for her children but then again she also did her dose and bought and took more doses on top of it so that pretty much shoots down the whole point of "rehabbing".

In mine, she would have gotten the electric chair. And she would deserve it.
The day before my senior year of highschool, my mother along with 3 other mothers were killed by a drunk driver. Three, 21 yr old boys being dumb, shutting off their headlights and running intersections. I let go of my hate for them, because it was consuming my life. I see more hate in here than i ever had for them. I guarantee this mother is living with this pain, more than any length of prison could ever give her. Btw, nobody went to prison over the four mothers that were killed.
Lost both grandparents on my dad's side, years apart, due to alcoholics who drove drunk. I don't hate this woman, or anyone who made a poor decision, but there's value in life. And, until we stand up for that value, this will keep happening. Why, I wonder, was it so important that she get high while driving?
Addicts are selfish that much I know. Been selfish before in my life and paid a hefty price. I guess praying and hoping she gets clean THIS time is all we can do
LIFE UNDER PRISON is the right sentence
This is one of the most despicable cases about the failure of the American judicial system...The Judge presiding over this case should be hanging his head that's *blistered red* by shame!!! How could he EVER justify this shockingly inadequate sentence after this woman was totally responsible for the death of three innocent little boys???
There are term limits on the books.
You know law books.
I don't understand that, either. It's a slap on the wrist.
@@deedeewinfrey3181exactly.
He can only do what the law allows. Blame the politicians who enact the laws, not the judge who has to stay within them.
That's dumb. If she was wealthy, she wouldn't even have gotten 5.
Reading all these comments instead of listening to the judge it just breaks my heart with what she got. Sad thing is she will do it again.
She weighs shoes on my car but it's you and my baby girl is dead

michigan is highly democrat favoring and they vote these scumbag officials into office that give lenient sentences. there was recently a man who killed someone elses child in a dui and got 1 year sentence for it. until they get off the republican hating bandwagon, and get both sides of the story politically, michigan will continue to give felons lesser charges. my evidence of this is jussie smollette in chicago facing 7 counts of felony hate crime falsifications and Kim Foxx state prosecutor releasing him completely scott free dismissed the case because racism. chicago and detroit are the crossfire of their false balance of socialism. children are murdered every day because democrat policy is out of control and perpetuates the prolong holding of office positions for democrats by creating the problems they claim to be against.
She should serve minimum 10 years.
In contrast: Woman sentenced to 23 years in prison after double deadly DUI crash in Orlando.
"As a mother". You gave birth but you were never a mother. A mother protects her child, loves her child, nurtures her child and puts her child first. You chose to put that stuff into your body instead of keeping your babies safe.
Don't ever call yourself a mother.
That sentence is unbelievable.
I don’t understand why someone who harms their children don’t receive the same sentence they would if it were someone else’s child? Unreal! I would have thrown in extra years just for the constant use of that damn tissue!
I was going to say the same thing.. as repulsive as her carefully worded letter to the court.
You're ridiculous and probably a worse person than she is.
What was she supposed to go let snot roll down her face ? Seriously?
You're ridiculous, and you'll be judged accordingly.. Since you think you have the right to judge. Oh trust me. lmao. Your day is coming.
They were someone else's kids.......THE FATHER!
Shouldn't have been any bail on the death of 3 children.
So at this point she lost 2 children because she abused them, and now has killed 3 children?
That judge should be serving a life sentence x3 for turning a murderer loose!😡
Yeah, her sentencing was pathetic. She can get out and have more kids.

The judge needs to be removed from the bench by the state supreme court
It was not premeditated first degree murder. That’s why she didn’t get more time.
Was her actions reckless, irresponsible, and ultimately tragic? Yes.
But we have to look at things on a case by case basis. This one isn’t like the Susan Smith case where she intentionally drove her kids into the lake to kill them purposely
@@RB01.10 She should have gotten 15 years plus longer for being under the influence plus she had kids in the car according to Michigan law.
Wow that is a slap in the face to those kids. How this was charged as a misdemeanour is beyond me. She should have a life sentence. Everyone failed those kids and are continuing to do so.
Edit: Oh please, losing her kids is a life sentence. She clearly didn't care about those kids. Her resolve is strong now, only cost the lives of three children. She'll be out doing drugs and killing someone new in no time. Just disgusting.
Notice how she stopped crying when she heard her sentence. She was only crying for herself. She'll be out having more kids which will be very sad.

People should stop doing drugs
She deserves to see old age in prison, not a misdemeanor sentence for her direct responsibility in the death of her three children
Who in their right mind make killing someone with your car while intoxicated a misdemeanor!!!!
Maybe it's the state she's in. I'm floored by the punishment of this crime. A few years for the lives of 3 little kids. Despicable.
@@JasonShoots Vehicular manslaughter is generally a felony charge not a misdemeanor. I have never even heard of a state treating it as a misdemeanor until I saw this.
@@steelhurricane4041 No doubt it is the state, they probably have a bunch of alcoholic lawmakers in office who covered their butt with making it a misdemeanor if they kill someone!
I have lived in 3 states and this would be a felony charge in all 3 of them.

The Judge was wrong. Shame on him as well. She deserves 36 years at the least.
I came across this and I can’t believe she isn’t going to have to do life without parole. I just watched a video the other day where a 22 yr old man got put in a prison in Alabama for petty theft. This prison is known to have some of the worst ppl in it. He got a yr. Well 20 days before his release a gang was selling him out. He left prison but was sent to a hospital where he died from his injuries, his body was covered in bruises and he was brain dead. He left behind 2 young sons. That witch deserves the treatment that young man got and didn’t deserve 🤬 our justice system is a joke!!
Fake crying, constantly wiping her nose. Stops immediately fake crying and wiping her nose when the judge reads her sentence. She was a lousy, neglectful mother and the loss of 3 boys is worth much more of a prison sentence of 3 years! Disgraceful sentence!
Well said! I was looking for tears, but there were none!

Life sure means NOTHING to these courts. It is infuriating to me!!
You're absolutely right. She got a slap on the wrist and she knows it and she stopped crying. When she heard her sentence, she's only thinking about herself, very selfish person.
It wasn’t “an accident”. It was an intentional act of driving under the influence.
She hsould be banned from driving for life as well
She shouldn’t be able to have any more children… SMH ….
PRISON until she’s FIFTY!!!!

Her tears dried up once she received a timeout from the judge.
you must put on a show then she was pissed he gave her what he did!!
Too right. Looked like crocodile tears!
What an irresponsible mother. She should of got at least 15 years. She's a killer
That was pretty lenient for killing three children.
Prior termination of parental rights and now this? What a light sentence!
She probably did it intentionally. crashed into a retention pond and she didn't drown trying to save them? because she planned it!

I lost my children in a car accident. I know the pain this woman feels. I hope she learns from this. I’m also in recovery. I do not feel that addiction is an excuse for this behavior. She committed vehicular manslaughter. For these charges she should have been facing up to 15 years on each count. The court showed her children were of little value. If she had killed strangers she probably would have gotten a lot more time.
She won't have enough time in jail to learn much
How is it she has no injuries, the children are killed? Plus she gets a slap on the wrist for killing them!
WHAT????? MURDER 3 (THREE) children & that's all their lives are worth? WHY is she alive & they're not? 🤬🤬🤬
I'm sickened by her, the judge and the lawmakers of Michigan. How is it that after all this time, it's still a misdemeanor to KILL someone during an OWI?
Depends whether it was premeditated or not

L I F E!!!!!
People with drug possession get worse sentences.
Agree, she deserves life. Her sentence was a joke.
Agree
The “justice” in the USA is a misnomer. A mistake or accident is just that. However it is still a choice to make a conscious decision to drive under the influence. The prisoner in this case is not the victim. The dead children are the victims. While I feel pity and sorrow for this person they made a choice. Choices should have consequences. Be accountable.

The system totally disgusting this killer received only 2 to 5 years for murder this is insane
That sentence isn't long enough for what she did to them
As someone who is sober 11yrs, my boy went to live with his dad. I put alcohol before everyone and was very sick.
He is 19 today and lives with me, we have a beautiful relationship. He has shown me more grace than l deserve.
I still feel dreadfully guilty for not sending him to school, lying etc. My guilt will never subside, l cannot begin to imagine the life this woman faces. I feel terrible and was a angel compared to her.
I hope she remains sober 😔
I’m glad you stayed sober. Continue to be strong every day.
A bit of well-intentioned advice - you MUST learn to forgive yourself. Do whatever it takes. You DO deserve the grace your son has shown you. Look at what you've accomplished - 11 years of recovery without a relapse, a son who is now getting the relationship he's always deserved, and a bright future ahead of you both. I speak from personal experience, dealing with a daughter who was in an identical situation and both she and her son are now completely different people. Hang in there, dear lady - you have every right to be proud of your accomplishments. I hope the woman in this video can come to terms with her mistakes some day and find peace in her life. It won't be easy.
@@cll1639I'm really glad I came across your comment, and this thread in general. To see grace and humanity being extended here was both humbling and encouraging. We don't see a lot of that, not nearly as often as we should at least. For that I thank you.
You're all the same 💩
The amount of people who are judging her very harshly will never ever understand what addiction is like. We do not mean to make those choices. I have been sober 17 years. But it took me losing my children to get sober. Thankfully my kids were young and I got healthy and got them back
The judges & attorneys need to come down hard on people like her. No wonder the world is crazy. Good is evil & evil is good.

what a joke the judge needs 3 to 5 for even considering such a light sentence for a repeat offender that just killed 3 kids

I'm totally confused....how is killing your 3 children on drugs while driving a misdemeanor? Can someone explain?🤔
Absolute bullshit. But people sitting in there for life for lesser charges and no priors!!! No terminated parental rights of other children etc!!! Just criminal in itself!!!
