In fact, they are not in a position to forgive her, because the only person who was truly wronged is dead and incapable of doing so, or not.

In these types of cases, no one wins. Justice is done here, but everyone loses. Heart breaking. But , the prison sentence speaks loudly that the rule of law, sometimes is all we have after tragedy. She needed to go to jail.

A driver on excessive Ambien & alcohol hit three young teenagers walking beside a busy road in Auburn, CA one night. The whole community suffered !

They should make a law that it's 18 months automatic prison if caught driving drunk (drugs), for the 1 st offense+ the original charges..2nd offense 10 years, 3rd offense, life behind bars!

What a beautiful speech for such a horrible situation. That was powerful.

I can tell this Judge who is a very unique kind person had some very wonderful caring parents who really loved her and instilled the best character traits within her a human being could receive when she was growing up.

This judge has wisdom given to Her by Our Heavenly Father... She showed such compassion and love towards the family and to the person who sadly took the life of a young boy, Brandy Jones also injured (2) others who's life may be impacted for weeks to years to come. This is how our courts should all be run. This judge has my total respect.

Never seen a judge cry before 😢while giving a verdict. This truly makes me rethink my dad's spanking speech," gonna hurt me more than you."

I have nothing but contempt for hit and run drunk drivers who kill - I lost my beloved uncle to a drunk driver he only got 18 months - worse thing was he served less than a year - he should have gotten a longer sentence

She should serve every year that kid could have expected to live. 75 years is about the life expectancy of a male in this country. Tears are not a sufficient penalty for such senslessness. This judge is overly compassionate. Don't look at the defendant, look at the dead kid!

I think you understood little from this video

Very compassionate judge.

It's difficult....watching this Judge crying....this broke her heart....showing that she has one

Drink and drug driving is similar to firing a gun into a group of people…..what a professional judge

Beautiful inside and out, what a lovely judge..

Damn this was sad 😥 Bless all of their families ,🙏

Thats disgusting 50 yrs no parole should have been the sentence...WOW that's pathetic sentencing..

I wonder how many lives could have been saved if the driver called 911 immediately instead of running? This was the defendants 3rd offense. She didn't value the 2 strikes she was given unfortunately.

This did not need to happen. There are numerous options to avoid this disaster but because of that it should be mandatory maximum sentences on all charges.

What an INCREDIBLY wonderful judge. Every member of the judiciary should aspire to this level of judgment, wisdom, and appropriate behavior.

2 phenomenal pieces of advice! This was amazing. The compassion she has shown gives me LIFE. She just made MY life better. Accept, make amends, take responsibility so valuable for both sides of this.

Isn’t it amazing how badly lives can be horribly affected by one person’s bad decision. I’ve always lived my life with the thought of consequences to my actions in mind.

Even the judge feels really bad. I felt her pain

What a great judge!!

It's unfortunate that we live in what we've been taught as "The land of the free and the home of the brave" yet we can't even trust the injustice system. A majority of the comments are praising the judge for doing the job she was sworn in to do, unlike many, many, many others. That speaks volumes. Good to see people who aren't afraid to expose what's really going on in this cruel cruel world we live in. Prayers and condolences to the victims and anyone that's affected by this horrible tragedy. 🙏🏾💪🏾

​@@notboblowski0624 Yah, you have to wonder what 1ST-LAY just said.

My God, Just 10 to 15 years for taking a life driving while under the influence and while she was on parole, she does not deserve any mercy or compassion. If she is in pain, that does not give her the right to inflict the same on others. Because of her, a 14-year-old totally innocent teen lost his whole life. How is this justice any way or form?

She white tho

The way the judge sighed before doing the actual sentence, just shows to me like what a waste of life this kid now has to go through because of her actions.

I just watched a lady that only got 3 years for killing her 3 young sons from drinking and driving.. and she was a repeat offender 😢that’s crazy

The judge in tears and talking as though the criminal is a victim, this was her third offence not a one off. She took a life and deserves all she gets, the compassion for this habitual criminal is sickening. The only victims are the children and their families.

She didn't seem like she was in tears to me... PS if what you have done makes the judge cry, cancel all future plans

This empathetic judge is a credit to the judicial system.

What an amazing person the judge is.

This is not accountability. She gets basically a get out of jail after 12 years if someone feels sorry for her. She is 40 years old and still not being held accountable. If this was a 40 year old man this judge would not have been so compassionate. I am tired of watching women get off on these life sentences when they commit crimes they were fully capable of avoiding. After all these years of DUI's cases I have not seen women be awarded sentencing like men. Miss me with compassion. There should only be compassion for the victim. She basically will serve less time in jail than Lafferty was alive. This is BS.
