It infuriates me.
Damn...
would they do anything if anything else happens like that again because that is ridiculous.
yes...repeated or multiple convictions carry heavier penalties,
but it is maddening that the way the law presently sits,
this woman, if convicted of responsibility for all four deaths in one incident,
could serve those sentences CONCURRENTLY rather than CONSECUTIVELY.
She could conceivably be out in as little as four to six years, if this is her first offense,
even though that first offense ended four lives.
It's disgusting.
