I don't know what the answer is, this is too lenient:

I'd think, there would be charges of vehicular manslaughter; What in the world?

People need to owe up to these things too, not try to get away with it.

"Wirta, 56, who police said had a blood-alcohol content well above the legal limit, was arraigned on two counts of driving while intoxicated and freed on $5,000 bail.

The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum sentence of 12 months behind bars."

This is way too lenient I agree. His own lawyer expected him to get a harsher punishment. What does that say about the law itself?
