Ashley Townsend, a college student who ran a red light in 2004 and killed two girls as they crossed the street with their mother, has pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and was booked into the Orange County Jail One of her attorneys, Bill Barnett, would not comment.Tuesday evening, records show. Court records show the 23-year-old woman was booked into jail about 6 p.m. Tuesday and the Florida Highway Patrol was the arresting agency.
<snip>
She was ordered to serve 30 days in the Orange County Jail without the chance of work release. After she is released from jail, she will then be on seven years' supervised probation with the Department of Corrections, which can be transferred to Leon County. She also must serve 500 hours of community service, completing 10 hours per month by speaking to young drivers about safe driving. Her drivers license was revoked for three years Witnesses and authorities said Townsend ran a red light at Goldenrod and Bates roads and struck Anjelica Velez, 5, and Victoria Velez, 2, while they were crossing the street with their mother on Oct. 27, 2004.

If someone is going to tell me that this is a duplicate, they'd better post a link to the existing thread with the exact same title. Otherwise, don't waste my time.

Link doesn't work.
I have a five year old and a two year old. If some stupid teenager ran them over, I would tear her head off and go to jail myself.
Thirty days for murdering two babies? WTF?

I can't get over this. I read a story today already about a pitbull owner who received 3 years because her dog killed an elderly woman. This lady kills two baby girls and gets 30 days.

She should just thank her "lucky stars" every day that she didn't hit and kill a dog instead!
They would have thrown the book at her!

Sad, but true! I'm stunned by this ruling.

Florida shyster and crooked judges at work. Nothing to see here. Just move along,
The perp would have absolutely gotten much, MUCH more time if she had killed a puppy.

And she's not bad looking either. Pretty people tend to get less severe sentences.

Here's the byline for this photo:

I guess it was either a hit-and-run, or charges weren't filed for six months.
