She was convicted of two counts of negligence causing death and two counts of dangerous driving causing death which was upheld on appeal. The sentence was relatively light considering the seriousness of the charges - 90 days in jail on weekends, 3 years probation, 240 hours community service, and 10 year driving ban.

That's an amazingly severe sentence for a driver actually, no driver who isn't drunk would ever get even a tiny fraction of that sentence for running down and killing a group of pedestrians in a crosswalk with the right of way.
It is interesting that a driver gets that sentence for stopping...
It's not to say those charges don't apply...just interesting that killing someone by driving never gets that charge, only by NOT driving.
