What bothers me most is that not only was she drunk, she was evading police when the accident occurred. In other words, she knew she was wrong or she would've pulled over.
I don't think she was running from the cops, however, I do think the sentence is light due to the fact that nobody can say they haven't been informed of drunk driving consequences.
It was not an accident, it may not have been intentional, but it was no accident.
In my younger years, I got to blitz to drive, I knew it, 0.25 is very toasted, boardering on passing out/detox admission. She probably could barely walk, unless she was a religious alcoholic.
To highlight my opinion on this one, I disagree with the 0.8 as the legal intoxication limit, I do think it should be higher, perhaps around 0.13 or so. This is double what I'd argue as legally intoxicated.
10 years minimum is my request.
