Nice to see someone taking responsibility for their actions.

If only the police chief's daughter in Scottsdale would do the same.

SENTENCED

71/2 years is enough time for this insane and completely out of control drunk to rejuvinately wise up. Glad she won't be driving again for the reminder of that time. Just another "drunk" or perhaps even a meth head put away and locked up. Suggest removal of this comment

THANK GOODNESS she might get 7 and 1/2 years for hitting and injuring two people in their car after being drunk.

After all, if she'd hit and killed a guy on his bicycle then tried to cover it up, she'd have only gotten 3 years instead.

Oh, wait. She's not illegal, so she wouldn't have been given that kind of sentence. SORRY!

More ignorance from the legally deficient...

"She's not illegal, so she wouldn't have been given that kind of sentence. SORRY!"

Spoken with ignorance again. Conviction and sentencing has nothing to do with illegality. It's the law. If the illegal gets caught doing something wrong, AND IS TRIED, AND CONVICTED, they'll BE SENTENCED like this person. The problem with your thinking is that you're confusing illegals who are arrested but NOT tried, convicted, and sentenced. The whole process needs to be played out. You might wonder why they're not tried, convicted, and sentenced and this question you should pose to the county attorney. Suggest removal of this comment
