Before we get the torches and pitchforks out, has anyone actually verified the govonors story as to exactly why the sentence was commuted?
I know nothing about Missouri DWI convictions and incarceration, but I did find that if you are convicted of killing someone by drunk driving, Missouri is one of the more lenient states in the entire US per minimum and maximum time allowed by state law.
All things considered, I have little doubt as sad as the story is, the family is being well taken care of by the Hunt family vs if someone else would have hit them monetarily wise to take care of the little girl injured. I'm not condoning drunk driving, but your own state has guidlines per length of sentence.
