No matter what prison time the judge sentences her for, she’ll be out in seven years (or less) for good behavior.
She would do even less time if she were in the Screen Actors Guild.
Meanwhile, we will continue to read the paper or watch the evening news about similar stories of accident related D.U.I.s around the country.
Sadly, it will never stop….
One charged with DUI in I-57 crash that killed one, ejected child

SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE
A woman was charged with drunken driving when the car she was in crashed on Interstate 57, killing another woman and causing a 9-year-old girl to be ejected from the car on the Far South Side.
Yvonne Kemp, 28, of Chicago, was charged with DUI and other charges are pending early Thursday, according to ISP District Chicago Trooper Mark Hall.
About 10:15 p.m. Tuesday, a Ford Escort was northbound in the left lane on Interstate 57 near South Halsted Street when, for unknown reasons, the female driver — identified by Hall as Kemp — lost control and crossed the center and right lanes, Illinois State Police District Chicago Master Sgt. Joe Stangl said.
She drove off the right embankment and into a light pole — causing it to break at the base and land on the car, causing the car’s roof to cave in, Stangl said.
Katrina Jackson, who was a front-seat passenger in the Escort, was killed, according to Stangl.
A woman in her 30s was transported to Little Company of Mary Hospital and Health Care Centers in Evergreen Park where she was pronounced dead at 10:24 p.m., according to a spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
An autopsy Wednesday determined she died of multiple injuries from an auto striking a fixed object and the death was ruled an accident, according to the medical examiner’s office.
A 9-year-old girl who was sitting in the back of the car was ejected and landed on the grass where the light pole fell on top of her, he said. She and the woman driving the car were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with “non-life threatening” injuries, Stangl said.
As of early Thursday, ISP did not have updated information on their conditions.
All three passengers were reportedly wearing seat belts, according ISP District Chicago Sgt. Jason Lococo.
The driver is reportedly the mother of the 9-year-old, Stangl said. He did not immediately know the relation of the driver and Jackson.
During the investigation, an intoxicated motorist attempted to pass the accident scene and was arrested for violating Scott’s Law, ISP District Chicago Trooper Ivan Bukaczyk said.
Scott’s Law increases the penalties for drivers who don’t yield to emergency vehicles.
Hall did not have that motorist’s name as of early Thursday.
State Police are investigating.
