Default Justice?

The judge denied her request to delay serving her term and she was immediately taken into custody. Although it took more than 2 years to get justice, I wish more crimes were handled that way.
This is a death penalty. While the cyclists were seriously injured and the driver definitely should be punished, she could be sentenced to home confinement. A jail death sentence for a woman that age is not commensurate with the crime.
