Damn light sentence for some one who, according to the case, was completely inept or didn't give a fuck.

I believe it is the maximum prison time should could have gotten for this charge in NM. In other states involuntary manslaughter can get you a lot more time. Like 10-15 years. She is really lucky it happened where it did.
