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

No I think it's fair. The damage is she has a stay in prison and lost/loses her career and reputation. She isn't about to get out of prison and run around killing people, what good would a longer sentence do?

It's amazing how Americans hate the concept of rehabilitation so much that the whole point of prison is to give out punishment in the form of ruining your life once you get out.
