freeheels,  in my opinion the girl got the right sentence because of two factors---her age , and the part the victim played in the tragedy.  The DA and judge did the right thing based on the facts. The victim's supporters steadfastly refused to consider all the facts , and only use the ones they thought made the victim look completely innocent. If you KNEW the facts you wouldn't be depressed over what happened . It was a human tragedy  for all involved .
