Relatives of a woman who was killed in a fatal DWI incident are crying foul. The driver, who is a wealthy CEO & founder of a software company, was given just 15 days in jail for killing a woman while he was driving drunk. Testing showed that the culprit's blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. According to The New York Daily News, George Anderson was initially charged with vehicular manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. However, he was allowed to plead guilty to misdemeanor DWI and leaving the scene of an accident.
The victim's relatives are calling this a case of "rich man's justice." The New York Daily News quoted the deceased woman's sister as saying: "When the district attorney starts sounding like a defense attorney to justify the deal, you can be sure the deal is a bad one for my sister and the people of this state."
