Pretty harsh.

You get criminals in innercitys willingly committing violent crimes and seem to get off lighter than her.
That's likely in cases in which no one was seriously hurt. Here, someone died. You could also look at it as, when someone dies, a person being held responsible usually gets a lot longer than only 18 months.

That said, she did get the maximum allowed, so it is a harsh sentence in that respect. Apparently, the prosecution argued that she didn't show remorse, which would do it.

Hard to argue that she wasn’t criminally reckless, in a position where she was responsible for the lives of other people. IMO the sentence was more than fair, she still has the rest of her life to look forward to when she gets out.

Trial sounded like a bit of a circus. Defense didn’t help their case when one of the defendants was trying to demonstrate to investigators how they kept the blank rounds safely separated from live ones, and the container he opened turned out to have live rounds mixed in. I also believe an expert witness called by the defense, unbelievably, pointed a gun at the judge during his testimony.

I’ll be interested to see how the rest of the case plays out.
