Why a lenient jail term in DWI death?

My question relates to “‘Forever broken’ after DWI death” [News, Jan. 27].
Can someone please explain to me how a person gets only one year in jail and five years of probation for second-degree vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving that killed an 81-year-old father, destroying a family?
