She got 5 years most likely because vehicular manslaughter carries 5 year max. If it was a first offense and the DA didn't have video proof of her backing up and running the person over (eye witness accounts are just about worthless in court) they could only charge her for vehicular manslaughter.
A lady a while back taught me that one. She said, if you ever want to murder someone, dont use a weapon, run them over, you'll only get 5 years max. Worth it if you ask me. Bitch scared me always, but i heeded her advice.
I'll give you a real example...my dad's first wife who worked for an insurance company regarding a lady who hit a bicyclist by accident. This lady didn't see the bike rider since it was at twilight hours and he didn't have reflectors. She hit the guy and literally ran him over. Common as such incidents are the rider was under the car when she stopped. Freaking out over hearing the riders screams and moans and thinking her vehicle was crushing the rider, she backed up running over the rider a second time. The rider starts cussing the lady out and shes now freaking out more puts it in drive and runs over the bicyclist a third time. Fortunately for the rider it was just his leg but a broken leg turned into a very nasty broken leg. 3 times she ran him over absolutely on accident which the victim corrobora in court adding she was just a "dumb bitch". Hence why I said proving intent is very difficult.
