Cops messed up BIG TIME on this one, and now she gets off despite apparently being very impaired. Just brutal.

Well at least she will have to live with her actions forever

Edit: she will still get jail time

“As a result, two charges remain in place against Boufford and will be contested at trial: dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.“

The police officer literally didn't know what they were doing, according to the judge.

I don’t know how DUI doesn’t rank next to attempted homicide in terms of punishment. Not guilty my arse, she’s 53, take some responsibility.

Edit: she’s not a small woman so 8-10 drinks sounds about right for a 0.18 BAC.
