Family's outrage after drunk hit-and-run driver is sentenced to just 120 DAYS in prison for killing man who lost wife and daughter in similar incident

A drunk driver who killed a 57-year-old motorcyclist when he sped through a red light last year will only have to spend 120 days in prison - a light sentence that has infuriated the victim's already heartbroken family.
Ronald O'Kelly, 25, plead guilty to charges of involuntary vehicular manslaughter due to intoxication and fleeing the scene on Friday, in connection with the tragic April 2013 accident that killed Kansas City man Leroy 'Buddy' Bronson.
Bronson's death was the third in a family plagued by drunk driving accidents. Three years ago, Bronson's wife Diane and his 11-year-old daughter Anna were killed when a drunk driver going the wrong way on the freeway smashed into their white Ford Explorer.
Drunk drivers should have the books thrown at them.

What the woman did was stupid, but life in prison is overkill.
