Vehicular Homicide sentence

Congratulations to Latasha Wassom and Jared Effler, Assistant DA's in Claiborne County and Troopers Jim Lee and Charles Massengill for outstanding work in the tragic case of State v Amber Williams. Williams was on probation for DUI, when she drove with alcohol, trazodone (anti-depressant) and Alprazolam (anxiety)in her system. She left Tiprell Road and crashed into a tree killing two passengers. Williams recieved a ten year sentence.
Alcohol and prescription medicines exxaberate the effects of each other. People taking prescriptions must be extremely careful about decisions to drive even without alcohol. The decision should be easy if alcohol is added to the mix. It is a deadly combination.
