I think that this nineteen year old young woman should be punished; but not to the extent where she spends five years in prison. She should do one year and the other four years, she should spend on probation advocating for drivers who text and drive to stop. She could back up her plea with a credible testimony of her spending one year in jail. This young lady is a model citizen not a hard core criminal. She was just caught up in the negative side of technology improving. After being deprived of her normal life for a year,   that would be enough to scare her straight.
