 A Texas woman was just sentenced for the 2023 DUI crash that took the life of a college student, and left another with a traumatic brain injury.

 The judge added a controversial stipulation upon her release. We are very interested to hear your thoughts on this sentence.

In September of 2023, Lynlee Pollis was traveling 67 mph in a 35 mph zone when she blew through a red light and plowed into a vehicle. 

That vehicle was driven by 19-year-old Honor Elizabeth Wallace with Catherine Solberg in her passenger seat. Honor did not survive the accident, and Catherine was seriously injured. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and a broken collarbone. Honor was a student at Southern Methodist University at the time of her passing. 

Pollis had a broken ankle and a knot on her head. 

Pollis also had her husky puppy, named Tequila, in her vehicle during the wreck. Tequila did survive. 

Hours after the accident, Pollis had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.294, which is nearly four times the legal limit. 

Despite substantial evidence, Pollis decided to fight the charges of  intoxication manslaughter and intoxication assault.

Now, three years after that fateful day, Lynlee had her day in court and was found guilty of the intoxication manslaughter and also intoxication assault.

The fact that Lynlee made the victim's families sit through her trial to ensure their loved one received justice was a subject they were vocal about during impact statements. Catherine's father stated, "You were so drunk and you wouldn't admit it. You made us all sit through this trial for three weeks."

Honor's father shared similar sentiments calling Lynlee "selfish".

When the trial was over and the jury returned the guilty verdict, Judge Balido handed down a sentence that will ensure Lynlee Pollis remembers her victims and their families. 

Judge Balido handed down a seven year prison sentence. However, following her release, Lynlee will serve 10 years of probation with a serious stipulation. 

Lynlee will have to serve 15 days in jail every single year of her probation. To be clear, this is after she's released from her 7 year prison sentence. Now, the 15 days are not random, but rather, very specific and special dates. 

She will serve 3 days around both of the victim's birthdays. She will serve three days surrounding her own birthday. She will serve three days surrounding Christmas. She will also serve three days surrounding the anniversary of the accident. 

What do you think? Is this sentence appropriate? Do you think it shouldn't be so harsh or is it not harsh enough? Should it be used more frequently?
