5. She WAS the trainer with decades of experience. I call BS. Civilians guilty of similar get more.

Abysmal. She did nothing except try to save herself after the incident. No attempt to help the victim--just calls to her union rep. How can you defend her? I can have empathy, but my sympathy lies with the victim's family who see her given a sentence well UNDER guidelines and less than you or I would have gotten for a similar manslaughter conviction. It is truly an affront to justice.
