"PEKIN, Ill. (WMBD) — A woman was sentenced to 14 years in prison in connection with a drunk driving crash that killed two people last year.
Tazewell County Judge Tim Cusack said he didn’t believe his sentence for Stephanie Melgoza would make anyone happy but he did say it believed it was the most just. He also implored the packed second-floor courtroom to remember the names of the victims.
“What does my sentence to prison do if no one remembers their names? We need to get the word out," the judge said."
