Reflect what? Murder by alcohol and automobile is totally acceptable in this society. But you go out and get yourself loaded and shoot someone and watch the sh't come down from on high on your head.
There was no premeditation here. Just a gut reaction. Totally different to the premeditated scenario you described earlier.

A woman pleaded guilty today to driving drunk and causing a crash that killed a Chicago man last February.
Bria L. Farrar, 25, of the 2100 block of 76th Avenue in Elmwood Park, was sentenced Tuesday in Cook County Circuit Court to 30 months of probation and 200 hours of community service after pleading guilty to reckless homicide and aggravated DUI involving a fatality. As part of Farrar's sentence, Judge John Scotillo also imposed a curfew.
Farrar was behind the wheel of a Hyundai Sonata at about 4 a.m. on Feb. 20 when she ran a red light at Irving Park Road and Harlem Avenue and struck a Jeep Wrangler, prosecutors said.

No where does it say she is out on bond. Maybe she bonded out. That is her right by law if bail is given by a judge, which is normal expect in severe case. If she didn't bond out then she is not celebrating christmas at home.
Further our legal system is a process. Part of that process includes once a person pleads guilty to a crime then a pre-sentence report and other items must be collected before a sentence is handed down. This can take 30+ days before a person is sentenced.
I'm sorry you don't agree with the process, but the process was put in place so people like you don't go off half cocked and implement vigilante justice.
Investigators say Long's vehicle struck "multiple vehicles" on Thornton Parkway before the fatal impact. When Long bonded out of jail, her family covered her with a blanket.
She had a .252 alcohol level and killed an individual. No bond.
