Seriously? Four Years & Eight Months? That’s a Slap on the Wrist! He CHOSE to DRINK and Killed a Guy! Lemme’ guess, out for good behavior by 4th of July… so he can DUI again. He’s Lucky I’M NOT the Judge!
Hope he enjoys his time in prison. Doesn’t seem like nearly enough time.
He plead guilty to DUI… I think you can safely remove “allegedly” from your article.
What about the bodily injury to the other passengers? Why is he getting off easy?

Court options at the time of sentencing
gross vehicular manslaughter sentencing – court options
The court has several options when determining gross vehicular manslaughter options in California.
If you are convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, the court has discretion in determining your punishment depending on the circumstances of your case. The court has the following options at time of sentencing:

Plus an additional sentence of 3 to 6 years if any surviving victim sustains great bodily injury
Impose a sentence of 15 years to life if you have a previous conviction under CA PC 191.5 or two prior DUI convictions
Place you on probation and impose a sentence of up to one year in county jail
Place you on probation and order you to do community service, a work release program and attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) classes
Place you on formal probation and assign you a probation officer
