Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio
My friend was killed by a drunk driver last year. She was driving and registered a .48 on her breathalyzer and also had marijuana in her system. My friend was on a motorcycle and she hit him and he died in the hospital shortly after. She recently was assigned a court date, and the family received notice that the judge already decided the punishment of 18 months in prison and a suspended license for life. She also pleaded not guilty earlier. How can this be fitting? and how can he decide the punishment before the trial? And he is known for being very easy on DUI cases.

The defendantmay have pled guilty with an agreed sentence. Therefore, there would not be a trial. The family should contact the judge and request to be present and heard at the sentencing. Get the media involved too.
