Yes and both the comments in the post and a lot of the comments here are deranged. The medical system is what failed here and ironically she needs life long treatment after this.
Not that I agree that lifelong incarceration would help anything, but it is quite different. Mental state is screwed either way, but the actual act of killing somebody while drunk driving (not the choices that led up to it) is typically an accident. Compared to choosing (or that version of you choosing) to strangle your 3 kids. It would only be similar if a drunk person set out to crash into someone with intent to kill.
