18-year-old Takunda Mavima, a graduate of Wyoming High School, Michigan, and an honors student, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for killing two of his classmates.. while driving drunk. Krysta Howell, 15, and Timothy See, 17 were killed in the fatal crash that wounded three others aged 16-18. However, many believe that the punishment is too great for such a young kid, even the victims families asked for the judge to be more lenient.
As Tim See's sister Laura states, "I am begging you to let Takunda make something of himself in the real world-- don't send him to prison and get hard and bitter, that boy has learned his lesson a thousand times over and he'll never make the same mistake again."
His punishment is already on the state's low-end guidelines for the crime he committed.
Takunda appologized to the court, "I just want to say I'm so sorry I took two bright, intelligent, wonderful people out of this world... I'm sorry."
A worst-case scenario of mixing alcohol and driving..
