The judge said his record shows his outrageous thumbing of his nose at the justice system.
On Friday Ashley Louie Richard was sentenced to six years, minus time served, for the death of Rachel Leost.
Leost, a young mother, was killed when a stolen vehicle crashed into her vehicle on Mother's Day weekend two years ago.
The family of Leost is not impressed with the sentence length.
"He beats the law all the time. He's in and out of jail, and he took a life he should be given life," Leost's Mother-in-law Jeannine Boyer said.
In 2007 Richard was driving a stolen van that blew a stop sign crashing into the 38-year-old mother of three.
Richard's blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit.
The 33-year-old was on curfew and his license was suspended at the time.
During sentencing Justice Perry Schulman said Richard not only violently killed Leost, but ruined the lives of her husband, children and family.
He went on to say when a person takes a life he destroys the world, and in this case Leost's universe.
Right now, there is no minimum sentence for this crime.
That is something Jeannine Boyer says she wants changed.
Her son was married to Leost, and now as a grandmother she has watched the family struggle to cope.
Reminders of what was taken from the family never seem to be far away.
The same day his mother's killer is sentenced Leost's eldest son, who is now 17, will graduate from high school.
In a statement read by his lawyer Richard said he is sorry for causing so much pain and sorrow.
Along with the sentence Richard is prohibited from driving for 15 years and is ordered to submit his DNA.
Richard has spent 20 months in custody and that total is doubled giving him credit for 40 months.
He is sentenced to 32 months starting Friday, June 26, 2009
