A New York judge sentenced a woman who pleaded guilty to fatally shoving an 87-year-old Broadway singing coach onto a Manhattan sidewalk to six months more in prison than the eight years that had been previously reached in a plea deal.

I direct you to comments below, detailing the circumstances. She got drunk, became increasingly belligerent and violent... then took out her rage on this random old woman viciously. She showed no remorse, to the point of sociopathy.

Edit: In hindsight, I'm unclear if you're suggesting she should see a longer or shorter sentence.

She was out celebrating 100 days until she got married, why does every mundane thing have to be celebrated? Just go out and have a good time with your fiancé. You don’t need an excuse.

Celebrating...100 days till marriage? That is fucking stupid.

Suuure... that is the real highlight of this story, the worst thing she did that night. >.>'

Holy fuck, what an unhinged person. Bad person right from reacting to "we close at 11" with aggression, but then just escalates it irrationally from there. Throws her food on her fiance (I'm guessing maybe he had the gall to tell her to chill out, or maybe he was just there and she thought he was a safe target), and then goes out and attacks an elderly woman because she "thought she might say something". Then later meets up with her fiance again and blames him for "ruining the night" when it was all her own insane reaction to being told a place was closing and they'd have to hurry up.

Is she the avatar of the shitty entitled aggressive consumer who blames everyone else for their problems? Fuck her and everything about her.

Her sentence might only be 8.5 years but with her anger management skills, it'll probably get increased. Though she'll be locked up with a bunch of people who aren't on their 80s, so she might not survive her next tantrum.

Well... from the descriptions of her actions, it seems like she has undiagnosed and untreated mental health issues. Which is kind of an even sadder indictment of society.
