GRAND RAPIDS -- As she watched a judge sentence Andrew Tittle to a year in jail today for causing her son's death in an October drunken driving crash, Michelle Sobczak-Obetts said the criminal justice system did not do its job.
"The system has failed me," she said about what she believed was too low a penalty for Tittle, 26, of Ada Township The death has devastated the mother an divided the family, Sobczak-Obetts said.
Kent County Circuit Court Judge Paul Sullivan today sentenced Tittle to the year sentence on a charge of operating while intoxicated causing death -- the sentence includes allowance for work release.
Tittle admitted to driving drunk on Oct. 17 -- police recorded a .22 blood-alcohol level -- when he crashed into a tree on Honey Creek Avenue NE south of Two Mile Road.
Sullivan's sentence was well below recommended state sentencing guidelines of 29-57 months in prison.
