The Houston mother who provided drugs and alcohol to her son and his prom date that may have contributed to the girl's death was sentenced Tuesday to 21 months behind bars.
Melissa Martinez pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing a controlled substance, taking responsibility for doling out hydrocodone pills to her son, 18-year-old Eddie Herrera and his date, 17-year-old Jacqueline Gomez.

quote:
Martinez was taken into custody Tuesday after admitting she gave the teens drugs and two bottles of whiskey, as rented the room for after the prom.
She also lied to Gomez's mother about when the teens would be home, which was what the bereaved mother took her to task for on Tuesday.
"You're not even sorry for what you did," Annie Barron told Martinez from the witness stand. "And the punishment you got, you deserve every day. Every day."
The plea deal, in state District Judge Vanessa Velasquez's court, attracted family from both sides.
Prosecutor Justin Wood, who convicted Herrera, said he would object to any early release for good time for Martinez.

How is he 25 years worth of responsible, but she is only 21 months worth?

Related note. I've heard of parents around here buying their kids a bottle of booze of their choice for graduation because they thought the kids said they would "get it elsewhere" if the parents didn't. What the heck kind of logic is that? Tell them to kiss that prom goodbye baw.

My parents had booze at my graduation party.

You forget that it was legal to drink at that age when some of these parents were young.

Hell my mom still thought it was 18 in LA when I went off to college.
