The victim's family was left feeling the punishment does not fit the crime.
-- It was a tragedy outside a Hamptons summer party last year when an incoming New York University freshman was struck by a car and killed.That driver faced a judge for sentencing Thursday, but as CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reports, the victim's family was left feeling the punishment does not fit the crime.
"He is going to come back and his life is going to become fine in a few months, but for us, our family is gone for life," Mala Samtani told CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff."For me, it's a life imprisonment for myself because I have to live the pain all my life." The judge promised no jailtime -- there were no drugs or alcohol -- but leaving the scene of an accident."That felt very bad. It was like, we felt like..." said Kishore Samtani, the victim's father.
Campbell was sentenced to 90 days in jail, 90 days of community service and five years of probation. Judge called the sentence"fair and reasonable." "He was apologetic, but he still did not admit about his speeding, and, which, I don't believe that he was driving at 25 miles an hour," Kishore Samtani said."Hopefully, he'll learn from it, and other people who see him as remanded maybe will think twice about leaving the scene of an accident," said Benjamin Brafman, an attorney for the victim's family.
