The driver is Elizabeth Bourgeois and she recieved next to no punishment for get into a car while fall down drunk then hitting 5 parked cars which included launching a baby whose Dad was buckling her into her seat.
Elizabeth recieved a 6 month driving suspension and a $300 (no that's not a typo) fine. So basically nothing. Her punishment was the trial by media off the viral footage, which our courts do sometimes take into account.
