Drowsy Driver Gets 30 Days for 3 Lives | 
Lafourche District Attorney Cam Morvant II (shown in the photo) choose not to file more-serious charges against droswy driver and LSU student Binh Pham that could have resulted in a significantly longer sentence. The head-on crash last year in Larose killed three people and yet Pham only received a 30-day jail sentence.
As first reported by WWLTV, Morvant defended his decision, explaining he would have needed information indicating Pham knowingly put others in danger in order to charge her with negligent homicide.
Pham plead guilty to driving left of center – her mini-van struck a Ford Focus driven by Dawn Graham which also held her youngest children, 10-year-old Stacie and 8-year-old Bryan Jr., all of which died in the crash.
The family considered suing Pham for civil damages but instead, have worked with the National Sleep Foundation and its Web site, http://drowsydriving.org, in hopes that states will tighten laws against drowsy drivers who cause traffic fatalities.
