The sentence is raising questions (syracuse.com) — A St. Clair Shores great-grandmother was killed in a 2025 hit-and-run, and the driver has now received two years of probation and weekend jail time instead of full-time incarceration. The sentence, which also includes community service and no contact with the family, is drawing scrutiny because of the victim's age and the circumstances of the crash.
