A woman from Isleta Pueblo in New Mexico was sentenced to 16 years in federal prison in connection with a fatal accident on the reservation.
Camille Suzanne Lente was initially sentenced to 18 years for the December 2005 deaths of three people. But the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the judge went too far with the punishment.
A new judge shaved two years off the original sentence but Lente will likely appeal, The Albuquerque Journal reported. She has been in prison since December 2006.
