Drunk old lady gets 30 days for killing man, seriously injuring daughter
Lillian Angelo, 81, pleaded guilty today to plowing into a car driven by some poor guy taking his family out for a bite at Kelly's Roast Beef on May 25, 2005.
Angelo, of Chelsea, will serve 30 days in jail followed by a year of house arrest and two years of probation, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office. She will also have her license permanently revoked.
Robert Ayoub, 52, of Needham, died in the crash; his daughter, in the front seat of his car, spent nine days in the hospital.
Prosecutors say Angelo was drunk (she tested at .11 - the state limit is .08) and blew by a state trooper at an estimated 100 m.p.h. seconds before crashing her 1989 Cadillac into Ayoub's car.
Angelo, also injured in the crash, was allowed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts rather than a felony due to her frail condition. More from the DA's office.

That's such bullshit. I was
That's such bullshit. I was unaware that laws applied less to old people than they do to me. See, had I blown by a cop at 100mph, OR had a BAC of .11 (let alone BOTH of those), I would've been arrested. But let the old woman kill a father under both of those circumstances, with a mere slap on the wrist.
