The mother of a drunk driver who was being sentenced for killing a man was jailed after she laughed and mocked the victim's family during an impact statement.

Amanda Kosal, 25, was waiting to hear how long she would spend in prison for killing father-of-five Jerome Zirker when her supporters made the shocking outburst.

Judge Qiana Lillard threw Donna Kosal and another man out of her courtroom and called them 'clowns' after Zirker's sister took the stand and read a statement on behalf of his children.

Video from inside the Detroit courtroom shows the judge losing patience with a man, and then the woman, after she caught them smirking.

She is then seen ordering officers to bring the mom back in, so she could sentence her to 93 days behind bars for contempt of court.

Amanda Kosal pleaded guilty to killing Jerome Zirker, 31, and severely injuring his fiancee Brittany Johnson, also 31.

She slammed into them head-on in Redford Township on June 23, according to Click on Detroit.

Amanda was sentenced to three to 15 years in prison.

Her mother, Donna Kosal, and an unidentified boyfriend, were in the courtroom, and acting disrespectfully, according to Judge Lillard.

'It's time for him to go,' the judge says, looking out into the gallery.

'And I don't know who he is, but whoever can sit here at a tragic moment like this and laugh and smile when somebody has lost a family member... in the entire time that Mr. Zirker's sister was speaking that clown, and that's what I am going to call him, a clown, was sitting there smiling and laughing.'

The man is escorted from the room by a guard. Then the judge turns her attention to Donna Kosal

'And you can go, too. Because if you don't know how to act, you can go to jail. So leave.

'Anybody that can sit there and laugh and smirk - take her, she's going in the back - anybody else wanna go?

'You can go, too. This is a court of law. And these are very serious matters.'

Donna sniped at the judge and was then told to come back into the court.

'I understand that you all are very upset because your loved one is going to prison but guess what, she's going to prison for the choices that she made.

'These people are here grieving, saddened because a senseless act took away their loved one and you're sitting here acting like it's a joke?' the judge said.

'Anybody else want to go?' the judged asked. 'Try it.'

After just one night in jail, a humbled Donna Kosal (seen above) cried and apologized for her behavior in court

Donna Kosal was sentenced to 93 days for contempt after the judge said she was laughing and mocking the victim's family

She then sentenced Donna to 93 days in jail for contempt, the maximum allowable.

The next day, however, Donna appeared before the judge, handcuffed and humbled.

'I deeply apologize for what I did. I was under a lot of stress,' said a sobbing Donna Kosal. She explained that she has panic attacks and is on medication.

The judge took pity on her and sentenced her to time served.

'What you have to understand is as hard as this is for you to see your baby going to prison, imagine what that family feels like when their child is dead. I hope that you learned a valuable lesson from this,' the judge said.

Amanda slammed into Zirker and Johnson after Zirker had picked up his fiancee from her 12-hour shift as a care worker at a group home, reported Click on Detroit.

Ordinarily, their five kids would have been with them, but Johnson said they were at their grandmother's instead.

'[Amanda] took everything away from me and it’s horrible,' Johnson said. 'She took a good man off this earth. He was a good man who took care of his kids on a daily basis.'

She said she would have preferred Amanda not go to prison and instead stay out of it and help her support her children.
