A blood sample taken from Bugni 90 minutes after the wreck turned up marijuana and a blood-alcohol concentration of .04, below the legal limit of .08.

On Friday, friends and family of Wang were the first allowed to speak.

Her husband, Missoula County sheriff's deputy Carl Ibsen, doubted Bugni's remorse and called for the maximum sentences, which could have totaled 30 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.

In particular, Ibsen cited a message Bugni posted to his own Facebook page last July, interpreting it to mean Bugni felt he was the victim.

Ibsen, a 38-year veteran of Missoula law enforcement, said later he is not happy with the sentence but that everyone looked at it realistically.

"We all would have liked a bigger sentence," he said. "Maybe (Bugni) is genuinely remorseful, but I don't think so."

Bugni's mother Bonnie testified on his behalf, calling him a good and caring person. She said he has changed a great deal over the past year, and wishes he could change what happened.

Her son does need help, Bonnie Bugni said, but asked that it come by rehabilitation, such as boot camp.
