A bereaved woman expresses her disillusionment with the justice system after the driver, responsible for her family's death, was released early from prison.

A woman who lost her family in a tragic crash caused by drug-impaired driving feels let down by the legal system after Aurelijus Cielevicius, the driver convicted of killing three members of her family, was released from prison after serving only three years of a ten-year sentence. Cielevicius, who was speeding at 96 mph while under the influence of drugs including crystal meth and cannabis, was sentenced to ten and a half years but was granted an early release under a controversial prison scheme. The incident occurred when he drove recklessly on the wrong side of the road in Norfolk, resulting in the deaths of Paul Carter, 41, Lisa Carter, 49, and her daughter Jade Mace, 25.
