PHILADELPHIA -- The family of a woman who was killed by a drunken driver staged a protest outside the Philadelphia courtroom Monday calling for the maximum sentence.

The Davis family is so outraged because they have been impacted by two drunken driving deaths 18 years apart. In 1987, Julia Davis was killed by a drunk driving while driving to her sister's wedding in South Carolina. Her daughter, Tracy Imani Lynne Davis, 41, was killed by drunken driver April 27, 2005.

Police said Miranda Casalena, 24, was driving drunk on City Avenue when she struck Tracy Davis.

The judge sentenced Casalena to four to eight years in prison.

The Davis family and others feared Miranda Casalena would get minimal prison time even though she had a previous drunken-driving offense.

"I was in that car (in which Julia Davis was killed) 20 years ago, and when Imani got killed last year, it felt like it happened all over again. I was disfigured (during the first crash)," said Angela Davis, Tracy Davis' sister.

Casalena apologized to the victim's family in court and in a letter that was not turned over to them until Monday.

"I thought that was heartfelt. And I thought that it was ironic that Imani was a makeup artist and Miranda was a makeup artist. I was really moved by that," Angela Davis said.

Casalena's attorney, Scott O'Keefe, said that she is horrified about the accident.

"Is she remorseful? Very. Absolutely. She may not look it but she has been remorseful from day one on this. She went into the hospital at Hahnemann, they flew her over there. Her first words were concern about the woman she had hit," O'Keefe said.
