   SANTA ANA (CBSLA.com) — A repeat drunken driver was sentenced   
   Friday to 18 years to life in prison for killing a 76-year-old   
   woman and injuring her blind grandson on the 4th of July in San   
   Clemente.   
      
   Kelly Michele Wolfe, 47, of Dana Point was convicted on Sept. 28   
   of second-degree murder and driving under the influence of   
   alcohol.   
      
   Orange County Superior Court Judge Gary Paer said “This case is   
   unbelievable. She’s driving at .31 (percent of blood-alcohol   
   level), almost four times the legal limit. Insanity at its best.”   
      
   “The hardest thing that I have with this whole situation is that   
   she didn’t stop and take care of responsibility. There’s no   
   remorse,” said the victim’s daughter Martha Demchuk.   
      
   But Wolfe did tearfully apologized to the victim’s family later.   
   “Saying I am sorry for what happened will not be enough. But I   
   am so very sorry for what happened everyday since then,” Wolfe   
   said. “The remorse I have is a sentence I will live with every   
   day of my life. I pray every night God gives your family the   
   comfort that only he can.”   
      
   Her attorney, Louis Pilato, argued again Friday that there was   
   no evidence his client was drunk at the time of the collision   
   and that she should have been charged with manslaughter instead.   
      
   Senior Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Walker said Wolfe was   
   driving a Volkswagon van that struck Marthann Demchuk of   
   Monrovia and her 12-year-old grandson, Mason Fessenden, on El   
   Camino Real, just south of Camino Capistrano at about 8:30 p.m.   
   on July 4, 2013.   
      
   Prosecutors said Demchuk was standing in the gutter while her   
   grandson was on the curb holding her arm. They were watching   
   fireworks.   
      
   Fessenden suffered minor injuries. He said: “Eventually, I will   
   be able to see her in heaven.”   
      
   Demchuk’s death “has left a gaping hole in my life,” the   
   victim’s son, Matthew Demchuk, said.   
      
   Wolfe has a prior DUI conviction from Nevada in 1995.
