   MERCED COUNTY, California (KSEE) — Despite being sentenced for more than   
   six years, Obdulia Sanchez would serve less than half of that before   
   being released on parole. Our legal analyst said it’s pretty unheard of   
   to get such an early release, especially given the crimes she was   
   convicted of.   
      
   The last time we saw Obdulia Sanchez make headlines was on Feb. 8, 2018:   
   the day she was sentenced to prison.   
      
   “I don’t want to go to prison, but I deserve whatever punishment I   
   receive,” Sanchez read from a letter she wrote during her sentencing   
   hearing. “She didn’t deserve to die the way she did. It should have been   
   me.”   
      
   She was convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter, DUI and child   
   endangerment after live-streaming the crash that killed her 14-year-old   
   sister Jacqueline back in 2017.   
      
   The livestream feed showed Sanchez behind the wheel and the moment she   
   veered off the road near Los Banos and flipped her car. Her sister and   
   her sister’s friend were ejected.   
      
   Sanchez would only serve a little more than a year of her sentence   
   before being granted parole. A spokesman with the California Department   
   of Corrections and Rehabilitation said she was released on Sept. 21 and   
   completed several rehabilitative programs.   
      
   Legal analyst David Mugridge said Sanchez must have had stellar behavior   
   in those programs.   
      
   “Number one, she would’ve had to have no violations, or very few   
   violations,” Mugridge said. “Certainly no significant violations when   
   she’s in the prison.”   
      
   During her court hearings, Sanchez’s family was vocal in their desire to   
   keep her out of prison. Mugridge adds their input to the parole board   
   likely played a big part in her release.   
      
   “It had to have been that the district attorney didn’t oppose, or didn’t   
   oppose very strongly, her release,” he said. “Also, that her family   
   certainly must have had a lot to do with this.”   
      
   We did reach out to Sanchez’s family to see if anyone would like to talk   
   about her release. They declined to talk.
