Item: Charge filed in deaths of former Vik athletes: Filer driver charged with reckless driving, faces 6 months in jail, $1K fine/Tom Hasslinger, Press

More Info: Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs said Wednesday that the charge, filed May 5, is related to the Sept. 12, 2010, single-car accident off 3900 N Road in Twin Falls County that took the lives of Coeur d'Alene High School graduates and College of Southern Idaho students Ryan Reinhardt, 18, and Devon Austin, 19. Reinhardt, the driver of the vehicle, crashed the car off the rural road around 1 a.m. The accident's lone survivor, Jessica Duran, 19, identified Laughlin as an acquaintance from school who chased the Coeur d'Alene teenagers as they left Laughlin's party.

Question: Is the possible penalty in this case sufficient?
