John Babinski shows a picture of his daughter, Brittany, on his smartphone. The picture was taken one month before she was killed in August 2013 by a speeding driver in Spokane Valley. It was Brett Birge’s fourth accident of the afternoon while driving high on meth and several other drugs. Birge received a low sentence for vehicular homicide, despite more than a dozen letters pleading for the maximum sentence. Story here. (SR photo: Dan Pelle)
