Megan and Lisa were 20 years old when they were killed by Eric who was drunk diving. At first the mother of the two girls hated Eric for what he did but decided she had to forgive him. So she went up to the judge and said that she forgave him and to cut his sentence in half. The judge agreed with her and cut Eric sentence.
