A woman who was drunk when her all-terrain vehicle flipped over and crushed her best friend to death now faces a felony manslaughter charge, CBS reported.

Carlee D'Aratta, who has had a history of alcohol abuse, may face up to 10 years in prison for the death of Antonette Thevenin, a longtime family friend.

But the manslaughter charge is not enough punishment, according to Thevenin’s family, who believe that D'Aratta should have been charged with murder.
