Well, I'm not surprised that everyone who has posted seems not to have a problem with this sentence. Like mirevolver posted above I read that in Texas she'll have to serve 25 years before possible parole. I'm glad about that.
I also didn't realize that this happened in fall of 2001 but wasn't caught (due to a tip according to one article) until the spring of 2002. I originally thought she had been caught pretty much right away.
The fact she simply let the guy die in a way makes her crime worse than a simple accident. I have a hard time trying to compare this to simple murder. In a way I really want to say what she did is actually worse, like torture or an execution style murder. On the other hand, she didn't intentionly go out to kill someone. In the end, someone has lost their life. The whole thing is ultimately just sad.
