Amanda Bixby, 19, was killed on Valentine's Day after another driver -_- who was speeding and didn't have a license -_- ran a stop sign and smashed into her vehicle near Basehor.
On Wednesday, that other driver -_- Ricardo Flores an illegal alien-_- was given six months of probation and a $170 fine. Prosecutors say they couldn't seek a case of vehicular homicide because, under Kansas law, Flores' violations weren't enough to justify it. Flores' attorney said that probation was appropriate because this was purely an accident. Bixby's dad isn't satisfied. He said he's going to lobby the legislature to make the law stricter.
Dennis Bixby did lobby and now Kansas has "Amands Law" on the books
