So she got 15 years to life, for hit and run. What would happen if she acually stopped, called 112, and tried to save those kids?

Nothing, because we use 9-1-1 for that here
Jokes aside though she'd go to jail for DUI and speeding that badly almost certainly, the kids are dead either way. Probably get something like 10-25 and not 15-life, though
What would happen if she acually stopped, called 112, and tried to save those kids?
She would’ve probably also gotten a DUI, is my guess. Seems like it’s a somewhat common tactic for drunks to flee the scene and sober up so they don’t get the DUI tacked on.
I guarantee the prosecutor would have plead down the charges to something like only the vehicular manslaughter and not the 2nd degree murder or hit-and-run.
EDIT: Maybe not. She was driving 81mph in a 30mph zone. They definitely wouldn't have charged her with hit-and-run, but I don't know if they could plead down the other charges with such gross neglect like that.
Testimony disputing the defense's claim that another vehicle driven by Grossman's ex-boyfriend Scott Erickson struck the boys first, with witnesses stating Erickson's black SUV did not hit them.
So she tried to throw her ex under the bus in her defense, but let's also consider that two people traveling to the same location and back took two separate SUVs instead of coordinating together
You can't carpool while doing crime. Too many witnesses
Should have used a Tesla. They got the trolley problem solved.
