Stephanie Melgoza, 24, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the fatal April 2022 accident
An Illinois woman who giggled and smiled after she killed two people in a 2022 drunk driving crash was sentenced to 14 years in prison last week.
In disturbing police body camera video obtained by Fox News Digital, Melgoza, 24, can be seen singing and smiling after the tragic collision.
Melgoza, whose blood alcohol level registered at .264 — more than three times the legal limit — showed no concern when an officer told her that she had fatally struck Paul Prowant, 55, and his girlfriend, 43-year-old Andrea Rosewicz.
The former Bradley University student stared blankly and then asked whether she would make her night class later that week.
"You’re on body camera being completely careless about killing two people tonight. You could care less. That’s sad and pathetic and horrible all at the same time,"
— East Peoria Police Officer Jeffrey Bieber told Stephanie Melgoza.
"Did you understand what I told you, that you killed two people tonight?" Bieber asked.
"Yes, I’m just wondering when I can go to school," she replied nonchalantly.
