DUI Florida Woman trying to make amends for fatal DUI crash

"Every morning, Jessica Leslie thinks about the man she killed. She spends the rest of the day trying to forgive herself. It's been eight months since she left prison, but for the rest of her life she'll be branded: Felon. Youthful offender. Danger to society. Killer. For the rest of her life, she'll be haunted by the sight of that arm around the left front tire of her Toyota Celica. Four years ago, Leslie was celebrating her plans to join the U.S. Air Force. Now she stands in front of 250 strangers and explains how she went from being vice president of Students Against Drunk Driving in high school to pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter.

'I had two beers and two shots,' she said."
