Seems to me that getting a whopping 3 years for slamming drunk into a vehicle and damn near killing a kid oughta not elicit a 'woah, that's pretty harsh' from anyone.

Here's what I found with a little Googling:

Drivers who get into accidents while intoxicated that results in “serious physical injury” are charged with class D felonies. Sentences for these range from 2-7 years in prison and a maximum fine of $10,000.

So 3 years is on the lower end of the range but not the lowest.
