Driver gets two years prison time in wreck that killed two women, three kids

One of two drivers charged in a wreck that killed a former Eunice woman and her three children as well as another woman received two years in prison during sentencing Tuesday.
Additionally, Kelsye Hall, 24, received 15 years’ suspended sentence.
Hall was convicted in August of five counts of negligent homicide.
She and David Leger engaged in an alleged road-rage chase on I-10 near Highland Road that resulted in the crash that killed Effie Fontenot, 29, and Kimberly Stagg, 19, both of Prairieville, and Fontenot’s three young sons: Austin Fontenot, 3; Hunter Johnson, 7; and Keagan Fontenot, 11.
Hall faced two to five years in prison on each of the counts relating to Austin Fontenot and Hunter Johnson, and up to five years in prison on the counts involving Kimberly Stagg, Effie Fontenot and Keagan Fontenot.
Judge Trudy White, who convicted Hall in a bench trial and rejected her motion for a new trial, sentenced Hall to concurrent two-year prison terms in the deaths of Austin and Hunter.
The judge then sentenced Hall to consecutive five-year terms in the deaths of the three other victims, but suspended those 15 years in lieu of active supervised probation for five years.
Leger, 31, of Palmetto is charged with five counts of vehicular homicide and faces five to 30 years in prison on each count if convicted. His next court date before White is Nov. 12.
State Police said Leger had a blood-alcohol content of 0.10 percent at the time of the crash.
In Louisiana, a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 percent is considered presumptive evidence of drunken driving for those 21 and older.
Both Hall and Leger have been sued by families of the victims and DOTD has been sued for not having cable median barriers in place when the accident occurred
