Key quotes:

"Papst faced a felony charge, but because the county attorney couldn't prove that she was drunk at the time of the accident, Papst was able to plead to the misdemeanor."

"In order to convict on a felony, prosecutors would have had to prove that Papst was drunk at the time of the accident. But police didn't catch up with her until later on the night of the collision."
