Driving death sentence 'hopelessly inadequate'SUPPLIED Stephanie and husband Ben McHaleA judge has acknowledged the sentence handed down to a man who killed a young mother with his careless driving feels "hopelessly inadequate". But Judge Marie McKenzie, addressing McHale's family directly, said the sentences feel "hopelessly inadequate" in terms of their loss. Work colleague Trudy Lloyd said Stephanie McHale was a woman who dedicated her life to her family, sport and community. "[He is] wholeheartedly remorseful that his choice to drive has led to the death of Stephanie McHale and the serious injury of his brother," he said. His ute, which was towing a trailer, veered across the centre line and smashed into a vehicle driven by young mother Stephanie McHale, killing her.
