Agreed, the punisment was pretty harsh, but sadly sometimes the courts need to hand out a harsh punisment in order to get people to understand just how seriously some acts are. Although in this case, I think maybe as had been suggested in the article maybe a fine and a hundred or more hours of community service would have been the better way to handle it.
Regardless, though I think that it is safe to say that this individual will hopefully think before she acts the next time she finds herself in this or a similar situation.
