Jeanette Sliwinski, a former trade-show model convicted of reckless homicide in a July 2005 crash that killed three men in a suicide attempt, is scheduled to be released from prison Oct. 2, less than halfway into her 8-year sentence.

Friends and families of the victims, along with a former Skokie police officer who investigated the case, expressed outrage at Sliwinski's release, even though her sentence reduction follows the law.

One of the victims' friends, Heather Whinna, attended every court hearing for 21/2 years after the nearly 90-m.p.h. crash in Skokie. Arriving at the courthouse early one day, she watched a man receive a 42-month sentence for stealing a scarf and hat from a Louis Vuitton store.
