Prosecutors say Christine Padilla, pictured, was operating like someone under the influence when she plowed her SUV through a red light and into a nanny and baby last February — two days after she gave birth.

A California attorney who struck and killed a nanny pushing a baby through a San Diego crosswalk before horrifically dragging the child and stroller beneath her SUV has been sentenced to just 48 hours in jail.
Christine Padilla, 35, was sentenced Friday to jail time, probation and 180 days of electronic surveillance after plowing through a red light and into the 41-year-old woman less than two days after giving birth to her own child.

Monserrat Mendez was thrown approximately 30 feet from Padilla’s Toyota 4Runner, and the 14-month-old boy and stroller dragged through the intersection Feb. 1.
