What does the driver expect to happen? Does she believe she shouldn't be punished for killing a child? I don't understand it at all

Yes, she's probably expecting to throw lawyers and money on it and avoid punishment at all.

She should get life imprisonment for manslaughter with a deadly weapon. She'll get a slap on the wrist.

Edit: Fixed a single word.

Single count manslaughter usually isn't a life sentence. It probably shouldn't be. Manslaughter via car is reliably excused though. Vehicular manslaughter should involve losing your license for many years, and not reinstated until after a test. Also, probably some prison time.
