"A convicted drunk driver who killed a star musician is begging a judge to reduce his prison sentence.Justin Hill, 26, is serving a 12-year prison sentence for causing the crash that killed Ashlee Madison in 2010.\"I thought when he was initially sentenced, I wouldn't be in this place again,\" said Ashlee's mother, Lisa Madison Benner. \"I feel like I'm being re-victimized.\"\"I have not received a letter saying he was sorry,\" she added. \"That same time and effort that he's using to show people he changed, he hasn't acknowledged what he's done.\"Instead of an apology, she said she has received a desperate plea from Hill. In a handwritten letter to District Judge Ray C. Elliot, Justin begs the judge to release him from prison.\"I am so very sorry and I take full responsibility for what I did,\" he wrote. \"I have been promoted to the highest privilege level in the fastest amount of time possible. I have not received any disciplinary write-ups.\"\"I don't need him to write this lovely 2 1/2-page letter about all of his accomplishments and things he's done in prison,\" said Benner. \"What that tells me is he's doing this for a reason, to get out or get something lessened.\"Hours before her death, Ashlee Madison and her band entertained a crowd at the Riverwind Casino in Norman.On the way home from her performance, Hill sideswiped the car she was riding in, which caused the driver to slam into a retaining wall. The crash killed the accomplished musician. Hill's blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit, investigators said.\"I just want him stand up, be a man and accept his responsibility for what he did,\" she said.Hill's hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday in District Judge Ray C. Elliot's courtroom.Crime footer"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
