Cheeves, 24, said she was sorry in such a soft voice that one of her victims, Kadella Davis, asked her to speak up.
Cheeves' attorney, Andrea Konow, said his client was behind the wheel when Alisha Moore, 27, was fatally struck outside the club, on 8th Street near Dauphin.
She pleaded guilty to homicide by vehicle, aggravated assault, leaving the scene of an accident and related counts.
The women were drunk on vodka and Four Loko, an alcoholic energy drink, when they terrorized the club patrons about 4 a.m.
Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner sentenced Cheeves to four to eight years in state prison and two years of probation afterward. He sentenced Williams to two to four years in prison and three years of probation.
Davis said she believed that the sentences were too short. She was promoting a party at the club that night and repeatedly asked the defendants to go home before the rampage. She ended up getting hit by the car. She suffered numerous broken bones including her arm, ribs, jaw and nose. Her medical bills totaled more than $400,000.
"People are sitting up in jail doing more time for doing less," she said. "It didn't have to happen. It wasn't an accident; they did it on purpose. They would not leave."
Stanley Elam, Moore's father, also said he wished the defendants got more time. "I'm not satisfied with it, but justice was done," he said. "It's a poor system, but that's the way it is."
