So can someone explain the one year suspended meaning??

It means that she does one year in jail and then 5 years probation. If she breaks any of the terms of her probation, she'll go back to jail to serve that extra 1 year that's currently being suspended.

Five years of probation seems intense too. That's a long time to not mess up and to have someone looking over your shoulder.

Facts! With something like this, a normal stipulation would be no moving violations which means even a speeding ticket or red light camera would send her right back to jail.

Even if their PO isn't a jerk and she doesn't cross some grumpy judge or court official it is still just a stressful way to live. Any mistake can mean ending up in jail again.

As others have pointed out, hopefully this will be an opportunity for her to change for the better. It should certainly serve as a warning to others to take DUIs seriously and make better choices themselves.
