I don't see why she shouldn't be charged with murder. She may have also intended to kill herself, but she also intended to kill her sister. And even if she expected to die as well (which would appear to be the only logical conclusion, since she went over that cliff herself), she knew she'd be taking her sister's life as well. That should at least be manslaughter. That she is walking around freely in society, after accomplishing manslaughter/murder and attempting suicide, is troubling and mystifying.

????

Seems like there were emotions and she was having violence done to her - how do you justify your judgement of her without more facts than are available?

Perhaps guilty of many other sins - as are we all - but no way to deem it murder with what's available.

You’re right about not judging people without all the facts, and that’s something I always tried to hold to.

I didn’t consider that somehow her sister might have been responsible, though. And it didn’t seem very likely. For one thing, news reports don’t make any mention of that possibility, and they should especially do so if she has claimed that herself. While the media routinely lie and suppress things, that seems to be more often the case in situation they want to exploit for political reasons.

The accounts of witnesses also didn’t seem to suggest that the other twin was in control, or responsible, at the time the car was in motion.

The news reports on the past behavior of the twins, too, suggest they were both violent and unstable. They routinely had vicious physical fights with each other.
