I disagree. How was she to know two people on a motorcycle would be such careless drivers that they could not swerve to miss the car. What if the car had been disabled?
If this were a civil suit in California — then the jury would weigh the comparative negligence of the actors in assessing percentages of liability.
But since this is a criminal case, the only question before the jury was whether her having come to a complete stop in the number one lane - for a ridiculous reason —was a criminally negligent act.
IMO, it definitely was.
Moron doesn’t stop on the highway without lights flashers or flares and 2 people don’t die.
End of story.
Maybe not life but certainly deserves a stiff penalty.
Agree. I’ve always held the notion that if the front of your car (or motorcycle) hits something/anything, then that’s on you.
