“The pregnant woman and mother of an 11-year-old”
In the running for worst judgment of the year award

Poor 11 kid. What a nutjob irresponsible woman.
Sounds 100% justified.
Don’t put me on the jury. I can’t abide someone killing a pregnant woman. Like most things in life, confrontations can be avoided. So she hit the motorcycle. He could follow her home and wait some distance away for police to arrive. It’s not like she is going to escape.

Yes but then she pulled out a gun and aimed it at them and all bets were off.
It’s amazing how misleading the headline and the first sentence are. It leads the reader to believe that an innocent pregnant, librarian was killed by lunatic with road rage.
Her coming outside wasn’t too smart. It could be considered threatening.
Did she call the police on the way home? Drive away from her home so the guy following her wouldn’t know where she lived? Did she feel physically threatened or just threatened financially? No insurance? Did she call the police and stay safely in the house when he was outside? A tough one. Seems like two hot heads.
Unless I missed it, I didn’t see how far along she was.
If she was 8 months along, I have difficulty visualizing how someone could shoot her, although having a gun pointed at you would likely have a bearing on it.
But if she was two or three months along, she might not show.
I get the distinct impression the media source included that to make it more salacious or damning.
It sounds like that was exactly what he was doing. Then she came out with a gun.
Yeah. I think cyclist is hosed but he shouldn’t be.
I would vote not guilty, simply because she could avoided trouble by staying in the house, but I am a well known lunatic.
