Sometimes the messes that we get ourselves into are so large, that there is no escaping the consequences. I wonder how she could have thought hiding this from her family and the police was possible... she had told her friend about it, after all. Unbelieveable. Where is reality, for some people?
She was well in reality. She knew that she was drugged up, that she was driving, that she killed a guy. Not a good combination in court. So she threw the dice, all or nothing, and lost.
A good reason not to drink or do drugs and drive. Because what normally would be an accident becomes manslaughter. Even if it is completely not your fault, had nothing to do with your intoxication, and was just a freak accident....the fact that you are intoxicated is going to equal manslaughter.

I wish you could have heard her attorney in his opening argument today. All about how she was just driving down the road, minding her own business when -- BLAM -- there's a body right next to her ("as close to her as I am to this court reporter"); and what had been a "quiet ride" home was now REAL noisy, what with all the wind rushing in through the broken window and all. After all, she'd just been out for a night of fun and NOW THIS!
And she KNEW what she was doing; she kept going out to the garage to tell him how SORRY she was; and she just went into her house and COLLAPSED on the floor, sobbing.
And she did make a call, but it was to a friend to come help HER.
Mind you, all this time, she left that poor man with virtually NO FATAL injuries, hanging upside down in her car, head in the floorboard, feet and legs outside the car. He bled out from injuries that could have been readily treated had she not driven by a battery of phones, open gas stations, and a fire department and POLICE DEPARTMENT for SEVEN MILES.
She should get the needle.

How did this guy come through the windshield head-first?
Did he dive off an overpass or something?
