This is an airheaded 18 year old who does not grasp the meaning of what she is saying. This was a bad accident caused by her bad behavior. Charge and punish her based on that but grabbing at statements like this doesn't do anyone any good.
This girl is a prime example of how bad lifestyle choices and decisions can lead to horrible but unintended accidents. Hopefully her time in jail will give her a chance to stop, realize what she has done and get out of that lifestyle.
This isn’t really a question of bad lifestyle choices but of people who care for no one but themselves.
With you. She’s just a stupid kid who was saying in a very stupid way she’s glad she didn’t hit a child, the van was that out of control.
She’s going to be charged on killing someone while DUI. That is the point, and that’s what to focus on.
And when she's in prison for vehicular homicide she'll grasp the seriousness of her crime. Good place for her, too.
If I had just accidentally killed someone, I might not make much sense either.
