Outrage as North Carolina judge gives comically light sentence to woman, 28, who ADMITS to running a red light and killing an accomplished college athlete, 25, before fleeing the scene
Daily Mail ^ | 09/23/26 | Kelly Garino

A North Carolina woman will spend just weeks behind bars for a hit-and-run that killed a star college athlete out for a run.

Q'laundra Hood, 28, was handed just 30 days in jail for a crash that killed 25-year-old Lance Sotelo, with a judge also ordering three years of supervised probation and $765 in restitution, according to Queens City News.

Black female perpetrator, black judge and white male victim, pretty much expected outcome.

People need to wake up, this country has the absolute most racist bigoted black population on the planet, while not all are that was the very large majority are and they hate whites and are happy to see whites suffer.

If you switched all the races around there would literally be rioting on the streets and national calls of systematic white racism.

Per the above, the perp didn’t turn herself in until the following morning.

No testing for impairment was done.

I am sure the same judge would have given a J6 protestor years in jail.

“this country has the absolute most racist bigoted black population on the planet”

Last night, Newsmax was reporting the (white) Afrikaners’ plight in S. Africa since apartheid ended. DH and I were saying that it’s almost the same thing here. We can’t understand how nobody is mentioning that.

My last Trump ballot had 10 judges listed on the back. All commies. All uncontested.

Hit and run is one of the most heinous of crimes.

Leave race out of it. There can be no other way, except to have one tie that binds everyone. Otherwise, the deal is off. Low frequency individuals simply can’t cannot be allowed near government, much less be a judge. If this happened to someone in my family, and the perp was let off like this, somebody is going to die. That’s all there is to it.

First, foremost, and always, Progtards are tribalists.

Under the travesty that passes for “justice” in Demoncrat controlled areas, a black woman is far more valuable than a gay, white male.

When the system inevitably devolves to vigilante justice, people would do well to remember history.

It is not the perps who will be hunted down and exterminated first, but the judges, lawyers, and law enforcement who aided and abetted the criminals as accessories during and after the fact.

Mecklenburg County Superior Court Judge Reggie E McKnight handed down the remarkably light sentence on Wednesday, after Hood pleaded guilty to felony hit-and-run causing serious injury or death and misdemeanor death by vehicle.

Qlaundra Hood sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty Tuesday in Mecklenburg County Superior Court to running a red light, striking a beloved Charlotte runner, and leaving him dying in the street.

What does that mean? Were these all misdemeanors she was allowed to plead down to? If so, that's FAR more concerning than the light sentence. It means the next judge gets to say, "well, she's never been convicted of a SERIOUS crime."

On Tuesday, Hood pleaded guilty to the reduced charges: felony hit-and-run causing serious injury or death, plus misdemeanor death by vehicle. The involuntary manslaughter charge did not survive the plea.

OK - should have read further. She should absolutely have been forced to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter, but that requires a minimum of a few years. But at least she has felony on her RAP.

Well, mostly right. The perps will take them out themselves. We’ll only have to focus on the perps.

I would love to see a cascading series of AI systems that could replace our current (failed) justice system.

AI system #1 — a local system, no connection to the internet. Load it with state laws and statutes and applicable federal laws (such as the Constitution). Load it with evidence from the trial, as presented by the Defense and Prosecution. Make sure that no outside information is allowed to contaminate it.

AI system #2 — Takes information only from the first system and replaces all information about Names, Sex, and Race. Everything becomes “Person A stated that Person B was decapitated at the scene.” Justice ought not to depend on some people getting away with crimes because they have hormones or because they have dark skin. Have an AI system strip out all such identifying information. It is not relevant. All are equal under the law.

AI system #3 — Take the information only from AI system #2. Based on the laws and evidence, ask two questions: Was a crime committed? Did the Defendant commit that crime?

AI system #4 — Based on previous cases involving similar crimes (hit and run involving death, or whatever), what is the typical sentence issued by a court? That should be the recommended sentence in the current case.

Human system — Have a judge look at the case, the evidence, the verdict from the AI systems, and the sentencing recommended by the AI systems. If the human judge thinks that a legal travesty has occurred, or that the AI system is hallucinating, then the human judge can issue a different sentence — but the judge must explain in a written statement, in detail, why the AI system got it wrong. And higher judges should be empowered to impeach lower judges who reveal themselves as Political Activists who ignore valid AI results.

It means that the perp has likely gotten away with Felony Death by Vehicle (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-141.4(a1)): Applies when a death results from driving while impaired (DWI).

“ My last Trump ballot had 10 judges listed on the back. All commies. All uncontested.”

My general counsel explained this to me. A great lawyer in private practice makes 7 figures. A good in-house counsel makes $500k or more. A judge in state court is lucky to break $100k.

You get a handful of senior lawyers who still take a judgeship in their near retirement or retirement years, but it’s mainly bad and mediocre lawyers who have no other job prospects who become judges. There are exceptions, but not a lot.

This judge is a DEI loser who probably barely graduated and barely passed the bar.

Judge: It was just a gay guy and he wasn’t in my family.
