It's heartwarming to see someone of this ilk getting her come uppance. My question is, why wasn't she charged with attempted vehicular homicide?

[dogbyte12]

because she got special treatment. If this was a poor person, white, black, brown or whatever, they would have been nailed. She is rich, so she gets a sweet heart deal.

Money talks...

[Clemenza]

I would like to see them send this B-tch to Bedford, where Shatrice and Umoja will treat her "like a princess."

[Pern]

If this had been a poor black kid, or an average Joe like me, I'd be spending YEARS in jail...

You got that right, once again the elite of Amerika are not held accountable.

Grubman, the daughter of entertainment attorney Allen Grubman, was one of Manhattan's highest-profile publicists, with clients that at times included singer Britney Spears, rappers Jay-Z and Wu-Tang Clan, and Sony Music Chairman Tommy Mottola.

One of the things this article didn't mention was that the Mercedes SUV that Grubman was driving belonged to her father, not her. The definition of a thoroughly mediocre industry is one in which one of "Manhattan's highest-profile" names is a 31 year-old snot who still drives Daddy's car around.

in today's society, i think the punishment is more 'lawsuit' than 'jail-time'. while i think a hefty 20 years is in order, she'll be dogged by lawyers for a long, long time

[glock rocks]

LOL... and she'll leave with Lizzie the Grub tattoos.

[Alberta's Child]

If she were not a rich white broad from Manhattan, this story would have been buried on page 93 of the newspaper.

I'll bet she doesn't call anyone 'white trash' in the slammer!

I'll bet she doesn't call anyone 'white trash' in the slammer!

Well, maybe once... ;~)

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

BTW, she is ugly.

We had this situation in Cincinnati, however, the Joe Lunchbox that did the plowing didn't mean to do it. Unlike Grubman, he was just drunk. He got 14 1/2 years.

If she was sober, than it was at least Murder II. If drunk -- well I don't know the law, but I think being drunk while commiting a crime should be a special circumstance, and should get a stiffer sentence.

[Constitution Day]

That would be all it would take.
But you never know... she may turn out to be the "butch" one.

She ain't exactly the most feminine person:

[TankerKC]

This is a travesty.

Ditto.

[LarryLied]

Al Sharpton just got a Christmas present. Wonder if he will use it.

[evolved_rage]

Any relation to Jack Grubman, who resigned from Salomon Smith Barney last week ?

[majic12]

Don't worry: A GUILTY PLEA is going to open up the floodgates on the lawsuits. That is something, the average person wouldn't have to worry about, but the GRUBMAN's do.

Another new drink: The Bloody Lizzie

Mix: Vodka, tomato juice, a pound of flesh and a pound of white trash in a blender.
Hit the reverse button.
Don't turn off blender until white trash has been beaten to a bloody pulp.
