Horrible act but too much time. I was against anything over 20 years. She is certain to appeal and get it reduced. I hope she does.

I have seen no mercy shown to a dying,helpless man.

[Jeff Head]

I hope she does not...for obvious reasons. She let the man die, willfully let him die while stuck in her windshield. Drove him home and parked him in the garage that way and left him to bleed to death...and then helped people dispose of the body like he was so much trash.

You'd have her get 20 with parole in 10?

Sorry, but that doesn't fit my idea of justice for what she did.

Just my opinion.

Well what it boils down to is this. This man's life was less important to this woman than her desire to hide her condition while driving. Teddy, are you listening?

If this was my relative I'd want her to fry. She's damn lucky in my book.

[glock rocks]

not a flame, just curious. why not over 20 years?

[PISANO]

Yeah right, maybe just a year probation and mandatory drug treatment would have been about right!! < /sarcasm >

I cannot fathom why you would think she deserved only twenty years.

I can think of of very few crimes where the guilty person and others, showed a more heinous disregard for a man's life.

She heard him moaning, then left him crumbled up in the front seat of her car, his body distorted, apparently from broken limbs.

Her brother (or brother-in-law) is a paramedic, she could easily have called him. Had she done so, he may have survived.

Hitting the victim was an accident, but to coldly allow him to suffer a slow agonizing death was a cold callous disregard for a human being.

I don't think she should fry for this but it seems to me the 25-30 years that she will serve is a tad light.

"I was against anything over 20 years."

Why?

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

You should volunteer to serve part of her sentence. I hope you do.

I'll go for just twenty hours, so long as she spends it bleeding to death with her head in a car windshield all alone in a locked garage.

. . . But geez, that would be cruel, wouldn't it?

[fml]

Why? 20 years for letting someone bleed to death stuck in your windshield, your certainly nicer than I am.

Horrible act but too much time.

Incredible statement!

>>Horrible act but too much time. I was against anything over 20 years. She is certain to appeal and get it reduced. I hope she does.<<

I'm all over the fence on this one. Sentancing is really messed up. Hit a guy on a Motorcycle, get sued for 34million, get out in 6 months, kill someone in cold blood get 25 years, eligable in 18, etc. The laws are very inconsistant.

[BamaDi]

and that's basically what i just posted....i really believe it should have been 20 with parole at 10....but like i said, i'm a softie but i truly believe she was genuinally sorry about this....i'm sure i'll have my a$$ chewed about what i wrote and what i feel but hey, that's what this site is all about, right?

[SoulStorms]

..for murder??

[graycamel]

Actually I think she didn't really commit murder and it might be overturned. She should have been convicted of manslaughter and gross negligence resulting in death, which I believe should warrant execution in the electric chair.
