SAN BERNARDINO - Florence Thompson was on her way home from work at Sears in 1996, when another vehicle crossed into her lane on Kendall Drive and slammed head-on into her car.

There were sounds of revving engines and a car racing with a truck on the rain-slicked road just before the crash, witnesses told police. Thompson survived but remained in a vegetative state for a decade.

Now, Monty Lyle Gill, of Rialto, the driver of the other vehicle in the crash, will be held to answer a charge of vehicular manslaughter, a judge ruled Thursday in San Bernardino Superior Court.

Thompson, 53, died in April after she was removed from life-support systems. Prosecutors subsequently filed the felony charge - 10 years after the April 1996 crash and after Gill had already pleaded no contest to a lesser charge in the case.

She was removed from "life-support systems" on March 29, and died eight days later on April 6. In other words, her husband (Michael ) had her starved and dehydrated to death about a year after Terri Schiavo, who suffered the same fate from March 18 to 31, 2005. Now the person who caused the injuries which made her vulnerable to her killers, is being charged with her unlawful killing.

A beautiful job of drawing the needed distinctions!

This idiot reporter never tells us about Thompson's injuries, never tells us if she was dehydrated to death and never has a glimmer that somebody else killed her. The D.A. is not far ahead of the reporter in intelligence. Between the two of them, they don't add up to the brains of a chicken.

>> Thompson said he talked with his church pastor, who visited his wife.

>> “He told me, 'Mike, she's gone. It's all up to you. I can't tell you what to do, but I can assure you, you are not committing a murder. You are allowing her to slip into the hands of the Lord.'”

Translation: Mike killed her. Editorial: the pastor is a frock-head.

Now they are going to ask the M.E. if the accident injuries killed her.
