Amarillo, Texas --State police investigators recommended that a Colorado senator be charged with criminally negligent homicide, tampering with physical evidence and injury to a child in a crash that killed a pregnant Amarillo woman..
A grand jury declined to charge Sen. Suzanne Williams. Troopers then cited Williams on suspicion of having an unsecured passenger under 17, having a child under 8 unsecured by a safety seat system and driving on the wrong side of the highway.
...
Williams' son, Todd Williams, and his 3-year-old son were ejected from the vehicle. They were seriously injured.
"While on scene Suzanne (Williams) told me that no one had been ejected from her vehicle and that everyone was extracted from the vehicle by rescue," a state trooper said in an offense report obtained by the newspaper. "Suzanne failed to inform me of the truth of the events that had taken place before anyone arrived on scene."
Investigators determined that Williams picked up her 3-year-old grandson from the highway and placed him in a child safety seat inside her car before emergency help arrived.
...
The case garnered national attention in part because Williams is a staunch advocate of child-restraint laws in Colorado, but DPS investigators said none of Williams' passengers were buckled up.

No party mention? Must be an evil Mennonite.
Williams first public statement after the accident only expressed how traumatic it was for her and her family- not one word about the women she killed or their family’s grief.
Williams was a vociferous crusader for seat belt laws but her kids were unbuckled- then she lets her son take the blame.
Williams tried to cover up the accident scene by strapping her injured kid back in the car seat after the accident, and then lied to investigators.
Williams, after telling detailed accounts to a friend, conveniently then claimed she couldn’t remember anything before, during or after the crash.
If this had been Tom Tancredo do you think the DP would have left that damning info out of their story?

Very sad story
There is no punishment worse than having to live with what happened.
Tragic
What a sick comment - is that really the first thing you thought of when you read the story?
I feel sorry for you

Wiki: “Suzanne Williams is a Democratic legislator in the U.S. state of Colorado. Williams is beginning her second term as State Senator for District 28 after serving eight years in the Colorado House of Representatives. Senator Williams, a Democrat, is the only registered American Indian state legislator in Colorado.”
That's one heck of a grandma.
She is a Democrat - hence, no charges. But, at least, she is sorry.
She is also a fake Indian-—like Ward Churchill
Well, it certainly was the first thing he typed.
The first thing he thought? Only 'Raycpa' (and apparently you) knows for certain what his first (or subsequent thoughts) were before posting.
After receiving the DPS findings [ a charge of criminally negligent homicide, a felony ] , 69th District Attorney David Green opted to have the grand jury determine whether to issue an indictment.
Prosecutors have two other options - either file charges or reject the case.
I doubt that a democrat would get any kind of special treatment in this neck of the woods.
Unfortunately it was mine too..........and I was right.....Democrat
Prayers for the family..........
There is no punishment worse than having to live with what happened.
How about the punishment of being charged and punished for the crimes she committed and having to live with what happened?
She is white and a republican.
