an expert for the defense testified there was evidence that Bennett swerved into Shelton's lane What? Her drunken double vision straightened out for a second so it looked like the guy to her left, swerved in front?

“During Shelton’s trial, an expert for the defense testified there was evidence that Bennett swerved into Shelton’s lane. An expert for the prosecution, however, said there wasn’t evidence that Bennett got in her way.”
Fair is fair, if the guy swerved into her lane then he’s partially liable for his own injuries, her being drunk or not.

Why doesn’t the court throw this out and not even consider it? Hell.....SCOTUS does this all the time.

Shelton, her family and the family of the boyfriend who was killed are suing for $20,000 for the destruction of the Lexus SUV she was driving and an undetermined amount for mental anguish, pain and suffering. I'm thinking this is not a very good idea. The 21 year-old dingbat may have no assets and may be "judgement-proof" in civil court, but a counter-suit against her family could bankrupt them.
This is why -- despite the rank dishonesty of it -- it always makes sense to feign an injury at the scene of an accident . . . just in case the other driver is 100% at fault but files a lawsuit like this anyway.

They should have thrown her in jail for much longer.
Isn’t she the one who bragged upon arrest that her daddy was a judge and she’d get off?

So you are saying a huge truck changes lanes, soon enough to BE in the lane she was in, and THEN she rear ends him?
Still her fault in any court of law not presided over by her father. She was still drunk driving AND the accident was her fault.

The article doesn’t mention that the judge had the vehicle’s data recorder stolen from the Lexus. Someone in the comment section did.

and the courts allow this kind of crap lawsuit to go on the dockets....

well if that truck hadn't of been there....

No, a shill for the defense claims there is evidence that Bennet swerved into her lane. She was drunk and has no clue. She should still be in jail, that’s what is not fair.

I've noticed that 10-12 yrs is average for DUI vehicular homicide. She got off so easy.
