AMARILLO, Texas -- A prosecutor says the Colorado state senator involved in a crash that killed a pregnant woman in the Texas Panhandle last year has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of driving on the wrong side of the road.
Sen. Suzanne Williams paid a $200 fine and $68 in court costs, according to Hartley County Attorney Shane Turner. The Amarillo Globe-News reported Friday that Texas law allowed for the dismissal of two seat-belt citations against Williams.

State police investigators had recommended that Williams be charged with criminally negligent homicide, tampering with physical evidence and injury to a child in a crash that killed a pregnant Amarillo woman
...
"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 ... Suzanne failed to inform me of the truth of the events that had taken place before anyone arrived on scene," a state trooper said in an offense report obtained by the Amarillo Globe-News newspaper.
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.

We are no longer a nation of laws. Now we have a privileged class that is given a pass, where any of us commoners would face serious jail time. This is just an outrage.
Will she be adding “Killer” to her official state senate web site list of ‘accomplishments?’
Looks like she got away with it.
“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 — including her two young grandsons — were buckled up.”
Do as I say, not as I do.
It doesn’t say she’s a Republican within the first paragraph.
Obviously a rat?
The FR jury renders a verdict of guilty.
No mention of party in title, subtitle, first sentence, or first paragraph...therefore its a democrat.
Fined 268 $'s? For killing two people? An acquaintance of mine was fined 250 $'s for going 25-30 mph over the speed limit.
I hope that lady’s family sues the hell outta that witch....takes her for everything she’s got. This is one time I’d be in the wings cheering them on! This is outrageous!
Oh $%^&* and $%)#@#
200 bucks, for killing someone?
Ridiculous.
I was fined that for lack of insurance, despite having insurance.
GRRR.
Wasn’t she drunk?
i believe she was talking to a child in the back seat which is as bad as texting in terms of concentration. i wonder how many of us “little people” could skate on killing 2 people?
Per the article, the Texas DPS recommended she be charged with criminally negligent homicide. But, the grand jury chose to not indict her.
There’s not much information about what actually happened, other than she drifted across the center line into oncoming traffic. Maybe she was distracted, maybe she fell asleep.
However, her grandkids weren’t secured in the vehicle. Her son and one of the grandkids were actually ejected from the vehicle and seriously injured. She lied to investigators about it, even putting the grandkid back into the car and into the car seat he wasn’t originally riding in.
See, when a Democrat lies, it's for the sake of the children. Otherwise the evil Republicans would take over and starve the poor. Omelets and eggs.
Yep .... Following this close as my boss is the victims cousin. He keeps us posted aS to progress or lack of in the case .......
This socialist rat polidiot escaped prison in Texas but will be judged ultimately by god ......
This just cannot be the end of it.....it just can’t be. :(
Sadness an anger here ..... Grateful for the ping.
