I stated in our first interaction that I do not think she would have gotten a harsh sentence if she had chosen to drive legally; if she had demonstrated (as society has asked all drivers to do) that she is capable of operating a motor vehicle in a safe manner before accessing the public roads. She failed to do that, which made her presence on the road, behind the wheel of a vehicle, illegal.

She CHOSE to not get a license.

She CHOSE to conceive several children out of wedlock with an obviously unstable and unsupportive man, whose subsequent abandonment left her in an untenable predicament.

She CHOSE to drive illegally.

She CHOSE to pull out of the street infront of the motorcycle.

She CHOSE to accept the plea bargain.

She CHOSE to violate the plea bargain.

She is now facing the culmination of a number of poor choices; changing any one of these would have changed her fate.

Actions have consequences.

Who do I feel sorry for?

Her CHILDREN, and the family of the motorcyclist who died. They didn't have a CHOICE.

I feel sorry for this country because there are so many people who don't know their rights.
