I can't imagine what she did.I imagine the horror and fear but not driving home,parking and doing nothing.

[basil]

Hey guys--she said she's sorry--even cried about it. What more can we possibly want? C-c-c-c-an't we just move along?/sarcasm

[Howlin]

For at least a day! Imagine!

She said that she just finally quit going out to the garage to see if he was still alive -- it was pretty upsetting to her.

She isn't a nurse. She is a nurses aide. You can be certified in as little as 3 weeks. CNAs must pass a criminal check and most places won't even consider hiring if someone has had a felony in the last 10 years. Most CNA's are doing a fine (back aching) physically hard job and barely getting minimum wage but they do it because they love their residents. The state very well may pull her certification because of this. I doubt if she will be hirable after she does her time, anyway.

I wuz thinkin'of that!

Her use of two illegal substances and illegal abuse of of one legal substance becomes her defense.

There will be some here on FR that will agree with that defense.

Like the Pro-Choice single agenda of many Democrat women, illegal substance abuse can never have consequenses.

If it does, it is your fault.

Being in a drug induced haze is hardly an excuse.

Recently, there was a local case where a young woman killed a pedestrian while she was driving under the influence.. Yet she was sentenced to only six months in jail. Strange.

She should get the needle.

Unfortunately, I don't think her charges are written in such a way as to make that possible.

If they had been, I'd call her a fool for taking a jury trial (actually, I still might). A judge might confine his actions to within the narrow scope of the law. A jury is going to want to crucify this woman if they can.

[sweetliberty]

Unlikely without premeditation.

[Howlin]

I know that; I'll settle for life.

[Howlin]

The people inside the courtroom today said that when they showed the pictures of the man, the jurors were REPULSED.

[Howlin]

And she cried about it again today. I saw her. In fact, every time I see her, she's crying.

She must be really, really sorry. Let's let her go.

[CindyDawg]

Not to get off subject here, but wanted to let you know that I mailed my membership today.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks ! I've added you to the ping list.

She should live in the trunk of a Buick.

Down by the river.

For a while.

Did she keep him on the hood of her car in her garage while he bled out?

[mombonn]

She should get the needle.

Preach it, sister! The lack of outrage in the liberal media really infuriates me.

#38 post

a classic!

Love to see those booze & drive deals the cops do and televise run with marijuana, but it ain't gonna happen.

[MEG33]

What was she doing when she let him bleed to death inside her garage but premeditating his demise.A nurses aid has enough knowledge for that.I know she didn't mean to hit him,so it's a stretch.That's why she is on trial for felony murder though.

[harpseal]

I really do not know the symptoms of this drug. I have neither sampled it nor looked it up. in any case no one forced her to take this so it is not a defense.

[csvset]

No, but she killed a person while driving drunk. I was surprised that she got away with just six months in jail for killing someone.
