i don’t understand even if she couldn’t stop it, which she could of, you don’t drive into people, you drive on the road, and eventually slam into another car or go into a tree etc…I find it hard to believe you can lose control of a car thats going what? 60-80mph and if it was going 100+ enough to lose control of she would have flipped it and rolled not driven straight into people and continue up into a church… She should go to jail for a long long long time

its a 30mph road.

@Vovchandr

Am I the only one that’s sick of seeing people kill other people, blame it on whatever the stupid reason they can come up with and somehow it’s accepted as “oh ok” instead of one being charged with manslaughter? Especially in the case where she kills 3 people?

What…the…F$#K?!

Just like when bikers get taken out by drivers not seeing them or just not following the rules.

Or like the recent article where the guy couldn’t figure out how to stop his “runaway Ford”.

:facepalm

Me too, I just cant see how they dont charge her, and the old man that killed the 14yr old last weekend up in Mayfield too. Its an open and shut case, grab the gavel by the balls and slam that shit down…

New York Penal - Article 125.xx (there are many variances)

what i see she fits is:

§ 125.13 Vehicular manslaughter in the first degree.

A person is guilty of vehicular manslaughter in the first degree when he or she commits the crime of vehicular manslaughter in the second degree as defined in section 125.12 of this article, and either: (paraphrased)

(short and sweet version)

1. Has a BAC of .18 or higher;
2. Is driving with a suspended or revoked license;
3. Has a prior conviction of DUI; or
   4. Causes the death of more than one person.

Conviction of this crime results in a Class C felony.

/\ 1.5-10 years

&

New York Penal - § 125.15 - Manslaughter in the Second Degree

§ 125.15 Manslaughter in the second degree.
A person is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree when:
1. He recklessly causes the death of another person; or
2. He commits upon a female an abortional act which causes her death,
unless such abortional act is justifiable pursuant to subdivision three
of section 125.05; or
3. He intentionally causes or aids another person to commit suicide.
Manslaughter in the second degree is a class C felony.

/\ another 1.5-10

The vehicular manslaughter laws look like bullshit. Basically if you aren’t drunk, high, have a valid license and no prior DUI conviction you can mow down one person and not get charged with it. :banghead

thats retarded

@swaiknow

i was there. they are thinking either texting, talking on the phone, meds, or just not paying attention/doing something else. They did find a flip-flop, but when speaking with the sheriff he didn’t really seem to buy the whole story. She drove that 1/2 mile trip 5 days a week. So it is likely she was not paying attention. The way she went into the church, it was a straight shot. Off the road, through the parking lot hitting the people. then hitting the church. She took off the entire passenger front suspension, control arms, shock, wheel, axel, everything. She had to have hit that building pretty fucking hard. It was really strange and creepy being at the scene behind the yellow tape like a half hour after the took the bodies away. Either way, she fucked up. EVEN IF the accelerator got stuck somehow, the car still steers. There is no reason for her to go in a straight line if she was paying attention.

There better be a follow up to this shit then. I didn’t buy the flip flop shit as soon as I read it and I had nothing to do with the interaction other than reading that… just common sense tells me its a retarded cop out for something else the driver was truly negligent for. And just looking on google maps shows you a decent direction of travel… she went straight as an arrow just past the driveway with the little ledge on the right there and headed right for them/the church… for quite a while!
