She's gonna plead guilty. Now let's see what the sentence is.

Looks like she's going to get hit pretty good. Still makes me mad, though. I've ridden that ride several times, and it brings it close to home. Hope the families find some comfort in all this.

Thanks for the update. Keep us informed at sentencing if you can.

If justice is blind, she will get a fair shake, if its not and the judge has sympathy for us cyclists, (not blind if he should favor us)...ah I just hope she is young enough to turn her own life around.....

Even if she gets serious jail time, I wouldn't strike this up as a victory for cyclists. This particular incident is very different from most bike/car collisions. In most bike/car crashes, much of the evidence is the testimony of the cyclist and drivers - and in many cases, only one of them is still alive to testify.
In this case, there are many damning facts which are not in dispute, and there really is no argument about fault. Given the facts (no driver's license, positive tests for at least 3 illegal drugs, dozens of witnesses including a police officer), it doesn't matter whether she killed cyclists, pedestrians or other motorists, she's going to get a serious punishment. |

This is just a tragedy all around. I cannot imagine what I would do if I lost my wife because of a driver like that. Or if one of my kids did something that irresponsible and I lost them to jail. Just awful. I hope there is a deterrent aspect to this for other drivers.

I don't think deterrence works all that well.... Especially not with kids. Unless you mean deterrence against re offense- by throwing the offender in prison so they CANT reoffend. I do believe in that, and it seems like a good measure in this instance. This was a pretty blatant disregard for rules and the lives of those around her... A slap on the wrist would likely result in her killing more people again in the near future.

I don't know if this woman was naturally a sociopath, or if the drugs she was taking made her that way. The cops really should have taken the earlier incident that day more seriously.

Whoever gave her a prescription for fentanyl should be jailed as well.... or at least sued mercilessly!

What makes you think it was by Rx? I had a friend die from 'perscription' drug OD, and none were from a Rx. BUT for her, could have been, but doubt it. She didn't seem smart enough to 'doctor shop'.

I almost rode this ride that day - so I've been following this whole horrifying ordeal. I can't imagine a way they give her less than the minimum sentence for one of the manslaughter charges. The family is quoted as saying that they'd be happy with the sentence if the deal she took is the one they were told was being offered. |
