Come on Guys and Gals, I only expressed an opinion on "an Accident!" I agree 100% that "if you do the crime you do the time." That is NOT what I was saying. Do you hang a person who steals a loaf of bread to feed a faimly?" (only an expression!) I only wanted you to think about "what punishment fits the crime!" Was the "crime" intentional? Was it premeditated? Was there intent to do harm? Did she plan to smash into the island? Did she intend to kill her friend? No! None of the above. It's not like she was "Sharon Tate," or "Lizzy Borden." She was just (irregardless of her social statue, and financial situtation) a gal out with friends, to pull a simple harmless prank on her Dad, that took a Tragic turn in a split second. It could happen to any one of us..just think about that, for one minute. Now ask yourself, "What good is it going to do, to put her in jail?" Even the family of the poor gal killed, think she should not be sent to jail. IF she intentionally caused and planned to cause that accident, then yes, send her to jail. But it would do ALL of us better justice, if she spent time, speaking to the youth of the Lakes Region about the irreversible loss (the death of her friend and the disfigurement of herself) that misjudgemnet and yes, drinking causes, it may make them possibly "Think" before they make the same mistakes. That was all I was trying to say!
As far as her "wealth and the cost of an attorney," give me a break! Lawyers are traditionally crooks! Here's a fact for you. I have been involved in a dispute with my home town, over a neighbor who built a home 12 feet off my lot line with a 20 side line requirement, using six forged and altered "certified Plot plans," added three additions without any building permits or plans, was allowed to do it by the town's building inspector (who has been "terminated," last year for other misdoings). The Town refused to even look at the forged documents and allowed him to do it. Now that the fraud has been "brought to light," by my suit, I have been fighting over 11 years to get it before a judge, ( because the town keeps appealing decisions) and has cost me well over $20,000 thus far, for something that never should have happened. All I do is shell out money to an attorney. ANY court issue that involves a lawyer will cost you a fortune, let alone a criminal case. Answer this question, "How much money are YOU willing to spend to defend YOURSELF!"
As far as was I being "smart," when I stated it was never mentioned, NO I wasn't trying to be smart. I just had not been very active on the forum (due to health reasons the past couple years) and missed all the "gossip," about the trial. I am not the type of person who would make any "smart," or sarcastic comments about our beloved forum. I apologize if I offended anyone for stating my personal opinion. Next time I'll know better than to open my mouth.
