Momentary lapses in focused operation lead to a death. The series of events in this accident should give us all the chance to reflect on ourselves. Many like to judge the actions of this case. I prefer to feel bad for all involved and would look to improve my own awareness as I control machinery and equipment around others. How do you keep alert and lasor forcussed 100% of the time? How easy is it to take things for granted that we have done hundreds of times and got "over confident"? We can all be judged after an event but what can we do to keep hightened awareness?
These are the questions and challenge I am placing on my own activities based on this case and much of the testomony from all of you.

This trial is all about money. More specifically, it is about Erica trying to avoid a large judgement in Civil Court for causing the death of Stephanie B. Unfortunately, she was found guilty of negligence by a jury of her peers and she now will face the consequences which will likely include both jail time and a subsequent monetary judgement.
