This is what Erica said before her sentencing: "I couldn't possibly be punished more than the loss of my best friend and the anguish her family feels," she said. "All of this is secondary. I lost my best friend and that is something I will have to live with the rest of my life."

That comment from her brought tears to my eyes.

I have tried to stay away from any personal attacks against Erica and if I have said something to the contrary then I apologize.

I have some personal reasons for commenting about the accident but have tried to stay within the actual accident and not get personal. I feel she is a good person and I'm sure in time she will get her life back together.
