racist or not, the lady needs to be prosecuted. She was stupid to be driving under the influence of drugs AND alcohol. And she was using that as a defense of her actions??? "It's not my fault, i was driving drunk and messed up on ecstasy." (paraphrased)
Send her through the justice system, and if she does not end up at least behind bars for 10-20 then there is no justice in this case.

OK, I have a question.... Lets say she is tried for murder, and by some miracle is found not guilty. Can she be tried again for involuntary manslaughter or something or DUI? what will happen if she is found not guilty? Can they prosecute her for something else?

But she could be sued in civil court by the family of the victim, like OJ. Or in a different jurisdiction, like for some federal crime, like the Rodney King cops.

from my understanding, nothing directly related to the murder charge could go. so manslaughter is out.
however, they could do D.U.I., posession of an illegal substance, hit and run, leaving the scene of a crime, etc..
I believe it's Hammurabi's code wherein any crime commited while intoxicated automatically carried a more severe penalty. Smart guy, that Hammurabi -- only took us the better part of a century to figure out the same thing. Can you imagine that, as little as 30 years ago, drunkedness was on the books as a successful defence of rape?

Naw. They could swing reckless homocide. I think that's worse?

What are the laws in her state for killing someone while DUI? Any good sam. laws there? How about inhumane treatment laws? Drug use laws? And truthfully, she had him in her car, she could have driven him to the hospital or called 911 and saved his life and chose not to. Murder.
[quote] BRussell, put 2 and 2 together. I was referring to income tax refunds. I especially don't understand income redistribution when the recipients use the money to buy drugs or indulge themselves in crime.

Why? Why is he not angry? Why does he care why she did what she did? What is there to understand? Does he really believe she would tell the truth if he got a chance? This article makes it sound like all he cares about is getting a big pile of money and he could care less otherwise. I hope that is not the case.

This is why we have the death penalty. It's for sick and twisted people like this. Don't bother to try to justify it, I don't want to hear it. This woman doesn't deserve to live one more day. Don't mess with Texas.

If it was me, and my father had been killed in this manner, I'd want to get in close to within arms reach. You'd be suprised what you can do to another human being, and how quickly, with just your hands.
Of course, I do not advocate him taking the law into his own hands; the wheels of justice are going to ground this woman to dust and bully for justice.

2. She is/was a NURSE of some kind, or attended nursing school.
Burn her down.

Tax refunds have nothing to do with income redistribution. They are merely a return of a tax overpayment.
More to the point this story is just horrible. I just can't even get my head around it.
<strong>Can they prosecute her for something else?</strong><hr></blockquote>Well, it happened. The victim's son sued the woman in civil court.

The case is now a murder case.
If conficted she wont get 10-20, she could be executed.

1) If you would RTFA you would see that he tried to keep close with his father.
2) This "human being" might very well get off with 5 years prison, she needs to be ruined for the rest of her life.
3) He is not going to get a pile of cash from her. He's not taking Bill Gates to court, genius, use your brain cells.
