You know, I REALLY want to root for the underdog in prison here but that article is not helping his case out in any way, shape or form. If ever there was an article that's blatantly biased and hamfisted, this is it. The commentators on there pretty much emulate the utter stupidity of the article as well with their bigoted and belligerent replies. One comment did catch my attention though: "Justice should be blind." Why yes. Yes it should and the people reporting it (or lack thereof) should be held to the same fucking standards.
Having said all that, I think that this girl should be tried as an adult for this. She was drunk as fuck and flipped a vehicle teetering on 6,000 lbs. effectively killing her friend. I can kind of picture how this went down too because I've witnessed 3 wrecks that went down identical to the description, although none of them resulted in an overturned vehicle. I think the driver of the Hyundai was making his U-turn and thus had to slow down. The girl came up behind him entirely too fast to slow down in time so she swerved suddenly to her left in order to avoid hitting the car while the car was already about to go into the U-turn and (perhaps?) the force of such a sudden banking turn caused the vehicle to overturn. I could be imagining this wrong but that's how I see it in my head and if, indeed, he was in his right to make the left turn legally, I don't see why he's even being held accountable for any of this.
It's really fucking frustrating reading this although most of that comes from the scumbag self-entitlement nature of the article but if this is all true, this is one FUCKED UP situation.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
