Prayers for the families and the deceased.
When on the interstate, don’t stay in the left lane longer than you have to, especially at night.
After 30 years working in substance program direction and treatment, I heard many, many times from patients: I only had a dui, no big deal. Well here is again another case in Pensacola of a fatality associated with a dui and wrong way driving. Dui’s are plentiful as well as dangerous, but many people, even convicted offenders with more than one offense, just never see it that way, even when there is a serious accident involved.
@Aweful, it took so long because she was in the hospital herself. She came real close to dying herself. Not excusing what she did in any way. Just stating why it took so long.
@JTV
I can’t speak to this particular case (and neither can you, really) but I can guarantee you that your statement about catch and release in Escambia County is hyperbolic and uninformed.
She made her choice to drink and drive. Sad someone had to die because of her choice.
@JTV- She will get 15 years and likely do around 12 assuming she earns gain time.
DUI/manslaughter charges in Florida automatic time in prison usually around 12 years?
She I will not get off. She will go to prison most likely 12 years or more. Unless they have changed DUI manslaughter terms
I wonder why it took so long to complete the investigation.
Little Princess will get probation for her actions. Justice dies in Escambia County. Catch and release is their M.O.
This is a sad story for both families. One person gone and the other with a ruined life.
