Clear case of car violence. Where's the call to restrict car ownership?

She wasn't drunk enough to be oblivious to her actions in killing two people. She was sober enough to understand directions in walking the line and the rest of the DUI tests. She was sober enough to remember school, the DUI Club, her birthday, etc.

She is pure evil, she was shorted empathy, concern, solace when God was handing them out.

Yes, and some of the commenters on youtube were trying to excuse her behavior by saying she was "blackout drunk". She was able to hold a conversation and even be offended that the police officer said her behavior was shameful. She knew what was going on.

What it comes down to, I think, is that this little slunt was spoiled for her entire life and had never before suffered consequences of any kind.

Can you imagine this psycho being a mother? She's the kind who might end up killing her kids. I'll tell you something else- prison just might have saved her life, but not because it stopped her from drinking and driving. Someone who is so unreasonable and cold- a boyfriend or husband might have offed her. Someone that unfeeling and unreasonable- yeah, I can see her getting iced via "domestic violence".

Naturally, the university wanted to distance itself from this cold-blooded murderer, so, no graduation for you, baby, in or out of jail.

The answer should have been "I'm guessing 10 years from now. Maybe 20."

This article has more info on the resolution of the case.

She could have gotten 28 years, but the judge gave her 14. She has to serve 85% of the sentence (assuming before she eligible for parole.)

I don't understand why some people get more time in prison than others for this sort of incident. I friend/coworker of mine, his son, got 72 years I believe for his killing of 5 people. He posted on some website how drunk/stoned he was prior to driving and then decided to get more drinks at a bar somewhere in our county. While driving his truck, he rear ended a car while he was doing 97 mph,that was stopped at a red light with innocent occupants and killed all but one. Any death due to dui should have an automatic sentence of life with no parole. Too many bleeding hearts that don't want to see people in jail for too long.

I responded to a mvc vs pedestrian years ago and the drunk driver killed the pedestrian, left the scene of the accident and the mother of the driver called 911 to report the accident. The driver was x1.5 over the legal limit and the pedestrian was x2. I thought this woman was gonna serve some serious time but was let off with only x2 years probation, no jail time because the judge/d.a./her lawyer argued that the pedestrian was more drunk than she was and the sentence was decided that way. UNBELIEVABLE!

In my small mountain former mining town, that sort of thing used to happen. I don’t know how many miscreants were lynched when the rest of the citizenry had had enough due to ineffectual law enforcement and judicial inaction, but it was several.

Now, though? If were going to happen again in modern times, I believe it would have started some time ago, but it will be interesting to see if I live long enough for these predictions to be realized.

It may come back sometime soon...
People seem to be getting sick of what's not happening.

"Street Justice" has been meted out a time or two in my little town as well, and not the dope dealer shot because he shorted another dope dealer who shot him the week before. But detective case loads, court cases, forensics... Things might get lost or messed up in the mix when there's a shooting every 2:26 and a homicide every 11:56, especially in an area with the "Didn't see nuffin" attitude.

My landlord died last year as a result of a DUI driver. My landlord was on his bike and the guy plowed into him from behind. He got 25 years.

I can’t tell you how many DWI wrecks I worked…and that was why I was rabid about finding and locking up drunk drivers.

I once charged a city employee with DWI when he got run over by his own car as other shitbags were stealing it from him. I got to testify on the stand that none of this would have happened if Mr. X hadn’t been drunk while driving…all the suffering Mr. X had gone thru, the loss of his truck etc.
He had fallen asleep at the wheel and his foot slid off the brake and he slid forward and struck a fence and some guys walking by car jacked him.

Judge agreed with me and found him guilty. Lost his license for a year and his city job.

I hate drunk drivers.

DUI just needs to be harshly punished the very first time. If somebody dies, it should be life without parole.

A local man and his bride were hit leaving their wedding by a drunk driver doing over 65 in a 25 zone. She was killed, he was seriously injured and has brain damage. Two others in the vehicle were also badly injured.

Tragic and should never happen.

That was difficult to watch.

Yeah, she was drunk, but her complete indifference to killing 2 people is horrific to see.

Another one of these DUI shitbags killed a bride minutes after her wedding driving 65 in a 25 zone.

Another little spoiled entitled Twerk Tok "influencers".

Drop her in also.

This happened in my area. I'm friends with two of the firemen who responded to this call. She hit them so hard that the males leg was in her grill and the females leg was in the ditch a number of yards down the road in the ditch.

One of my fireman friends attempted CPR on the female and blood came out of her ears and her chest went to the ground when he tried CPR. I hope she burns in hell.

Her picture needs to be next to the definition of Sociopath in every dictionary. Holy shit

It would be poetic justice if, on her release, she walked straight under a bus.

Wow, you couldn't make that up.
Back in the early seventies my aunt and uncle were killed by a drunk driver, while my grandmother and two other aunts spent weeks in an ICU.
The driver had 5 previous DUIs. Drunken driving has never been taken seriously.

this is from 2020, but it looks to me like this should happen more

I looked her up on the Illinois inmate search. They have her listed as white. I would say hispanic given her appearance and last name of Melgoza. I bring this up because the media throws race into everything and has been known to classify people as white when clearly they are not.

Anyway, F this B|T(H

As one of the very few openly admitted former pro drunks on the forum, I have a few thoughts and comments.

I only did a breathalyzer once, and it was when I was admitted to rehab. I had been told to drink as normal until I came in to stave off withdrawals that, by then, could have killed me. I was at about my normal morning buzz. I was a .28 or so. I was lucid, I was coherent, I had no trouble walking, interacting, or following instructions.

I know we don't comment on appearances, but alcoholism writes itself on your body, and her young body already had a booze belly. That she had an open bottle of Tito's in the car, was "just getting started" and was planning to kick off her birthday with two Long Islands... ladies and gentlemen, she drank the way I did.

A word about blackouts: It's not like you become someone else. You're still you, and you still do the things you'd do while drunk. It's just that you're effectively on autopilot, and when you "come to," anything that happened in that time was never written to memory. It's like it never happened. It can, and often does get used as an excuse by drunks to absolve us of the shit we did while blacked out. However, in all honesty, myself and the people I know who've gotten sober and honest to a completely ego-deflating degree about it will tell you that nothing that happens in a blackout is something you'd never do drunk or sober. It's not like Fight Club and you suddenly become Tyler Durden, you're still you, you just aren't even along for the ride.

I'm incredibly grateful I never killed anyone. To the best of my knowledge, I never caused an accident, and I never saw evidence of any collision on my vehicles. I know people who did kill people while drinking, with vehicles and otherwise, and I cannot tell you the depth of pain and shame I've seen on their faces and heard in their voices. Some of these people have had decades of processing and trying everything they can to make it right.

I do see alcoholism in this one. I also see something else that I don't see in the garden variety drunks I know. I see total apathy. This one is a sociopath or a psychopath. She'll do it again. It may seem hypocritical, but I think the penalties for driving impaired should be many times harsher than they are. I think had she been a hysterical crying mess afterwards for what she did, 28 years in prison may have been about appropriate. I think the total lack of feeling says something far more dangerous. If the laws are meant to protect society and keep order, keeping people like this around is anathema to the core of that aim.

I wonder if her apathy comes from in part living life virtually. This girl and the link to the other dui girl that killed the Bride looked to be heavy into social media. I wonder if living on social media has caused people to disconnect and so everything is not real. I wonder if when this girl was told she killed two people, she shrugged it off because her life falls into categories of what will be posted on social media and what will not be posted. Killing two people was simply something that would not be posted to social media.
I am just rambling here, but I think we have a crisis with society and the way we value other people. People say horrible things to each other online with no consequences. So when they do something bad in real life, oh well there are no consequences until there are.
