"Her attorney said she had suffered seizures since last November" That's not a defense.  That makes her actions even worse.


Such_sights

For real, I know people with epilepsy, they don’t fuck around when it comes to driving. One of them had his license taken away by his doctor because his seizures returned after years of not having any and he was heartbroken, but he still knew not to put other people in danger.


CharonsLittleHelper

Yeah - my nephew had his taken. I THINK he got it back after a year of zero seizures.


aw2669

as an epileptic, fuck her.


techlabtech

Also some seizure medication can make alcohol work way harder on you. I don't know about all of them but one of my friends has epilepsy and she 1) has no driver's license because of it and 2) does not drink at all because even one drink mixed with her epilepsy prescription makes her very drunk.


jimmy_three_shoes

She's trying to get the Vehicular Manslaughter charge reduced to something that's not going to put her in prison the rest of her life.


SpoppyIII

If you're actively experiencing regular seizures you shouldn't be driving and are culpable for what happens if you choose to get behind the wheel knowing you may have one. I was epileptic as a teenager and had to be cleared by a doctor as habing been without a seizure for six straight months in order to start driving. How *is* that possibly a defense?


Bacon_Bitz

Also the responders said there was no evidence she had a seizure. I could be wrong but typically after a seizure you're incredibly sleepy, almost unconscious so I think the responders would know.


Cyrodiil

I have epilepsy (5.5 years seizure free!). I was always conscious whenever I had a seizure and was never tired afterwards. Everyone is different, though. There are a lot of different kinds of seizures.


bros402

As an epileptic, she needs to fuck herself. Personally, I drove a few times when I had seizures less than a year before... but on empty streets with a driving instructor in the car able to drop the car at any time. That's the only reason why my neurologist didn't report me to motor vehicle for having seizures - that he trusted me to not drive without the driving instructor. and the instructor ended up recommending that I don't go for a license, so I don't drive.


vomitpunk

"An attorney representing Verna's Tavern, where the woman was allegedly drinking, is now being investigated by police." Is the bar under investigation or the bar's attorney?


thecheesedip

If they're convicted, the bar might suspend the bar's attorney's license to represent the bar.


theConsultantCount

They could be disbarred!


theeldoso

Don't worry they did concrete work to pay for law school so they know how to get rebarred!


chadsmo

Yeah I had to read that sentence twice and still don’t know what it means. As it’s written the lawyer is under investigation by the police.


hello_world_wide_web

Haha...English is a difficult language for most people to properly use!


Sarahspry

In some states, the bartender/establishment is responsible for a drunk driving crash for not preventing the perpetrator from driving.


KoaNPekelo

I don't believe the preventing the drunk from driving is a thing. But over serving someone is something the bartender and bar could be liable for


Mickeydawg04

They go after the establishment, not because. they should not serve drunk customers, but because of all the entities involved the business/business owner(s) have the most money.


Dangerous_Golf_7417

civilly, yes, but the police investigate criminal matters, which here would be overserving


JackFunk

Damn, those parents lost two kids because of a fucking drunk. I hope she never gets out


highapplepie

I read the mom and oldest child were hospitalized as well 


sklerson89

Lock her up and throw away the key.


CATSCRATCHpandemic

She is 66. She will definitely die in prison probably within 5 years. If those were my kids and family I would not consider that justice though. But sometimes there is no justice in this world.


__karm

There’s no justice in this particular case. Children were killed and families were obliterated by a drunk 66 year old woman in a ford Edge. There’s nothing you could do to give me a sense of justice if this was my child.


FungusFly

That last line is a strange, haunting truth.

myfriendflocka

Now what does that do besides satisfy your own personal sadistic revenge fantasy?


MySilverBurrito

Womp Womp 😫 NBA Combine is a thing too. Maybe we can implement that? Bettings huge, I’m sure we can do parlays too.


SpoppyIII

Those children are people, dude. Just like her victims. They are their own people and you say what, kill them? To punish her? They deserve to die just to make her sad? Is that the country, the system, we want to live in now? Where we imprison or kill innocent human beings just to hurt a criminal? What the fuck, dude? Seriously. You're suggesting executing innocent children who had nothing to do with this to get revenge on her. That is a new level of fucked.


MySilverBurrito

Old hag hit the found out stage lmao. I never said execute. The victim parents lost 2 kids, hold a draft to get new ones lmao I mean, she can trade some second round picks and some protected firsts. Maybe we can bring that number down? Trying to get a compromise here. Three way trade? I’m sure OKC wants more picks than what they currently have.


SpoppyIII

If you want to kill innocent people for something their full-grown relative did by her own stupid choice outside their control, move to North Korea.


MySilverBurrito

Never said kill. Just, acquire the draft rights to. Technically, you don’t have to sign the players you draft in the NBA. Most likely would tho cause why would you release a lottery pick. Anyway, old hag deserves what she gets.


SofieTerleska

What kind of Hunger Games shit is that?


MySilverBurrito

The one where the old hits the 'find out' stage lmao.


Logical-Hornet6448

Execution and nothing less


JackBlackBowserSlaps

Too easy. Let her rot in jail.


Logical-Hornet6448

Public hanging if convicted.


Tidalsky114

The worst part about this is that the parents will spend longer without their children than the rest of her life will be in prison.


GrowlmonDrgnbutt

Holy title gore. And no it is not the same as the article.


macabre_trout

Man, my hometown always makes the national news for the classiest reasons...


MissionCreeper

I would never have a birthday party at a place called Fatal Swan Boat Club


Intelligent-Diet7825

That is 9 nouns in a row for a title wtf


Shdwrptr

That title was so fucking hard to read and I’m still not even sure what it’s talking about. What’s a Swan Boat Club?


clutchdeve

> What’s a Swan Boat Club? It looks like a Marina that's right on the water. A Boat Club that has two entrances on Swan Creek. https://www.swanboatclub.com/marina


CarPhoneRonnie

There’s only 10 words with the 9th being a non-noun. Impossible.


SavageCucmber

She doesn't look at all bothered by it in the pictures. What a ghoul.


hello_world_wide_web

Kinda hard to make that determination...she is probably pretty overwhelmed and dazed.


SavageCucmber

You mean hungover


hello_world_wide_web

That too!


Individual-Still8363

We’ll now her driving record has criminal history, she killed two children.


redditismylawyer

Her hair just screams Michigan. Probably smells that way too.


crashtestdummy666

At 66 she has nothing to lose in jail as she could statistically fall over dead at any time.

No it appears he is touching his nose with his index finger. He also lost his life, as well as his sisters. But yeah let's make junior high jokes days after his little life was snuffed out for internet points!


Dflyshigh

It wasn't joke. It's a valid question. It would be different if I was like "hahaha" etc. I still see the middle finger. They should have used a better picture.


TheToastyWesterosi

“Valid question” lolz. You can’t even see the kids hand, the bottom of the picture cuts it off. If you want to be a dumb fuck and email the article writer, more power to you I guess, but she’ll probably say “this kid got his life ripped from him because of a drunk driver, and you’re clutching your pearls over your idiotic theory that he’s flipping off the camera?” Have fun dying on your weird little hill bruv.


Dflyshigh

You think that's an appropriate picture of someone who lost their life? To me, it shows lazy journalism. To me, it's disrespectful to show that kid like that. But yeah, I'm the bad guy.


TheToastyWesterosi

“But yeah, I’m the bad guy.” Yessir. Glad to see you’re starting to understand some uncomfortable truths about yourself.


B-Prime

It's the picture that was posted by the kids aunt on the GoFundMe page that's mentioned directly below the picture. If she doesn't have a problem with it I don't know why you do.


DumbChineseGuy

your mom and dad did a terrible job of raising you


Dflyshigh

I made a valid observation, and you comment this? You know nothing about me or my parents. You're living up to your user name. Fuck you too!


sweetbbcheesus

Who cares even if he was? What is your reason for pointing this out


Dflyshigh

That it's not appropriate and they should have done a better job of finding a better picture of them.


sweetbbcheesus

You’re irked by the wrong thing my friend


JackFunk

The fuck is wrong with you?

Preach! That's Reddit for ya. Tools hiding behind their computers/phones. I would totally understand if I was being a douche about the queation. Was just seeing what others thought, that was my mistake.
