her plan was to get away with it
no matter how you cut it this lady left the scene after killing two children
if you hit a parked car and leave the scene.....you are going to jail
but for killing those two innocent babies she got probation I think it pretty sad
and I think the cool mom sentence was just as fucked up at the other end of the spectrum

Your "facts" are your interpretation of these events and are not so cut and dried.
Taking her side for a moment, consider:
-- she never was in trouble before.
--She was not driving like a bat out of hell (FHP determined her car was going 36-40mph in a 30 mph zone) and the next thing she knows her car has run over two kids in the street.
--She was a solo young white women in a predominately black neighborhood, at night.
Had they been faced with the same situation, many folks might have also freaked out and left the scene.
You fail also to consider that in the end, she did come forward. She could have never come forward. She could have denied, denied, denied and absconded to another jurisdiction. Plenty of people have done that before. Instead she came forward and accepted responsibility for her actions.
This is a tragic case, no doubt about it.
