During the hearing there's a guy who's been a.member of this club for over 10 years. He admitted she was drinking there since he remembers and dozen of times they had to walk her out as she was so hammered. She crashed a car driving down the road. Another time she hit a.tree... This tragedy was just a matter of time.

And from what I've read, she is known as the town drunk.

If you have a known medical condition that causes you to lose consciousness randomly, states have statutes that address if you can continue to have your driving privilege & under what circumstances. Alcohol, and some other products, like benedryl, can lower the seizure threshold-meaning seizures can be triggered more easily.

@@user-vd2nh8fh9h NO you stated the very *opposite* - alcohol INCREASES the seizure threshold… it’s a medical fact! One’s tolerance raises cause the central nervous system adapts to it’s effects. Essentially the alcohol relaxes the CNS & in fact the impact is great. Alcohol _withdrawal_ lowers the seizure threshold! It all boils down to how one’s GABA receptors react. Clinical data does not suggest that alcohol drinking results in seizure genesis. Alcoholics who begin to feel withdrawal are especially a high risk & usually need to be put on benzos to reduce it. That might explain her other drug dependence as an epileptic which the DA brings up at 2:55

@@user-vd2nh8fh9hNot defending her cuz 2 innocent children died from her act. But you’re why ppl often can’t get a fair trial. I suffer from epilepsy so I know ….alcohol has a BIG effect to reduce seizures!

Yeah, and I wonder if the alcohol reduced the effectiveness of the meds...

@@shellys7660 Usually alcohol will intensify the side effects.

Her lawyer is saying a sort of “seizure” on her legs. He’s talking about neuropathy. I am not saying that’s what happened here, but peripheral neuropathy is a very real condition. If I had killed 2 children I would be beyond devastated !!! I would be bawling my head off. This lady seems fine not a tear in her eyes.🫤

🧐hold up it might be three murder charges 😮 it looks like the big fat one is about to stroke out 😅🎉🎉

Life!!

Lock her up

Exactly!

But the bar said she had one drink. I'm confused how she could have been legally drunk?

@@demcadman still drunk from the night before??

She set there cold stone!!

She looks annoyed and bored.

First thing I observed from the very beginning. 😢 Not a flinch, not a tear, not one iota of remorse.😭Heart wrenching for these victims loved ones🙏🙏🙏🙏

​@@thereserivera7691she may have zoned out as a way to deal with it.

​@@sherrykfunYeah she looks like she wants to drink.

WHAT!?!?!? You mean ... have her .... sober up !?!?!?!? Are you NUTS??? What about the boat club?? The guy admitted that they have seen her numerous and countless times so intoxicated she could barely walk. What did they do? Cut her off? Take her keys? Or did they just keep serving her until she stumbled out?

Ok but it’s his literal job to defend her regardless of how bad her actions are. He has to vigorously defend her even if he feels she’s guilty.

​@@KokoMooradtruth. My friends a lawyer and she hates when these kind of cases get passed to her. They don't like defending these types that's for sure.

My husbands friend is still in the hospital. She can’t walk for at least 8 weeks she was so severely injured. And the poor woman that lost her 2 babies. My heart breaks for her…

@@lulujac9196 I know that must be absolutely horrible, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone! I feel so bad for all those that was negatively impacted by this! 😔

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🛡⚖️🕊🕊

That’s not how the law works! Thankfully the laws have gotten tougher in many states otherwise she would not have been charged. She’s still not going to ever be found guilty of murder. It’s going to be involuntary manslaughter, which is what it should be. Just as attys say, we’re innocent until proven guilty, and having not event a traffic ticket says a lot about who she is. This is an overcharge on the prosecutors.

​@@dudemorris7769 I bet you wouldn't be saying that if these were your children 😡

​@@dudemorris7769the law is a fool 🎉

​@@dudemorris7769She got behind the wheel highly intoxicated! If she also had medical conditions effecting her ability to safely drive, she definitely should never have gotten behind the wheel! All her choices that ultimately took lives!

Yes this is going to be very messy I know this is horrible but please let the justice system take care of this so that it won’t end up in a mistrial

Could have and probably was a accident

While terrible it was still an accident .its not like she woke up one morning and thinking it's a great day to run over some people..many totally straight drivers kill people

Past record does matter when it comes to sentencing and bail. Legally speaking.

😂😂😂

Listen...even Taylor swift would look rough in that situation.

Well, hon, she's been held in jail. She hasn't been able to spend any of her 'boat club' money on getting facials and exfoliation. Probably hasn't been to a tanning bed in, well, DAYS. Ya know, it's not easy when you're forced to get sober.

⁠@@richardlawson6787Taylor Swift would not look like that…plus Taylor would never put herself in this ωαsituation. Praying for the family who lost the 2 beautiful angels!

I was going to say this. My mom is 74 and looks so good next to her: My mom had alcohol socially: My mkm also had cancer last yr and looks so much better that this lady. And she dares to have no emotion whatsover. She’s not even faking emotion. Just another day for her.

Oh trust she’ll figure out how to make bootleg prison alcohol quickly. She’s a known black out alcoholic for two decades at least

She was DRUNK, blew over the limit ... whether she had a medical condition, or was on legal drugs is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT. She Drank, and murdered two kids.

That poor Family.😢

But she only had 1 drink...4 hrs before?

@@demcadman and Obviously MANY MORE Drinks during the 4 hours after that one drink at a tavern. That's why she blew way over the limit and drove through a building of children.

Yes u re correct

She blew over the legal limit ... her lawyer is losing all credibility by claiming she only had one drink 4 hours before the crash .. LOL.

no what about two children died that never see thier outside of the life. One of never get pass pre-K graduate this year! shes 66 year old have long life than two childern.. no special treatment! DONT DRINK AND DRIVE YOU HEARD EVERYDAY..

Is it not possible to feel sorry for both families? I do

A bunch of hypocrites oh now y'all wanna act civil not a single racist comment.

@@marlons4122 what are you yelling about. Literally No one is ignoring the tragic nature of this. I get that you’re emotional but read the first line of the comment. It’s horrific. Period. I do absolutely hope she gets help but, in prison. That is where she will be. Go ahead and make a tribute to those children and their families. They need the prayers. Dwelling on all the nasty details to everyone who already knows is not helping them. Want to fight for stronger penalties? Get off your keyboard soapbox.

You can see in the video that she never even hit the brakes 😡 😢 And the speed she was going, even kicking up dust on the road behind her 😩

@@kathi2302 She obviously knew that road VERY well, since she lived on it and spent a lot of time at the boat club drinking.

My mom had neuropathy in both legs and feet and she was driving. It's very dangerous. It's horrible what happened, but let's see her BAC level and Dr report.

If she drove past her house, it makes even more sense that she lost control of the car and perhaps did exhibit some sort of medical issue...imo

@@deenak79Police said she blew OVER the limit, i.e. DRUNK .. she illegally diminished her medically limited capability, . End of Discussion.

For sure. It’s also his job though.discredit victims and witnesses. You have to be a bit of a sociopath to be really good criminal defence attorney.

Because he has to defend her so he CAN'T show emotion

It sucks but its kind of his job. Its hard to find lawyers to take cases like this because they have to defend someone rather he thinks his client is guilty or not. This even happens to prosecutors. They have to try and put a way someone they may believe is innocent but has to prove they are guilty .

you do realize it’s his job? like what?

@@surveysays731 I do realize that it's his job.

They got her locked up in chains, with a Master lock 🤣🤣🤣🤣 How ridiculous

Yeah, who cares if she never got a ticket, it could mean she was just lucky. I think if hurt anyone like that i would be so ashamed and quit driving

My sister went through a bout with seziers an the doctor ordered DMV to suspend her license until she had been sezier free for a year 🙄 so if that's the case she shouldn't have been driving. An if I had killed 2 kids accident or not I'd be a mess definitely not sitting there like nothing happened 🤦🏻‍♀️ I pray she goes away for the rest of her life , 66 an no record 😂 she just never got caught until now.

@@ellerichardson1094 Exactly

How do you know she's a drunk and has been for a long time? Do you know her? I'm seriously asking

​@@ellerichardson1094what did you want her to do? She might have just started a new medication, we don't know

My heart breaks for everyone in this situation, including the driver. She seems to be in a state of shock. All their lives have been profoundly disrupted!

Don't they usually do that unless they think the person is a flight risk?

You think a million and a half bond is relaxed? Give me a break.

Complexion for the protection 😅

So who cares, some people do not cry

Maybe she cried before court started.

I don't see how you could know that. I wasn't able to see her

Some people cry from the inside

Small children go to heaven. OF course it's tragic for the parents.

You don't know that. She's more than likely devastated by what she did. She needs to pay for what she did but I don't see how you can say she's "unfazed"

Exactly how do you think she’s supposed to act during this proceeding?

When being sentenced she will be very emotional. Poor me. Poor me. Boat club should have been proactive.

It's not shocking. This would be an unbelievable predicament for anyone, regardless of guilt. The shock of the situation you are in is enough to put anyone in a dazed like demeanor. I wish people would stop acing like they know how people are suppose to behave in these kind of situations because you don't. It just makes it seem like you're incapable of understanding nuance which should be common sense for an adult.

@@lazydaisy2292 you might not find it shocking but I can’t imagine killing two babies and not shedding a tear or even showing some remorse. It sounds like she’s well known in her area for drunk driving and she was trying to get home to get away from a previous incident. I’m sure your opinion would change if it was your family affected by her disregard for human life.

I'm sure you'd like to believe that but in reality, it's highly unlikely unless she wants to go back to jail. When bond is granted for alcohol related offenses, they always include "absolute sobriety" as a bond condition. It's enforced with a take home alcohol monitor called the SCRAM device. It's monitored by the sheriff's dept and connects via cell phone towers I think and takes a breath test every 4 to 6 hours depending on how it's programmed. It also has a camera that takes a picture of the person's face when testing so they can't just get a sober person to blow for them. And if they think they can have a beer right after testing and will be fine for the next test even 6 hours later, they're wrong. Believe me, there is no way to cheat this alcohol monitor unless you have an identical twin that is wherever you are every time the machine turns on and requires a test within 2 minutes. Or if you have mad mad tech skills and can hack into the sheriff's dept system and edit the test results. When it records a positive test for alcohol, you know it right away because it makes you test a second time to verify. Then you get a call from the sheriff's dept within an hour or two informing you that you tested positive for alcohol and you need to report to jail for violating your bond conditions. If you don't show up when they tell you to be there, they send the goons out to take you. All that to say, if she does drink while out on bond, she will almost certainly get caught and locked back up again. No excuse in the world will be accepted by the court. No alcohol means exactly that. Judge will then increase the bond amount to around double what it was.

My childhood friends daugher had epilepsy, she did not drive regardless of how inconvenient or irritating it was!

In the UK it’s different . My boss got epilepsy later in life and couldn’t drive for 6 months, when he could drive again he unfortunately had an attack while driving and couldn’t drive for another 6 months, he was told if it happened again he would lose his license for good.

This is in Monroe County....and the judge is a man

$$$$$$$$$?

Went do people have this inherent need to blame everyone else? I don't get it. This isn't the boat club members fault. This kind of mentality is so gross.

I hate not being able to drive! But back pain can cause distractions & effect response time so I haven't driven for numerous years now! Just like I don't drink a bunch of alcohol & get behind the wheel!

How rude. He's educated; I guess you're not. And how do YOU look?

*Some people are the root of evil

Iam sorry for your loss... l know how you feel.... all best wishes

Thoughts and Prayers? C'mon Man!!

Agreed and after the breathalyzer reading shows her to be over the limit, off to jail

Who is paying all those medical bills? Aimed her car. Blood test results. Throw her a.. in jail.
