Nice to know your people are on the ball. 0.254? Stupid women *should* get
life.

53+ years! At least they pretend to take this stuff seriously in
Wisconsin. I'll bet she actually serves less than 10.

I'll bet you were looking over your shoulder about every two seconds,
too.
If you witnessed this crime, may I suggest that you call the police and
ask them if they want you to fill out a witness report. There's no such
thing as too much evidence, in either the criminal case or the civil one
that the victim's family and the survivors had better file.

I actually work at the hospital to which the victims were brought. I was
in a patient room on the 5th floor (which overlooks the bridge), heard
the crash, turned and saw the rider that went through the windshield.
The annoucement for the trauma crew was called overhead in moments.

She failed a field sobriety test and had to be supported when walking to
the squad car. If the blood test confirms what seems obvious, that she was
falling down drunk while driving, then the only keys she should even
see for a few years are the ones to her jail cell.

Well, you would hope so. Some jurisdictions now automatically charge
you with vehicular homicide if you're driving drunk and kill someone.
I have no idea if Wisconsin is one of those though.

Hell, she "only" killed a cyclist--they'll probably give her a pass and let
her check into rehab with the stars...

As it happens, she was released on a $5,000 cash bond. The D.A. asked
for a much higher bond as he considered her to be a flight risk, but the
judge knocked it down to $5,000:

Only if she is a star, or at least rich.

Oblivious my ass. She was drunk. The only set of keys she should ever touch
again should be for a u-lock.
