On a side note: this is also why teenagers should not be driving cars. She was 17 and able to driver her friends around? WTH?

Until she's 18 she should not have a driver's license

Once 18 she should, until 21, only be able to drive around with an adult over 21 next to her to monitor her driving

Cars are 2 tonnes of death on wheels, why do we allow irresponsible teenagers to play around with that?

Well then again, this is the US were talking about, teenagers can get near military grade weapons as well and nothing ever goes wrong with that, so what am I complaining about rite?

If her boyfriend had done what she did, he'd be getting the chair.

What a fucking joke. If you're going to try her as an adult you may as well execute her instead of wasting our money keeping her alive.

(Just a quick disclaimer. I am vehemently opposed to prison and think we would be better off getting rid of it and actually helping people.)

It never ceases to baffle me the amount of gender-based double standards or shitty sexist society has. If a guy did this we would get a life sentence (likely without parole). And a death sentence in a death penalty state. But, because the person that did this is female, she doesn't get a life sentence or death penalty, she gets the luxury of getting to walk out of prison after a time of serving a sentence (just to be clear. I don't think any prison time is ever justified or ethical. But that's not the point. The point is to call out our misandrist society. I hope one day Equality might actually be a thing, thought it will likely be long after my lifetime.

How can they convict someone on lack of evidence that they are innocent? She could have passed out for what ever reason and was not in control at all. A shocking travesty of life and justice imo.

I'd let her drive me into a building!

Edit: Just saw how she looked in makeup of her own choosing. Eek. Amend the above to read "I'd let her drive me into a building, as long as she was restricted to wearing light makeup by an attorney who wishes her to make a good impression in court, and most expressly was not wearing those ridiculous fake eyelashes"
