I am just in disbelief.I'm not aware she ran a stop sign. The version I heard was that she made a left turn into the path of the motorcycle while getting directions from a person she was talking to on a cellphone. I'm not aware of any suggestion that the rider's speed and/or the visibility down the road played any part - so it's just a question of whether the use of the phone makes her criminally responsible for the rider's death.There was some mention of a toxicology report in the docket entries, however I'm not aware of any suggestion that either driver was under the influence of drink or drugs.Of course there's always more to the story than the media portrays. And sometimes, less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 it's just a question of whether the use of the phone makes her criminally responsible for the rider's death. she might be criminally responsible anyway. She did break the traffic law... I haven't looked at OH's homicide statues, but it could be a question of murder vs. manslaughter.the real question will be whether or not using a phone makes her "extremely reckless" (could mean murder) and acting with disregard for human life. The court will have to consider local custom as well, so I doubt they'll be so bold as to say "everyone who uses a phone while driving is automatically being criminally reckless."i'm on a conference call at work, but I'll try to pull up the OH statutes before I leave...

SJC1000rr Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 All that tells me anymore is that if your going to kill someone, do it in your car talking on the cell phone. Then make sure you never mention it to anyone so that it can't be proven as premeditated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crass is the only way to describe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRunninfast Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 she might be criminally responsible anyway. She did break the traffic law...

That charge requires a "mens rea" , or latin for intent, which wasn't the case, and even 1st degree manslaughter (the 2nd highest homicide charge) wouldn't apply here because again, no intent. She was likely charged with involuntarily manslaughter which involves no intent but a reckless disregard for human life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
