BS. Still responsible for your actions if you are behind the wheel. Especially when a pr-diagnosed condition.

Fixed that for ya, although being a "minority" very well may have come into play, its more because she is a she. Women are rarely made to take responsibility for their actions in this country.

Just another case of the "Political Class" taking care of it's own.

Thanks. Probably a combo of both like ypu say.

You know she was even ordered back in 2006 to see a doctor to release her to drive since her last seizure and didn't. She should be responsible for her own actions. I didn't see but was she cleared of the child abuse charges as well? She should have to answer for her actions. What about the family of 5 that died? [Rant2]

Wrong in both responses.
She was acquitted due to issues the jury had coming to a clearly defined decision.
A real trial is not what you see on tv. There are not always clear lines of testimony and witness's tend to forget, or their testimony is vague. These reasons and the DA's office not being able to convince the jury she was GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT allowed her to walk.

My wife has been called for jury duty a few times. What you read and see is not always what is in fact reality during a trial.

+1
I don't know all the facts of the trial, but I've yet to see anything that suggests this was related to her race or sex.
