I know there was a thread about this incident when it happened. It must have been on the old board.

For those of you who don't remember this lady hit someone on the way home from partying. She was high and drunk. She drove home with the person she hit stuck in the windshield. Apparently he died after she got home.

Link the CNN.com article.

I, for one am happy she got such a harsh sentence. This was truly gruesome and unforgivable on her part. I am willing to bet had she called for help and this guy lived she would have done very little if any time. I'd bet she would've been sentenced to less than 5 years had she called for help and the guy still died.

The drunk involved in the accident (also in Texas) in this recent thread http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...threadid=13841 killed two and injured two (one horribly) and was sentenced to seven years. If there was ever a time to own up it was immediately after this accident happened.

I'm wondering if you feel the same way? If I remember the old thread on this incident everyone was aghast. Also, was there ever a time that you should have just come out and admitted some wrong doing that cost you more in the long run?
