Aimee Michael Found Guilty of Easter Sunday Crash Deaths

“i agree it was a mistake it sounds like a mistake but 5 lives are now gone so life in prison sounds about right to me”

I think people get caught up in the emotions of the tragedy. This young girl made a mistake that resulted in deaths. We have people that intentionally rape and murder people and they aren’t given life sentences.

Using that as a barometer, I don’t see how someone who “didn’t react appropriately to an accident” deserves to languish in jail.

Then again, she is black so maybe she deserves it.

@LAKER CRAZY
“it’s not a black thing errtime u think its not justice comes the whole well she is BLACK please!!!! she could have been mexican, white, purple, blue, pink who gives a fuk she is GUILTY so u are telling me that she deserves what??? she had what reason to be speeding in a hurry for what cake and ice cream??? come on now man please be 100% on this one she does deserve to be in prison don’t know for how long but her actions after the accident speak for they self put her azz in prison!!!!”

She deserves the consequences of hit and run. Whatever that may be. Do YOU think that’s going to happen? (We both know that it won’t) The prosecution offered a plea deal of 50 years for hit and run! WTF? Serial Murderers get better plea deals than that!

Look up “Nolan Ray George.” He was CONVICTED of murder and via plea deals, served 12 years… got out, MURDERED AGAIN.. and served 10 years! WTF?

Um. I wouldn’t keep saying something about the person being black if people that are black weren’t treated differently. But they are, that’s not my fault.

This post by Sandra doesn’t say that her speed caused the wreck to begin with.

@PEACHIZZ
“Some of us are so harsh. Yes she should receive some jail time but life? Not at 24. What we soemtimes fail to realize is “intent” not what you do after, court of public opionion tryed and convicted this yougn lady way before the courts… I remember when I was 24, I was young ,stupid and out of my mind in alotta of aspects of life, and still managed to hold it together. I would appeal this case.(I bet if it was your family memeber we wouldn’t be saying the same thing).”

AMEN!

They need to check out the two-bit D.A. offering a 50 year “plea deal” to a 24 yr old “hit and run” culprit. I bet the SAME muthaflucka give “sweetheart” deals rapists and murderers and chit.

Of course, them deals go to “other people.”

@LAKER CRAZY
“so since u think she is too young to be in prison for soo long what about those children were they not too young to die specially the way they did????”
_________________________________________________________________________

Why is that relevant to whether she comitted hit and run? (which she did)

It’s horrible what happened but it was an accident. Is it too much to ask to receive punishment for your ACTUAL CRIME and not on people’s ANGER?

@JAZZYIEST
“By the time her mother started helping her clean up evidence it surely became murder b/c she knew they were looking for her, had probably found out all those people had died on the news and STILL DIDN’T TURN HERSELF IN. In my eyes that’s murder and it was intentional.”

¿¿¿ ???
You sure you thought this one all the way through?

@E LOVE
“So BASICALLY using y’all logic of the INJUSTICE SYSTEM towards Blacks (Which has ALWAYZ been around…) BLACK LIFE isn’t as IMPORTANT to Black People because of it ?!!?

WHEN are Black People as a whole are going to STOP ACCEPTING ALL-OUT Recklessness and Foolishness from OUR PEOPLE… WHEN IS Accountability and Responsibility going to become TOP PRIORITIES within OUR COMMUNITY !!!”
____________________________________________________________________________

Obviously you grossly misunderstood my assessment of the situation. I CLEARLY stated that she is guilty and deserves the consequences of HER CRIME… which is HIT AND RUN.

Now, explain how you understood that to mean that there is an “acceptance of foolishness etc.”

@ACE

You are right in the aspect that “they” will try to make an example out of her…. which would be the ENTIRELY WRONG example by the way.

Now, I believe the only way it could charged as “murder” is if there was a reasonable way she could have prevented the deaths AFTER the accident had occured (which is the difference between this case and the one mentioned by LaTech).

This is sounding more and more like “legal abuse.”

@BK 2 ATL
“(n) Homicide is the unnatural ending of the life of a person by an act or omission of another person or persons knowingly or otherwise.

She was convicted of five counts of homocide. According to this definition, she was justifiably convicted.”
________________________________________________________________________

Is this the “general” or “legal” definition of homicide? I know it sounds like I’m splitting hairs.

@E LOVE
“I say Let HER OUT JAIL and Let STREET-JUSTICE take it’s Natural Course”

I am always a supporter of anything that is natural. Mother Nature has never made a mistake.

@DIMPLEZ

So… how long do you think she should get for the Hit and Run accident?

@CHOCO

How long do you think she should be punished?

@CHOCO
“I can not and will not answer that I don’t play JUDGE with anyone I state my opinion she should def be punished and 15 to me is a light sentence….”
_________________________________________________________________________

THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THE DEBATE IS ABOUT!

I’m still doing research to see if anyone was wearing their seatbelt or if there were any other contributing factors to this high death rate.

@MZ DIMPLEZ
“It’s not as simple as the Hit and Run. There’s also the issue of her covering her wrong doing.

Personally, I think she should do ATLEAST the minimum that they’re trying to give her. Hell, it’s not like she hit a damned dog, not to say dog’s don’t deserve better, she hit a car full of ppl.”
___________________________________________________________________________

I think the facts of the case have been thoroughly stated and understood. What I’m asking is, based on the facts, how long do you think she should be sentenced?

Give me a time frame.

@CHASE
“The cars blew up upon impact….. Seat-belts would not of changed that……”
____________________________________________________________________________

¿¿¿ ???

THE FLUCK!!!!!! That changes EVERYTHING. This should be two seperate cases.

Shouldn’t the MANUFACTURER of these vehicles be getting looked at? We already know Mercdes had a quality control issue. LOOK IT UP!

Now I have to give ol girl’s attorney the side eye.

@BK2
“that was the legal definition. I’m in the legal field as well…defense, but not this type. I work in products liability (i.e. asbestos). Funny thing is, we defend insurance agencies that cover the companies that are being sued for causing people to develop mesothelioma. The premise is sort of the same in that, even though the companies did not go out and murder people, they are still held accountable for contributing to people developing mesothelioma due to the asbestos in their products. They did not willfully kill those people that died from the mesothelioma, but they acted in a reckless manner, and as a result people died. Difference is, their punishment comes in the form of paying $$$ to the victims, and victims surviving families, not going to jail.”
_________________________________________________________________________

Yeah, I’m familiar with the Asbestos cases and mesothelioma. There are a number of differences in the case but I get the comparison you are making.

Being that you are familiar with products liablity, what’s your posistion on one or both cars exploding on impact.

Cars are tested to withstand 60 mile per hour impacts at various locations on the car with out exploding. The more that comes out of this the more I question it.

@MS. EVERYTHING
“Man we don’t know how fast she was going and if she hit the car near the fuel tank yeah its highly likely it blew up on or very soon after impact so it doesn’t sound like a manufacturing issue. It only takes a fumes and a spark. She hit that car (from the side I believe ) with enough force it went into oncoming traffic. It wasn’t a rear end cause that would’ve killed or seriously injured her and deployed her air bag limiting her ability to run. Go read the original article and see if you feel tge same way”
_________________________________________________________________________

Well, I haven’t much describing the accident itself. Just the court case that resulted.

What were the road conditions at the time of the accident?
Were any of the victims “impaired” in any way?
What was the driving conditions of all the cars invovled?
Why was her car so lightly damamged after the wreck?

@BK2
“if that’s the case, then I agree that there may be multiple responsible parties here. Of course that part of the case will be tried in civil court, which is a whole ‘nother can of worms. That part of the case could drag out for years. Something tells me that the decedents’ family probably won’t pursue that claim, and I’m not sure whether the defendant has the right to pursue that claim in an effort to reduce her liability.”
__________________________________________________________________________

I don’t understand how her attorney didn’t look into that. Trust me, the deceased’s family will go to civil court on this. LOL. Without question. That’s where the money is.

Now, as far as the defendent goes, she is able to be tried with “homicide” in Georgia simply because the occupants in the car died. Now, if they died as a result of the MANUFACTURER’S faulty construction as opposed to her driving ability (or lack thereof) than I think she has a shot.

Does anyone know what make and model year Mercedes it was?
