My friend just got in a wreck due to a drunk driver. She was coming home late after a night of work, and a drunk driver swerved into her lane, she swerved due to panic and flipped in her car and got stuck in a ditch. The drunk driver just drove off. She stayed there for over five hours, until the next morning when a school bus driver noticed the car and called the cops. She's on life support right now with a broken vertebrae and bleeding in her brain. She's got two young children and we don't know if she's gonna make it. There shouldn't be plea deals for intoxicated driving.
This goes to show how bad our laws against drunk driving need to be changed. It’s 2nd degree homicide first offense. It should be first degree murder if there’s a second offense.
It's so scary to see how self centered and egocentric a person can be purely because they're not smart enough to be able to think about others. She should be consumed with guilt, especially being in the same room as the innocent man who's life she destroyed.

@@Beezlie727 The defense attorney was clearly upset with her client. Notice how hard she warned her client to SHAPE UP by putting her hand over hers so quick.
I was a defense attorney for 20 years and represented hundreds of DWI clients. While the vast majority were just normal people who truly did not know they were impaired, did not do badly on field sobriety tests, and had relatively low (but still over the limit) B.A.C. They made a mistake and were generally very remorseful. If I managed to find a flaw in the breath test (and believe me those machines are NOT infallible) and got the charge reduced to reckless driving, I had no problem at all doing so. But there were a handful like this woman and representing them made me sick to my stomach. I've even had idiots show up to court drunk for their DWI case, having DRIVEN to court! (Two got arrested leaving the courtroom.) Eventually I decided I'd had enough and now I'm working on getting back to teaching math. Every defendant in this country is entitled to legal representation but it's women like this that made me quit.
All I read was "defense attorney". I stopped reading because people like you are the reason people get killed/raped/beaten, whatever. You plead for their freedom to go out and do it again and to HELL with the victim. It makes me sick.
"Every defendant in this country is entitled to legal representation but it's women like this that made me quit" I'm honestly impressed by your professionalism. I would have stated it a lot less diplomatically.
I have a friend who did your job, for seven years, and told me in all that time, he never had one DUI suspect that was innocent or very sorry for his actions...He is now finaning cars for a living...OPPS
"While the vast majority were just normal people who truly did not know they were impaired..." Yeah, I can definitely see the "defense lawyer" rearing its head through here.
We need to stop showing compassion to monsters. She has previous duis. She shouldn't have been offered a plea deal at all. She almost killed a man and was responsible for him LOSING HIS LEGS!

@@janetdaily5774 then she should have taken her meds. Thet create people to have control of their actions. The drug companies and doctors dont prescribe these meds unless they work. She is lying
Comes down to personal character. Taking responsibility doesn't just mean saying sorry. It means presenting yourself in court with what little integrity you have left. The victim has suffered more mental and physical trauma than she ever will.
My father's life was destroyed by a drunk driver, as I was only 2 yrs old it didn't exactly improve my childhood either, at any rate, I have ZERO sympathy for drunk drivers. ZERO!
i am allergic to alcohol. half a pint is already makes me look like red lobster. So in my local pub, i have always been the designated driver, and i collect their car keys when they are still sober and give it back when i brought them safety to their doors. ( it was in a small village in scotland, so everyone knows everybody and where they live. 😂😂😋😂😂
Cars are designed to stop you from getting hurt in frontal collisions, while victims who are on foot or on a bike just take the full brunt of the impact, even hitting a car from the side means you are hitting someone dead on while being safer yourself
Yep. I know a guy with 3 or 4 prescription drug related DUIs. He finally got his license revoked this year and blames everyone from the other drivers to the pharmacist. Turns out, he's had several other smaller accidents and paid the people off directly without involving the law or insurance company. Straight up narcissist with no remorse at all.
I was hit by a woman who was drunk and nearly lost my leg. The woman only got 6 years and it was her fourth or fifth DUI. When she hit me I rolled over the car, smashed in the windshield and landed on the trunk. She didn't stop and carried me over half a mile before she was stopped even though I was banging on the windshield trying to get her to stop. My entire life was changed due to this, and my military career ended. These people only care about themselves. Very sad to hear this happened and I can honestly empathize with the victim.
Thank you for your service. My father served 32 years and is buried in the National Cemetery in my State. I'm glad to know that you're still above ground :)
I used to be a bartender. One day after a shift I had 4 drinks thinking I was fine to drive home (I'm 6'4 and 240 pounds). I was also on a weight cut for a tournament so the booze hit me harder than I expected. When I saw the DUI checkpoint, I didn't try to avoid it. I though "This is the same line I've been through a dozen times, I know I didn't drink too much". Turns out that due to my weight cut I blew a 0.09 and got a DUI. I didn't hurt anyone, nor was I breaking any laws driving. But I pushed my limit, played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. My situation was unlucky but still my fault. I never victimized myself and have found a better career since. I'll never understand how some people just blow it off like its nothing. I didn't even hurt anyone and I felt terrible.
@@Fred-mp1vf Wow. You are dense. I'll explain it to you more carefully I guess I clearly broke the law of drinking too much and driving. I didn't do anything that would get me pulled over though. No speeding, swerving, rolling stop signs, ect. I saw a DUI checkpoint on my way home and didn't try to avoid it because I've bought breathalyzers before, 4 drinks and I'm usually under the limit. My situation was about as mild as a DUI case can possibly be and I still clearly stated that I felt terrible afterwards. What point are you trying to make?

That man didn’t want to get in a car accident, he was innocent and had something integral to his life taking from him by an ignorant and disgusting person.
I know, that sucks. What is worse, if he were to not be alive -- it would only add an extra year. Involuntary Manslaughter, even while intoxicated is Min. 5 years (With a damn good lawyer).

My mother still goes to visit the grave of her childhood friend who was killed by a drunk driver outside her house. They didn't realize they were dragging his body for a mile so she couldn't go outside that day. They needed to find all the pieces and her parents didn't want her to see what happened to him. No sympathy for people who drink and drive.
You can't let people take advantage of you like that. The man lost his legs and people want to put pity on her? Did you see her behavior? Would you support a devil that crys their way out of everything? The world needs to stop simping hard for a female and see how messed up what she did is.

@@Edgar-so9of Take your anger our on alcohol. All humans make mistakes. Some make bigger mistakes than others, but if a person has truly learned from their mistake, they shouldn't be put in jail, they should be out in society giving speeches on what led them to the mistake they made. That, to me, is true justice. It doesn't do society any good to lock people up in a box. We need to put these people to WORK, giving talks on preventing others for committing the same mistake. The people who have learned their lesson in society are valuable, because they can teach us the lesson they learned.
A couple of months later, she ended up accepting another plea deal. “Under the terms of the plea deal, Aguilera will serve five years in prison and three years of probation.”
Shame on her. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself. The best thing to do "don't take drugs that will impidte your ability to think and do not drink and drive." She knows better, an adult person that did not care about other human beings.
As a retired Registered Nurse, psychotropics and their related family of drugs are very powerful and must be taken with utmost care. Unfortunately, once a patient with various disorders requiring stabilization on medication has been discharged, a good many and/or their families don’t follow the directions specific to the patient’s desired outcomes. Caring for patients with mental/emotional/psychosocial disorders is challenging, to say the least (I have professional experience as well as close members of my family). God bless these patients and families and society in which they live and work.
@@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043 I agree with you. But on the other hand I'm on abilify for bipolar disorder and anxiety and depression but I still know if I kill or injure a person I'd still know its wrong to drink and drive plus you shouldn't mix meds with alcohol
It really isn't hard to NOT drive while intoxicated, it really isn't. Even when I use to drink and get FUBAR, I was still cognitive enough to NOT get behind the wheel. I'd crawl home, if I had to. If you drink and drive, you do it because you don't care about the lives of others. Edit! Listen, if you drink and drive you go to jail, simple, right? But some people have excuse after excuse. Try telling the Judge "oh, but I was drunk, I didn't know any better! I didn't mean to kill that family. I didn't mean to kill their little baby in the back seat!" See how far that gets you. If you drink and drive you are a selfish human being. There was an episode of "Dexter" about this very thing. YOU are the bad guy if you drink and drive, no "ifs" "ands" or "buts".
@@briansadler5225 Are you saying he's never been drunk enough to not give a damn about other people's lives?? What the hell do you drink to become so dangerously misanthropic?
And a brain smaller than a pea. Her (at least) 3rd offence of dui, cutting him in half in the process, and this guy wanted to help get her back behind the wheel again as fast as possible. Big heart, small brain.
Keeping this woman off the road to save future victims is a priority, showing compassion will get her back behind the wheel more quickly and was not in the interest of the public.
FUN FACTS: for anyone who curious what ultimately happened, Maria Aguilera ended up accepting another plea deal: 5 years in prison, 3 years of probation, 200 hours community service, substance abuse counselling. But wait, there's more! This report on the case was severely lacking. I don't criticize WPLG Local 10 for not saying what the defendant's ultimate sentence was, because they aren't time travellers, and had no way at the time of this reporting to know. However, this report was weak. They didn't explain the details of the plea deal that got canceller, anything about the accident, and didn't show the defendant's odd or disrespectful behavior in court that lead to the judge bringing down the hammer of gavels onto the confused cranium of the criminal cr-something or other. But wait - here's the more! The accident that cost Perez his legs wasn't just an accident: he was coaching his son's baseball team and got hit ON THE FIELD. Two other people were also injured, with Perez the worst. The original plea deal was for 4 years of prison, 1 year house arrest, 2 years probation, 300 hours community service, substance abuse counselling. So basically her house arrest was turned into prison time, she got an extra year of probation, but dropped 100 hours of community service hours. That concludes this edition of FUN FACTS.
Thank you, Judy, for kindly explaining what actually happened in the end with this horrible case💔:( Also, please ignore the mean "Grammar Police" in the comments since he did NOT bother with any facts, except for being UNkind🙄!!
Thank you for filling in the blanks! There's absolutely NO excuse for anyone to get in a car and drive impaired - "buzzed driving" or solidly self-aware plastered... And the ridiculous thing is that those who do know that they are actually not in a state to drive , that they aren't "themselves",otherwise the issue of convincing themselves wouldn't enter their minds at all when they turn that key.. and every dui driver will tell that they had that conversation with themselves because they already knew it. My mother , years ago, had a drinking issue and I thank God she never tried to drive home. She had her "neighborhood" bar and that's where her friends all were. But I do give her credit because she would go to her car, get in and lock herself in and sleep it off. She never drove. I have a special interest here , I feel, since I graduated from South Dade High, but in 1978,years before this principal was there.. but it still pisses me off. I say throw the book at them, they kill and main people who are innocent and we love and care about
Well obviously they didn't know what the ultimate sentence was, since this video is about her failing to get a plea deal, which means the trial is still ahead.
I don't see what's wrong with Judy's grammar here. Baffled by that comment. Agree that this news report was very weak. Kept waiting for them to actually play the video of Aguilera, but the payoff just never comes. I was impressed with the reporter's ability to strike a relatively neutral tone when reporting on the woman who crippled his uncle.
The type of person who will talk themselves into a citation when the cops are willing to give you a break. She didn't deserve a deal anyway. I don't like drunk driving dipshits!
lol my Dad used to call us dipshits when we were kids! All six of us! God rest his soul, I miss him sooo much! 💕 his sarcasm can't be taught or explained!
I love that sharp hand grab that the lawyer gave her when she started talking to the other lawyer. That's called a non-verbal gesture and it means, "SHUT UP!"
Tos2290 Hard to help the person that so very cheerfully waltzes themself off a cliff at a moment’s notice. Even walking in, I saw dread in the attorney’s eyes.
I had a dui in California 3 in a half years ago. They are stiff. The penalties are great. Lessons are learned. Ive been 3 years sober and life has changed. Much was taken from me and deservingly. Understand people change. Not this woman but people change.
in texas, its zero tolerance, not only do you get fined over $10,000 and spend time in prison, but you also deal with muuuuch higher insurance premium and license suspension, and you kill someone while DUI, you get locked up for a looooong time, and if you refuse a breathalyzer or sobriety test you go to jail, it can affect you for the rest of your life and if you harm someone in the process, you can kiss your old life good bye! its extremely frowned upon when trying to gain employment too. I always say "if you can afford to go out to a bar, then you can afford an uber, lyft, taxi, etc" and its soooo much cheaper than a $10,000 fine too, but you avoid expensive bar tabs and uber fees all together if you just drink at home, and its cheaper too than going to a bar
cpcheater1011 the punishments u listed are about the same in California. A little over 10k in fees, suspended licenses, alcoholics classes and all that good stuff. Never got a dui and don’t plan to, but know plenty of ppl that have multiple dui’s
That animal has been putting everyone around her through hell. Look at the state of her son feeling like he has to stand by her. I hope he is able to get past this trauma - i know it all too well.
The son is oozing the ‘entitlement’ he learned from his ignorant mother. All pulled up to go to court. Probably trying to scam the system for some kind of disability. So if the 4 yr deal got pulled, how much time is she facing? Nice the judge admonished her but since no verdict was passed down, and this further wastes time, why did the judge not slap her with a contempt charge?
Murder is when you plan someones death, what she did is manslaughter. You cant just make up any old charge, the Judge would have thrown a murder charge out and rightly so, it was no murder, attempter murder or any other kind of murder as it was no previously planned.
Right. Yank the plea deal cuz she shows up to court high, yet lets her walk out?? Wtf!! I went to high school with a guy who got 3 dui's in as many weeks, getting majorly injured (and injuring 2 old ladies) in the accident that got him his 3rd. Anyways, while he's going to court for these cases, he's super medicated and still using drugs, and the judge noticed and ordered a drug test. He popped for meth, being that he was prescribed everything else he was dirty for, and that judge locked him up til his sentencing, and gave him 8 yrs... This broad took a man's legs..
I would be surprised this is her first DUI. When I got mine I was too embarrassed to argue. I was preoccupied with the thought of my adult children losing respect for me. Take your punishment and change your life. It gets better.
If you watch the entire thing and pay attention, you'll know two things. 1. you don't need a plea bargain for a first offense. 2. they spoke of another dui offense just a year prior. This was likely 3rd strike, which is why she would have needed a plea deal in the first place, otherwise she'd have just claimed no contest or guilty and taken diversion / crime victim's panel and Drug / Alchohol treatment and kept her record clean.
Some people do not deserve second chances. The victim lost his legs, and her and her vampire looking son think they have been treated badly. You can see the arrogance from her son that they think they can do and say what they want with a cocky attitude.
Yeah he seems like a really good person. I feel as though I’d want her to be locked up and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law possible if I was in this man’s shoes. Yet he chose to show compassion. Amazing
@J A Exactly if you live an area without good public transportation, you can't swing a cat without hitting someone who's had a dui. America's love of alcohol and private transportation do not mix. This is why I can't wait until self-driving cars are a viable option so we can stop pouring untold amounts of grief and resources into dealing with DUIs.
@@Thesamurai1999 Nothing will bring his legs back, but locker her up for life and throwing away the key will guarantee she can never mow someone down and injure them, ever again.
@@ryanc2340 I understand the point. But I feel like having her in prison for some years and then having her pay for some of his healthcare or mechanical legs or something is a better option. That way she is atleast trying to minimize the problem
From someone like me who has bipolar and anxiety, she can pull the Bipolar excuse all she wants but our doctors tell us bipolar patients how important it is to stay away from alcohol and she continued to drive under the influence of alcohol there for I hope she’s still in prison.
As a bipolar person too, I absolutely agree, the only thing I don't get is why everyone was outraged that she was medicated. She NEEDS to be medicated, she DOESN'T need to mix her meds with alcohol. If she didn't take meds she could explode into full blown mania and potentially do more damage than she already did
@@rokasb6907 No, that's not what they meant. They meant that he was generous toward the coward who ruined him. She took his legs, and he asked for a plea deal.

Ellen Carter I’m sorry bro but if I wasn’t going to see my mom for 4 years I’d have a lot of mixed emotions. Poor kid didn’t ask for it, and now his whole life will drastically change
All she had to do was keep her mouth shut besides saying "Yes your honor" and she couldn't even do that. No self control and a big mouth, have fun behind bars.
If you are selfish enough to drive drunk and risk the lives of others, you don't deserve a plea deal. You should receive the maximum and attempted vehicular manslaughter charge. Because that's what can happen.

"Every defendant in this country is entitled to legal representation but it's women like this that made me quit" I'm honestly impressed by your professionalism. I would have stated it a lot less diplomatically.

Comes down to personal character. Taking responsibility doesn't just mean saying sorry. It means presenting yourself in court with what little integrity you have left. The victim has suffered more mental and physical trauma than she ever will.
This goes to show you that you can help a person all you want but if they are in the path to destroy themselves, you gotta let them go.
Most of you have driven under the influence at least once in your lives. At least.

Cars are designed to stop you from getting hurt in frontal collisions, while victims who are on foot or on a bike just take the full brunt of the impact, even hitting a car from the side means you are hitting someone dead on while being safer yourself
That's what life is. Something unfair by default.

showed up late and medicated...DUI needs consequences
When cases are as serious as they come there should be no deals. I believe everyone I've ever talked to in my life agrees with that

Yep. I know a guy with 3 or 4 prescription drug related DUIs. He finally got his license revoked this year and blames everyone from the other drivers to the pharmacist.

I was hit by a woman who was drunk and nearly lost my leg. The woman only got 6 years and it was her fourth or fifth DUI. When she hit me I rolled over the car, smashed in the windshield and landed on the trunk. She didn't stop and carried me over half a mile before she was stopped even though I was banging on the windshield trying to get her to stop. My entire life was changed due to this, and my military career ended. These people only care about themselves. Very sad to hear this happened and I can honestly empathize with the victim.

I used to be a bartender. One day after a shift I had 4 drinks thinking I was fine to drive home (I'm 6'4 and 240 pounds). I was also on a weight cut for a tournament so the booze hit me harder than I expected. When I saw the DUI checkpoint, I didn't try to avoid it. I though "This is the same line I've been through a dozen times, I know I didn't drink too much". Turns out that due to my weight cut I blew a 0.09 and got a DUI. I didn't hurt anyone, nor was I breaking any laws driving. But I pushed my limit, played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. My situation was unlucky but still my fault. I never victimized myself and have found a better career since. I'll never understand how some people just blow it off like its nothing. I didn't even hurt anyone and I felt terrible.
How can you say that you weren't breaking any laws? You were endangering others by your own thoughtfulness and carelessness!
@@Fred-mp1vf Wow. You are dense. I'll explain it to you more carefully I guess
I clearly broke the law of drinking too much and driving. I didn't do anything that would get me pulled over though. No speeding, swerving, rolling stop signs, ect. I saw a DUI checkpoint on my way home and didn't try to avoid it because I've bought breathalyzers before, 4 drinks and I'm usually under the limit. My situation was about as mild as a DUI case can possibly be and I still clearly stated that I felt terrible afterwards. What point are you trying to make?
I have anxiety and bipolar and even I know not to over medicate myself. She wasn’t ready to accept her guilt. She’s trying to escape it. When you have disorders like this it’s overwhelming but you can’t escape things you do

As a retired Registered Nurse, psychotropics and their related family of drugs are very powerful and must be taken with utmost care. Unfortunately, once a patient with various disorders requiring stabilization on medication has been discharged, a good many and/or their families don’t follow the directions specific to the patient’s desired outcomes. Caring for patients with mental/emotional/psychosocial disorders is challenging, to say the least (I have professional experience as well as close members of my family). God bless these patients and families and society in which they live and work.
@@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043 I agree with you. But on the other hand I'm on abilify for bipolar disorder and anxiety and depression but I still know if I kill or injure a person I'd still know its wrong to drink and drive plus you shouldn't mix meds with alcohol

It really isn't hard to NOT drive while intoxicated, it really isn't. Even when I use to drink and get FUBAR, I was still cognitive enough to NOT get behind the wheel. I'd crawl home, if I had to. If you drink and drive, you do it because you don't care about the lives of others.
Edit! Listen, if you drink and drive you go to jail, simple, right? But some people have excuse after excuse. Try telling the Judge "oh, but I was drunk, I didn't know any better! I didn't mean to kill that family. I didn't mean to kill their little baby in the back seat!" See how far that gets you. If you drink and drive you are a selfish human being.

FUN FACTS: for anyone who curious what ultimately happened, Maria Aguilera ended up accepting another plea deal: 5 years in prison, 3 years of probation, 200 hours community service, substance abuse counselling.
But wait, there's more! This report on the case was severely lacking. I don't criticize WPLG Local 10 for not saying what the defendant's ultimate sentence was, because they aren't time travellers, and had no way at the time of this reporting to know.
However, this report was weak. They didn't explain the details of the plea deal that got canceller, anything about the accident, and didn't show the defendant's odd or disrespectful behavior in court that lead to the judge bringing down the hammer of gavels onto the confused cranium of the criminal cr-something or other.
But wait - here's the more! The accident that cost Perez his legs wasn't just an accident: he was coaching his son's baseball team and got hit ON THE FIELD. Two other people were also injured, with Perez the worst.
The original plea deal was for 4 years of prison, 1 year house arrest, 2 years probation, 300 hours community service, substance abuse counselling.
So basically her house arrest was turned into prison time, she got an extra year of probation, but dropped 100 hours of community service hours.
That concludes this edition of FUN FACTS.
Thank you, Judy, for kindly explaining what actually happened
in the end with this horrible case💔:(
Also, please ignore the mean "Grammar Police" in the comments since he did NOT bother with any facts, except for being UNkind🙄!!
Thank you for filling in the blanks! There's absolutely NO excuse for anyone to get in a car and drive impaired - "buzzed driving" or solidly self-aware plastered... And the ridiculous thing is that those who do know that they are actually not in a state to drive , that they aren't "themselves",otherwise the issue of convincing themselves wouldn't enter their minds at all when they turn that key.. and every dui driver will tell that they had that conversation with themselves because they already knew it. My mother , years ago, had a drinking issue and I thank God she never tried to drive home. She had her "neighborhood" bar and that's where her friends all were. But I do give her credit because she would go to her car, get in and lock herself in and sleep it off. She never drove. I have a special interest here , I feel, since I graduated from South Dade High, but in 1978,years before this principal was there.. but it still pisses me off. I say throw the book at them, they kill and main people who are innocent and we love and care about
Well obviously they didn't know what the ultimate sentence was, since this video is about her failing to get a plea deal, which means the trial is still ahead.
I don't see what's wrong with Judy's grammar here. Baffled by that comment.
Agree that this news report was very weak. Kept waiting for them to actually play the video of Aguilera, but the payoff just never comes. I was impressed with the reporter's ability to strike a relatively neutral tone when reporting on the woman who crippled his uncle.
Thanks for this!

Tos2290
Hard to help the person that so very cheerfully waltzes themself off a cliff at a moment’s notice. Even walking in, I saw dread in the attorney’s eyes.
and it means, "SHUT UP!"
Actually, it means STFU
This is exactly why DUI related offenses need stiffer penalties!!!
The punishments are stiff here where I live. The problem is that plea deals are handed out like candy during Halloween.
I had a dui in California 3 in a half years ago. They are stiff. The penalties are great. Lessons are learned. Ive been 3 years sober and life has changed. Much was taken from me and deservingly. Understand people change. Not this woman but people change.
in texas, its zero tolerance, not only do you get fined over $10,000 and spend time in prison, but you also deal with muuuuch higher insurance premium and license suspension, and you kill someone while DUI, you get locked up for a looooong time, and if you refuse a breathalyzer or sobriety test you go to jail, it can affect you for the rest of your life and if you harm someone in the process, you can kiss your old life good bye! its extremely frowned upon when trying to gain employment too. I always say "if you can afford to go out to a bar, then you can afford an uber, lyft, taxi, etc" and its soooo much cheaper than a $10,000 fine too, but you avoid expensive bar tabs and uber fees all together if you just drink at home, and its cheaper too than going to a bar
cpcheater1011 the punishments u listed are about the same in California. A little over 10k in fees, suspended licenses, alcoholics classes and all that good stuff. Never got a dui and don’t plan to, but know plenty of ppl that have multiple dui’s

The son is oozing the ‘entitlement’ he learned from his ignorant mother.
All pulled up to go to court. Probably trying to scam the system for some kind of disability.
So if the 4 yr deal got pulled, how much time is she facing? Nice the judge admonished her but since no verdict was passed down, and this further wastes time, why did the judge not slap her with a contempt charge?
Murder is when you plan someones death, what she did is manslaughter. You cant just make up any old charge, the Judge would have thrown a murder charge out and rightly so, it was no murder, attempter murder or any other kind of murder as it was no previously planned.
He didn’t get 4 DUIs messed up on prescription pills and alcohol and cause an innocent man to lose his legs
Right. Yank the plea deal cuz she shows up to court high, yet lets her walk out?? Wtf!! I went to high school with a guy who got 3 dui's in as many weeks, getting majorly injured (and injuring 2 old ladies) in the accident that got him his 3rd. Anyways, while he's going to court for these cases, he's super medicated and still using drugs, and the judge noticed and ordered a drug test. He popped for meth, being that he was prescribed everything else he was dirty for, and that judge locked him up til his sentencing, and gave him 8 yrs... This broad took a man's legs..

If you watch the entire thing and pay attention, you'll know two things. 1. you don't need a plea bargain for a first offense. 2. they spoke of another dui offense just a year prior.
This was likely 3rd strike, which is why she would have needed a plea deal in the first place, otherwise she'd have just claimed no contest or guilty and taken diversion / crime victim's panel and Drug / Alchohol treatment and kept her record clean.

LOL imagine crying about not receiving a plea deal when you took away someone's entire life (practically).
From someone like me who has bipolar and anxiety, she can pull the Bipolar excuse all she wants but our doctors tell us bipolar patients how important it is to stay away from alcohol and she continued to drive under the influence of alcohol there for I hope she’s still in prison.
As a bipolar person too, I absolutely agree, the only thing I don't get is why everyone was outraged that she was medicated. She NEEDS to be medicated, she DOESN'T need to mix her meds with alcohol. If she didn't take meds she could explode into full blown mania and potentially do more damage than she already did

All she had to do was keep her mouth shut besides saying "Yes your honor" and she couldn't even do that. No self control and a big mouth, have fun behind bars.
Terrible woman!! That poor man. God bless him. I can't imagine. So glad he survived - but what a cost.
If you are selfish enough to drive drunk and risk the lives of others, you don't deserve a plea deal. You should receive the maximum and attempted vehicular manslaughter charge. Because that's what can happen.
"pardon me Linda...."
"My name is not Linda!"
😂
Best moment!
"and do not address me!" You tell her, sis!
Leen'dah* 😂
Where is this from? Isn't the little girl with attitude?
At least she didn't call her Susan.
WHY COULDN'T THESE PEOPLE CALL UBER OR LIFT OR EVEN A FRIEND
And lack of common sense
you would have to pick up your car the next day which can be highly inconvenient.
I don't think people like these even have decent friends. If they do, they're prolly the same in terms of idiocy. What a disgrace!
Kind of impossible when your blacked out pissed drunk, it’s like your body goes into auto drive and you have no control or memory
Tell that to the family she affected for life.
He lost his LEGS and the only reason the plea deal gets rejected is her attitutde in court? Wtf? Where are our priorities?
"I'm not a doctor, I'm a lawyer" Politicians could learn something here
Right. Stay in your lane.
Raised her son to act like an Entitled woman
💀💀💀💀💀💀
I thought he was.
41%
Even looks like one
You don't even know her son, you saw a five second clip of him. But you somehow know he's a bad person because of those five seconds right? Moron. Send me a five second clip of you so I can decide what kind of person you are, how about? Since that's all you need to see to judge someones character apparently.
No good deed goes unpunished
I keep saying: anyone who has commited a vehicle based crime like DUI should have their liscense permanently revoked.
I feel for her attorney though. She was trying so hard to shut her up.
Yep definitely obvious at time stamp of 1:13 where the attorney literally grabs her arm
feel for the attorney? She is doing it for money. No ducks given here.
@@markae0 mybe because it her job ?
Don't feel too bad for her, she probably makes more money in a year than you and your entire family combined in the past 10 years.
Just cause you have money, doesn’t mean you don’t have struggles.
