In the very beginning of the arrest she said “it was my day” “I was getting my make up em ready to go out” right after the accident.. she only cared about how her night would go and never cared about the others
@ItzSyakirin Everyone says "narcissism" like she didn't just blow a 0.3% BAL during the arrest. Mrs Booze Brain might _literally not remember doing it._
My grandma was fatally struck by an intoxicated driver last year and all that guy cared about was his car getting wrecked. He's never expressed remorse for what he did, all he's done is complain about his car and his own relatively minor injuries.
I think In some states you would have wait 5 years or so to be hired as a nurse after doing your time. But In some cases your disqualified to become a nurse
UK has recently had a serial killer nurse who had the intent to kill 7 newborns, she's been all over our news as a notorious baby murderer. Yeah people are just monsters by heart.
I respect this officer immensely. I feel like he understood how fucking awful she was and never once flipped out because, if he did, she would have the sympathy as a victim and her punishment would likely be reduced as a result. He treaded carefully to make sure she paid the full fucking price.
@@icarustar2457it's insulting to the victims and their families. It's like a parent doing 8 year for murdering their baby. An innocent child's life is worth 8 years? Child molesters get probation. Rob a bank with no weapon or violence? _LIFE IN SUPER MAX!_
@@feraltaco4783child molester sentences are absolutely disgusting. A distant relative of mine got caught with cp and even got charged for molesting his own daughter who’s not even 6… he only got 5 years max 1 year minimum. I hate the justice system.
ive seen people on twitter excusing her behaviour saying her dedication to school was so great that she shouldn't get a sentence because 'we need people that work hard'. I don't know who's dumber.
I feel an inhuman amount of disgust when it comes to drunk drivers. My closest cousin and her best friend were killed 6 years ago due to a drunk driver. RIP Liz 🙏
I served as a juror on an intoxication manslaughter trial in 2007. Not only was the medical examiner’s testimony sobering, the scene photographs were horrific. Every juror was shook. Hearing that someone was killed by a drunk driver is one thing. To hear the grizzly details & see the actual havoc wrought is much more impactful. I firmly believe that every new driver course, defensive driving course, AA meeting, & all DUI probation programs should require a review of such report details & photos.
They do it's called mothers against drunk driving panel-it is a required course if you don't want to serve jail time it's actually a choice it's actually a choice of the panel or serving time in jail
@@cindi8318 doesn't that only occur after a drunk driving offense? I meant it should happen during every driving course of any type for any driver. It was incredibly impactful.
I had something similar when I got my VCA (basically a certificate that allows me to work in a hazardous enviroment like construction sites in the Netherlands), we had to watch workplace accident videos to really drive home the point of "this could be you". Like a guy walking infront of a forktruck and between a trailer, then getting hit by the forktruck and pulled into the trailer with the pallet and subsequently squashed by the pallet. Cause forktrucks have terrible forward vision when carrying a pallet, which is why they normally drive backwards except that final stretch into the trailer and thus why you never walk infront of a forktruck. Also a guy who was working on a electrical installation and put a tag on the breaker so while he's working he won't get electrocuted, only for some utter twat to walk in, ignore the tag and flip the breaker probably killing his coworker. Really still makes me think twice about my actions on the work floor to this day.
@@jerritanner275 I can only attest to my situation; our local coroner ran the school’s driving classes so we could get a permit to park on campus. I can 100% confirm she made us learn about those details. I ended up telling my parents about it and got the best response I think any parent could give. “You are old enough to drive, you’re mature enough to know what your behavior could cause.” At the time that response hurt, but five years later I appreciate the brutality of it, even though it was so out of character for them.
Narcissism is genuinely terrifying. My stepdad was a narcissist and the stuff he did and thought was ok was horrid and absurd. Obviously it’s mental illness and it can be a little more complicated than just think different or whatever but it’s just awful
@@feebler8819 Yes, but it's not a mental illness that you're born with or that needs to be medicated or that you can't fix; it's a personality disorder. Narcissists definitely don't get a pass like other more serious and uncontrollable conditions (ex. bipolar disorder). Basically, if your narcissism leads to you harming others, you should get the book thrown at you.
14 years. That means each life was only worth 7 years. That’s all the judge could come up with?? If the judge had a set of balls: she would have gotten life.
Female privilege. Justice system is NOTORIOUSLY light on women. Women basically never get life sentences even for murder. They would have to be like a serial killer
A drunk killed my brother and my dad in 87 and didn't spend 4 years in prison. I don't know if more years would be better but 4 years was a horrible slap in my face since my life was changed forever. So many lives were changed forever. .......
Am I crazy though or is she not just drunk? Like, the reason she’s laughing in the hospital is that she just doesn’t process what’s going on around her since her BAC is like barely keeping her conscious. I’m not sure if she would react that way if she understood that she had killed someone and was sober. This whole video just seems silly to me. We’re not looking at some psychopath who doesn’t care that they killed 2 people. We’re looking at what a normal person is capable of understanding when they’re hammered. When she wakes up later, then she’ll have to be re-informed of her situation and she’ll understand.
@@leopardduck4490 thats why charlie looks to me a bit stupid given his emotional impulsereaction, like hes totally misinterpreting her, she may be high in addition, she may not yet realise what happend, she may downplay it instinctively to avoid a menthal breakdown, we dont know and all of what i said is more probable than: well shes just a selfish unresponsible prick "duh".
@@leopardduck4490 I have been literally nearly blackout drunk and still able to at least comprehend a serious situation like this, no amount of drunk makes someone this much of a piece of garbage. She just already was one.
One of the most sickening parts of this story is when she was pulled over, one of the victim’s _DISMEMBERED LEGS_ was wedged in the car’s grill…and she had NO reaction to it. That’s one of the most gruesome things I’ve ever heard happen in a drunk-driving accident… *Edit: To the very few people commenting who’re defending her actions, stop…just fucking _STOP._ I cannot believe some of y’all are actually siding with this killer. I know it’s a sick way to get a shock factor from us, but it literally makes you just as vile and ice-cold as her. Though she was clearly under the influence of _something,_ it doesn’t excuse what she’s done in any single way. She killed 2 innocent people & showed absolutely _NO_ remorse for it. We can only hope she doesn’t do it again when she gets out. Also I found out about the severed leg from Fox News for those who were wondering. Please guys, I’m begging you, don’t drive if you’ve drank or taken any substances. That temporary euphoric high isn’t more important than taking someone else’s life. Get an Uber or taxi-it’s that simple. **2nd Edit: Melgoza was sentenced to a total of 14 years in prison, but under Illinois law, she’s only required to serve about 85% of that sentence; combined w/ credit for time served, she’ll probably get out within the next 11.5 years. I think that’s pretty despicable given that I still don’t believe she’s shown genuine remorse nor really accepted full responsibility for her actions that night. During her sentencing, she reportedly “expressed great remorse” for her actions, but I think she’s more upset at the idea of going to prison than for hitting those two people. I hope she doesn’t get out anytime soon…
@@BillyWitchDoctorDotCom She didn’t blackout. She got behind the driver’s wheel of a car while being intoxicated. Her decisions caused these actions, nothing else.
I know of common anti depresants that cause this. Not saying this is what happened, but I remember someone telling me once that after taking their meds if someone died at their feet they wouldn't have a flicker of emotion, and this person is one of the most caring people I know. Anti-depressants basically turn you into a zombie where you don't care. So although we can judge this woman, let us not forget that many millions of people are made this way by their medication and we don't care about that.
what pisses me off the most is most of the time, the drunk driver has minor injuries, while the family they hit is dead. then they suffer minor repercussions, if any, for the crime they committed absolutely despicable
This was the judges chance to make an example, to prove their that vehicular homicide isn’t a joke. This woman should have got reckless driving, a DUI, and second degree murder. The fact she actively doesn’t care she killed two people shows she was willing to take a human life that night. She decided to drink and drive full knowing she was probably gonna kill someone. She shouldn’t be getting out. This isn’t a case of making a dumb mistake. This woman is malicious and it’s a joke that she got to graduate. At least no hospital can hire her because she has a criminal record.
She was wasted at the time -- 3-4X the legal limit. I've gotten blackout drunk and done stupid shit that I don't remember and it feels like somebody else did that stuff when you get told about it. Of course, I never ran two people over with my car...
I don't understand these "only 14 years" comments. Just remember what you did 14 years ago and then try to imagine being in jail from back then until today. And don't get me wrong: I wouldn't complain if she got more than 14 years, but it's a pretty heavy punishment.
@@Julian-bg8yb I worked from 5 years of age to now 57! When I went to Desert Storm the empathy I had for what I wasn't even involved is magnanimous. You better hope none of your family is EVER SO DISRESPECTED from the perparaiter that they are dancing as their body go cold.
@@trishaslake6373 I guess, I phrased that wrong: I only wanted to emphasize, that 14 years in jail is a very long time. I don't feel pity for her and its disgusting how she reacted, but I think 14 years is an adequate punishment
Just to remind everyone: the guy who jail broke nintendo switches is basically getting life in prison while someone who took 2 human lives and literally only cares about HER ability to go to school, is getting a reduced penalty of 14 years.
Corporate interests should not weigh more than public interest. This being the case, we need to demand reform. We have become way too complacent with rampant corporatism usurping our entire society. This needs to stop. I remember when capitalism was a form of consumerism in which the rights of the consumer weighed more than the rights of the producer. Slowly over the past 10-20 years this has eroded because of a lack of consumer litigation. Most millenials hate the court system and have no idea how to file litigation. Boomers used to sue companies over everything. Remember when America would sue mcdonalds over some coffee that was too hot? Ironically enough, that's the sort of thing that kept our economy in check. Nowadays it's in shambles because we have no backbone.

Welcome to reality then. ~6% of the worlds population are estimated to have a cluster b personality disorder (Narcissism, Sociopath, ASPD, Borderline etc.) 10% of Americas population are believed to have a personality disorder. There's a lot of them out there.
There is no excuse for DUI. My dad always told me I could call him at any time of the day or night for a ride, no questions asked and that’s what I told both my children. Now, I realize not everybody has family like this but like you pointed out there a numerous ways to get a ride, or you can walk or just stay where you are until you are sober. Plus, Jesus, just plan ahead! If you want to get wasted do it at home or arrange for a ride ahead of time. Driving while intoxicated is just arrogant and selfish. No excuse.
Cars are actually built in a way that protects most drivers who collide head on. Most cars have little to no protection from the sides. Though these victims were pedestrians so they stood even less of a chance against her car :(
A lot of times, drunk drivers are able to escape with minimal injuries because their bodies don't really get tense during a crash and are able to avoid panicking. My dad has been in a few wrecks (sometimes under the influence of drugs and sometimes alcohol) and he's gotten away relatively unscathed, only need hospital care for a couple hours.
@@GmmBeast actually the tensing part is true, the muscles don’t tense so they absorb the impact instead of being ripped/torn and the bones don’t need to take the shock, the panicking saves lives as well by overreacting and saving the victim, instead of both of them being hurt/killed
The fact that she only got 14 years, and so many people have gotten way worse sentencing for doing far less than negligently murdering 2 people, shows how unapologetically broken our legal system is
Henry Ruggs got 10 years and he only killed one person and was sobbing at the scene. Not to mention he was a millionaire athlete who mattered so much to a lot of people

she needs a psych evaluation. i saw in the comments that she was allowed to graduate from her nursing program, but cause of her criminal record i doubt she will ever get hired as a nurse thank god, but knowing she passed nursing school means she isn't intellectually disabled and completely understands what she did and the impact of it. she has something seriously wrong with her
so many nurses are the worst people, i think a lot of them become nurses because it's a profession they will be praised for having and it makes them look good, and some do it because it lets them have control over people's lives
Such an insult to allow her to have a reduced sentence. She is a menace . And her family should be ashamed. As should the court. The officer's disgust with her says it all. I have seen many variations of her arrest, longer videos, but you verbalized my feelings so succinctly. Hope whatever occurs in jail precluded her ever getting out.
1. She intentionally did it. If it happens it's intentional. She intentionally murdered two people, she just happened to be on something. 2. Her family is just as much at fault. She is part of the family. They are responsible through association. The bad is always the responsibility of the group. Only good is of the individual. Everyone she is related to are just as much muderers as her.
The worst part is that her family are crying wolf and saying she ‘doesn’t deserve the hate’ she’s ‘been through enough’. Like so have the families of her two victims. She deserves every ounce of hate thrown her way.
Well, internet, you know what to do. Dox these mfs and get them fired from their jobs for even having the audacity to try and defend something like this
Um, NO, THATS NOT WHAT THEY SAID YOU LIAR! THE FAMILY SAID THEY DONT DESERVE THE HATE THEYVE BEEN GETTING, THEIR DAUGHTER DOES! People, LIKE YOU, who spread lies are disgusting!
My dad and his gf were killed by a drunk driver when I was 18. I just turned 30 and I can tell you right now, it's something that is absolutely unforgiveable. and yet they are hardly punished. The woman who killed my family was only sentenced to 9 years for both (combined) and got out EARLY due to good behaviour. This woman probably got more just because of the public eye factor but usually, drunk drivers are not held accountable like they should be. This world needs to change.
@@casewojo6186 Americans say "could care less" like it's correct and at this stage in my career I've just accepted that's how it's always been. I've actually seen that more than the correct version online.
I'm terrified. I'm genuinely terrified. That people like this exist. I've been dealing with alcoholism for years and not ONCE have I driven under the influence and NEVER has it crossed my mind.
My wife and daughter wish to obtain their driver’s licenses. I don’t worry for them because of their ability to drive, I worry because of people like her are on the roads. Driving under the influence is inexcusable. I have seen first hand what it does to a family. My father’s elder brother who never drank, was a good and decent man who was involved in many charities, was driving with his family to Melbourne Australia from Canberra in our nation’s capital. They were going on holiday and in the car was my uncle, his wife, and my two cousins aged 5 and 2. A drunk driver crossed over to the wrong side of the road and hit them head on. My uncle was killed instantly, my aunt was in a coma which lasted 3 months, and my 2 year old cousin was brain damaged and put on life support. My 5 year old cousin was unscathed, physically, but endured a lifetime of mental trauma all stemming from that accident. She’s been in and out of institutions for most of her adult life. My father had to make the agonising decision to turn off life support, an act which my Nana never forgave him for but which was the best decision given her prognosis. She was brain dead and machines were keeping her alive. My father struggled with alcoholism and my family bore the brunt of his inability to cope. All because some dickhead couldn’t be bothered to get a taxi home. I have no sympathy for those who drive under the influence.
My boyfriend's dad drove drunk all the time years ago (before I knew them). He actually went to jail for a year or so for it. Thankfully he never crashed or hurt someone, but the police found him pulled over a bunch of times sleeping it off I guess, with a high blood alcohol level. Since he went to prison he hasn't driven drunk as far as I know, but he's still an alcoholic. I don't know how my bf turned out so well honestly; he has never drunk any alcohol because he witnessed all the problems drinking caused his parents. Similarly, when I was a teenager I decided not to ever get drunk because there's alcoholism in my family too :/ Alcoholism is a bitch; I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I hope things get better for you!
@Kfox I’m genuinely sorry to hear your struggles with alcohol. I can certainly empathise with you as I had my own struggles with alcohol and addiction. It is possible to overcome this. For me it was working on the underlying issues which caused me to want to get wasted in the first place. Once I did that, I became able to get my addictions under control. You’re a beautiful young woman with so much to look forward to in life. I sincerely hope you’re able to overcome your issues and live your best life.
@Daniel thank you. I know exactly what the underlying cause is, so I'm doing my best to work on that. There's nothing worse than feeling dependent on a substance. Baby steps!
As a psychologist, I saw this video last week (prior to Charlie’s perspective). When I watched it in its entirety, I was horrified by how she initially tried to blame the victims and then claimed that she only hit one person (I believe these were pedestrians). The victims were struck so hard that some of their limbs were nearly completely disarticulated (i.e., torn off). She also thought she should get some type of credit for calling 911 herself. In the video, she displays narcissistic behavior to such an extreme that her behaviors are consistent with sociopathy. Being intoxicated generally enhances the mood state experienced while also being a CNS depressant. So, if someone gravely hurts another person while intoxicated, it should made a “normal” person with a conscience and empathy feel even more upset and inconsolable, particularly since she saw the bodies. Normal people would be so upset if they just killed two people; they would likely be throwing up and weeping uncontrollably. In the hospital, it was as if she pretends he didn’t just say she killed two people. She appeared mildly upset after the police officer stated his utter disgust in her behavior when she kept pressing him about her missing classes (btw the officer exhibited extraordinary restrain when he did speak, particularly after witnessing her singing, dancing, and laughing). Her upset was more incredulousness that the officer would say what he did. At that point, she asked if he was “allowed” to say what he did. She is lucky that was all that was said. I agree with Charlie; since she didn’t actually know the people she killed, she was unfazed. The video is a chilling example of sociopathy.
I honestly expected him to get up and just punch her in the face when she ignored him talking about the two deceased individuals. I know I couldn't have had that kind of restraint in that moment.
You actually forgot the best part, while she was out on bail waiting for the trial she got pregnant and married! So glad she got to have those life experiences while her victims are missing out on the rest of their lives due to her unbelievable stupidity.
There was body parts sticking out from the front of her vehicle and she walks right by it, looking at it. With the bodies laying there and insisted she only hit 1 person not 2. And they hit her and she called the police right away. It was like she called them to clean up the mess so she can carry on with her night. 14 years for murdering 2 people brutally, brutally murdered. Makes NO sense.
The severity of the crime is still SO underplayed in most of the videos covering this situation. She hit the other people so hard, it SEVERED their fucking leg, and it ended up in the grill of the car. I don't know how you can do such a horrific fucking thing and laugh about it.
It scares me a bit that you don't qualify that last opinion, and you are a police officer. I mean I'm cynical, but I would not say that all people are horrible.
My best friend was a drunk driver. She ended up running headfirst into a semi on the way home from a bar, getting herself killed (and the “friend”that made her drive that night barely survived). The feelings are so complicated. It felt like someone ripped my heart out, but it’s sad to say that was the best case scenario. She’s lucky she’s the only one who died. I will miss her forever, but I am ALWAYS going to be unbelievably angry at her. It was so needlessly stupid and selfish. Whatever the Uber costs is worth it. Or fuck it, sleep it off in your car. Getting behind the wheel is never the answer.
This was a student at my college and I barely even knew about it, aside from people at school spreading the news. I’m glad this isn’t going unheard and people are seeing this person for the terrible monster that she is. Absolutely disgusting.
I accidentally hurt my husband’s upper lip while trying to hand him a glass of water he asked for - I was a bottle of wine in already - I was inconsolable, I cried for fifteen minutes straight I was so upset I hurt him accidentally. I really like Charlie’s point about this: you will be empathetic while drunk if you are an empathetic person.
I used to drink a bottle of wine and then another, and another. I’d watch that ifI were you, a whole bottle is a lot of wine. I’m glad you’re empathetic, that’s a wonderful quality. I don’t drink anymore, life is way better now 🩷

Me and my friend were hit by a drunk driver in 2008 while walking, my friend passed instantly. We were only 11 years old. It’s given me a lot of troubles to think about in life. I myself have given up drinking this year due to my own troubles alcohol has gotten me. I hate alcohol, how addictive it is and how fatal it can be in many many situations. God bless anyone affected in any way by alcohol.
I’m sorry that happened and I hope that you find an outlet to express your pain. Some form of artistic expression that lets the world know how you feel, but opens you up to love and support. A dark past doesn’t mean a doomed future.
Wow that's insanely traumatizing. Drunk driving is especially infuriating because it's so preventable but causes so many uneeded DEATHS every year no matter where you live. So horrible
@@Cypurdy life minimum, lmao you're a clown. That's the sentence for first degree murder. Do you realize that worse crimes like intentional premeditated homicide have to have harsher sentences than manslaughter? Clearly you don't, you just give emotionally driven low IQ responses. The max is 28 years for a reason. Her sentence is longer than the other people i know who have done this.
As someone who had a DUI, hitting a family of 4 ( no one was hurt) i was disgusted and ashamed of myself. I havent had a single beer or any drink since 2014 now
I hope the victims families don't see this. Imagine losing a family member and seeing the one responsible barely register it. Full blown sociopathy. Edit: People in the replies pointing out this was a year ago and the family has likely seen it countless times. Goddammit.
They’re attorney will be playing this during the civil lawsuit for wrongful death to take anything she and likely her parents (if they Co own the car) have.
I agree totally. Not only that, alcohol affects everyone differently, so it should be a blanket ban, a zero alcohol limit. I mean, driving under the influence of marijuana is not measured by parts per billion, that is a zero tolerance drug. If alcohol was treated as a drug, which it is, and you were not allowed any alcohol in your system for the right to drive, there would be a great deal less fatalities and injuries due to the leniency shown to alcohol. This evil creature has obviously led a sheltered, spoiled life, and has never needed to develop a conscience. Mummy and Daddy need to take some responsibility for this things approach to life.
The fact she only got 14 years AND was allowed to graduate from her nursing program is frankly completely disgusting. Shame on the court, on that college, and God help those people she callously murdered.
She is hateable. I recently apologized to a friend for a shitty thing I said while drunk… and he was like “dude that was almost twenty years ago” and I was like “I know but I get sad knowing I hurt your feelings and just need you to know I was wrong…” Something on this level is unimaginable.
You know despite I did the same this cause I recently am hating myself for hurting my friends feelings for saying things drink and I still hate myself I’m trying to give it time to say sorry but also something like this tho… idk I wouldn’t comprehend the consequences what this girl did..
The guilt I feel for accidentally being an ass whilst drunk is ridiculous. It's so dark and heavy and it can last for weeks, and I'm not even a bad guy! If I so much as make an off colour joke I'll be gutted. This is absolutely not just booze making reality.
yep thats why im quitting drinking. just too dangerous for me personally. i havent done that many terrible things but i feel its better to quit while im ahead. i could see myself going on a bender and waking up in jail over something dumb.
Similar case here in New Zealand. Drunk kid wraps his car around a pole, I say wrapped it split in half. He killed his 5 friends, one of which was in the boot of the car, and his sentence was 2 and a half years. 6 moths for each person he killed.
Your channel is one of the ones I turn to when I'm craving a drink. As someone who has driven drunk in the past, I appreciate so much that you are so blunt about your distain for drunk drivers, and the fact you call it unforgivable. Because it is. I don't seek forgiveness for driving drunk, I don't deserve it. All I can do is keep moving forward, not do it again, and be thankful I never hurt or killed anyone.
I watched the full footage a couple days ago, and I can’t even express the amount of anger I felt the entirety of the video. She was more concerned about going to school and was even talking about how much she was going to drink at her birthday party in Las Vegas the next week
Yes because You only get to feel shock and disassociation if you’re the victim. And because she didn’t act the way we all wanted we should trump the manslaughter charges up to murder and throw her in jail for life. Truly based.
She was cold and completely uncaring, I truly think she deserved the full 28 years because she took away two entire lives. There is no redeeming that and there is no redeeming her attitude but 14 years feels lenient.
Soooo.... how many years should someone get who actively murdered 2 people? Sadly i've noticed in the past, usually literal murderers got less than 14 years in prison. So what exactly is the standard here?
I’m not surprised that she’s getting off so light since the justice system in East Peoria is probably so desensitized to murders since it’s East Peoria. That’s why I never drive in Peoria unless I have to
people get caught up comparing to the maximum or to other crimes. 14 years is still a long-ass time. who are we to say whether that's enough. idk. nothing will seem enough when you've had your loved ones taken away from you for someone's recklessness.
As a retired cop w/lots of DWI arrests under my belt I have to agree that people who drive drunk are soulless beings. This woman takes it to a whole new level and life in prison is too kind for her.
Soulless beings? Isn't that just a little bit over the line? What about everyone in the entire alcohol supply chain that led to her getting drunk and the people who witnessed her getting into her car and driving off in her condition? I suppose they're entirely blameless. What I'm saying is that it's cultural illness and you can't demonize one person. Thousands of people do the same thing every 24 hours of every day, the problem isn't "soulless beings."

Calling somebody by a mental illness as an insult results in the following; 1) it creates stigma and bias around the illness 2) people diagnosed with such illness are ostracized and damaged and traumatized 3) research, therapy, and getting help and assistance is considered more taboo as the disorder seems like something to be ashamed of 4) this cascade of a cycle can make it even harder for an individual with issues to maintain a healthy lifestyle; remember, you can be mentally ill and be in good health if you learn to live with it, which they do not Another thing to add, VERY FEW psychopaths actually end up harming people ANOTHER, she is showing signs of apathy, not delusion, so you can't even call her a psychopath TLDR; don't use mental disorders as insults or personality traits you're doing more harm than people who are actually suffering from those conditions.
I literally got drunk, accidentally slapped my friend and sobbed uncontrollably about it. This woman should've gotten wayyyyyy more than 14 years, she isn't remorseful. She's just upset she's in jail now.
It’s not the booze, she was probably just in shock. Her family says she is remorseful now and I believe them. This doesn’t excuse what she did, but she isn’t a psychopath at least.
@@Ok-lm4is She is also clearly wasted off her ass at the time. If I had to guess, she is simply incapable of comprehending what she has done during the video. I can totally believe that she would be remorseful and distraught when she sobered up. Not that that excuses her. Drunk driving should be a capital crime.
My friend back home got life for this because he killed his passengers. He served like 5 years and the parents of his friends rallied to get him out. He was 16-17 and the parents didn’t want him to live the rest of his life for a mistake that he’s going to remember for the rest of his life. Killing strangers is one thing but your friends would devastate a person.
she went to my college, and let me just say she is WIDELY hated. there is not a single person that has forgiven her for what she’s done or forgiven the school for allowing her back after
@@Captain_Willard yep that’s pretty much what happened. they even let her walk at graduation. they just released this video of her arrest even though it happened quite a while ago, but she’s gone now and in jail as far as i know
@@idkwtd97Seriously? I thought they were originally going to let her walk,but then other students at the school protested and they ended up not letting her walk. I could be wrong though.
@@ClaraaR this video wasn’t released until pretty recently, and this happened over a year ago. tbh im not sure if people knew the awful details of her laughing about it until the vid was posted
I think I read at sentencing she also said she needs to live for the 3 of them now so she needs to live life to the fullest. Which is an absolute insane take for her to still have, sober, in front of a judge, showing 0 remorse. It just shows how f’d in the head she is and gives 0 f’s about anyone. Such a disgusting human.
@@maolisa08 like she needs to live life in a fulfilling way not just for herself, but for the two people she killed because they can't live their lives since she took them away. She thinks she needs to go super hard since these people died, despite it being her fault that they're dead.
No she thinks she is hot and is the next big thing. For onlyfans and people on the internet. Cross examine her attitude to these onlyfans girls you see on like fresh and fit and other podcast and it’s the same thing. This girl has main character syndrome and doesn’t understand life.
I went to school with this girl. She’s pregnant now and is going to prison for 14 years. She’s not even the only girl from Farmington who carelessly murdered people. There was another girl in my class that hit someone while texting and driving, and would laugh about her trial in class. She would joke about her friends going to college and then having to visit her through bullet proof glass. Our town breeds psycho women 😣
Watching the body cam from the beginning you see she was able to lie and claim she was not drunk. This shows a level of awareness that makes her callousness toward the people she killed more chilling.
@@tormclean9657iven that a concentration of 0.30% in your body will likely induce you to a coma, if she was at 0.25% she probably had her reasoning severely impaired and on the verge of passing out. Not exonerate her, if one is planning to drink, always have a plan to get back home without driving.
@@tormclean9657 she could have some crazy level of tolerance to alcohol though. I was in the car when one of my (former) friends got a DUI and I didn’t even know he’d been drinking - he blew a .23 and went to jail, and I got a sweet ride home, free from handcuffs, by one of the most generous cops I ever met. Best taxi ride ever
That really doesn't prove anything, it's pretty common from what I've seen for really drunk people to be insistant that they aren't drunk. At a certain blood alcohol level near all rational thought goes out the door.
I don’t understand how the punishment is so light. Drunk driving is a crime killing people is a crime and yet drunk driving while killing someone is seen as less of a crime.
This happened around 6 miles from our home. Incredibly enough about 8 years ago a friend of my brother’s killed two people in a DUI around one mile from our home. He got 8 years. The couple he killed were on a motorcycle and were intoxicated with coke in their systems. I believe that is the resin he got such a light sentence. Sad
My dad is an alcoholic. Once while driving drunk he hit someone. The guy survived. Witnesses said he jumped in front of my dad's car and he admitted to it as well. As a kid I didn't understand what was going on. I still remember him not sleeping until he found out the guy was going to survive. Because of the witnesses and victim confession he was never charged but he continued to drive drunk. I had a last straw moment and walked away. I couldn't support it anymore.
I was in college with this person when this happened. We were in the same graduating class. It happened just a couple weeks before graduation and the university almost let her walk in the ceremony, until this video was released and students across campus started protesting saying she shouldn't be allowed to graduate. It was a wild situation. Crazy how it went viral like this a year later
My uncle was killed by a drunk driver who got in an argument with his daughters mom then got drunk with my uncle/bestfriend had people put my uncle passed out in his car then drove with him got enraged about his gf started playing chicken with semis and killed my uncle he lived due to the airbag because he was the driver no airbag for passenger at the time he tried to lie even my family only suggested 5 yrs with work release because he had kids showed remorse but upon his release not 6 months later DUI again and just a slap on the wrist!!! I agree with you 100%!!!! Drinking and driving not only kills it ruins so many others lives as well!!!
I always appreciate when you cover these topics. I was a victims of a drunk driver and thankfully I’m still here but it changed my entire life. No excuse, ever.
I really hope you just commented on this video and didnt read the replies on some of these comments. People be wildin and ridin the hell out this woman as if she did nothing wrong??? Its really not that deep: dont drive while drunk Also hope youre doing better these days!
Sincerely hope your days get easier. Not a victim of that myself but have chronic illnesses and have to go to the doctors monthly where I've met unfortunately too many people who were victims that suffer incredible amounts of pain or lack of movement from spinal injuries. It's sad. To me I was at least somebody who was genetically sick and unhealthy. People like them, plausibly you as well.... we're healthy people doing their things. Just minding their own, following the rules and some jerk went and destroyed that from them. Tore their entire livelihood up. I remember saying at least one thing in many of my conversations with them. "It's always the people doing wrong that fuck it up for the people doing right. And yet we're the ones who feel most of the affects in the end of it all."
I agree with that but you gotta remember this still a real person. I know niggas who used to be addicted to xanax and drive off bars all the time. they wrecked their cars crashed into people and they aint get no where near as much hate as this girl did and we dont even know if shes an addict. She could've just been a casual user who got wasted out their mind did some dumb shit and didnt know how to respond to the situation while also being super fucked up.Thats she reacted with so little remorse she was tryna stay calm and convinced herself the person was still alive. yall gotta keep in mind she blew 4 times the legal limit. She chick was not in her right mind at all yall cant judge her actual character off this one situation
My best friend was killed by a 19yr old drunk driver. He was 28, had daughter. He was a tow truck driver helping someone on side of the freeway & she drifted off into the side lane & clipped him. If someone you know is trying to leave a party and drive drunk, take their keys away and pay to get them an Uber home. What id pay to get him back.
They should also be someone you used to know. The keys also need throwing into the nearest body of water and calling the locksmith the next day can be a lesson.
Stephanie Melgoza, 24, a student at Bradley University and the subject of this video, was sentenced to serve up to 14 years in prison. The maximum sentence the judge could have given her was 28 years. Illinois law dictates that Melgoza will have to serve at least 85% of her sentence, about 11 and a half years with time served. She will be in her mid-thirties by the time she gets out of prison. After she gets out her life will be a mess. She will be an ex-con which should keep her from using her nursing degree but, if nothing else, she could probably get a job in a nursing home since most of them are perpetually short staffed and hard up for nurses. She may get a chance to kill off more people significantly older than herself. I have no doubt that after Melgoza sobered up she started to act as if she was very sorry for her actions. It's hard to say if her remorse is real or merely an act meant find sympathy but she'll have plenty of time to think about what she's done. In my youth I did some dumb things while drunk including one instance of ludicrously dangerous driving. I believe I would feel bad if I had hurt or killed someone in that instance but I can't be certain without reliving the moment. Since I do not personally know this woman I will not cast judgment over her behavior but will hope that she learns a valuable lesson from it.
Honestly, I don’t think I’d mentally or emotionally handle myself well in a situation where I have to explain to someone how stupid they really are when they make a decision I only see a literal sloth making, my brutal honesty would be through the stratosphere
My father was killed by an unapologetic dui driver. I always appreciate you speaking out against this huge problem and life ruining behavior. It feels like it’s downplayed and glazed over so much especially as a victim.
I like how she was worried about being about able to go to school when she is drunk af, knowing her dumbass she would skip class for that day even if she didnt kill people
Those "monsters" won't be sent to jail or what? 'Cuz I'm pretty sure they would be. Unless you mean you want them to go jail AND also be "exposed" by being talked about online. Which means you love the drama, and don't give a fuck about how horrible what they did is, and are just as selfish as them - wanting to see a spectacle. The worst part is, in your narcissistic brain this type of thing is "justice".
"About 1.2% of U.S. adult men and 0.3% to 0.7% of U.S. adult women are considered to have clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits." So yes there's literally MILLIONS more.
yes but we literally have a word for this: it's called the "bystander affect". People are getting shot and killed and raped and murdered in America every day. You think those people concern me? You think I know their families and know who they are? Human beings are literal shit stains. Why would someone who accidentally killed two people care? She doesn't know them, they didn't know her, they weren't mentors to her or had ANY affect on her life. This strange belief that if you involuntarily cause harm to someone else that you should just fall into tears and depression and become suicidal is stupid. Nobody gives a fuck about other people. If I watched someone get shot 28 times right in front of me, I'm not crying for that shit. Sorry for your family but I don't know who the fuck you are or what you did or why you ended up shot and killed. I don't give a fuck if your mom gave you oatmeal raisin cookies every sunday after you came home from school. We as human beings DO NOT CARE about other people's lives.
I stole a $4 bag of jerky from Walmart 13 years ago, and it still keeps me up at night. The fact that she could KILL someone, TWO PEOPLE even, and not care is *incomprehensible* to me.
Those people don't feel emotions like we do. Their brain is wired different. If you have ever seen no country for old men, she's like Anton except has a max of 90 IQ.
I'm not really sure that she just doesn't care. If something extremely traumatic happens you're brain can protect you by blocking the event. She might not be aware about what happened, add alcohol in the mix and you get this kind of behavior. When she sobers up, and her brain will release the trauma, she might be really horrified about what she did.
I lived right by where this happened. She didn't just run over two people, she hit them in an alley way at night going 70+ mph. It was a horrific scene. The couple she hit were just trying to make it to their car... she deserves well over 14 years
Oh my gosh that makes my stomach hurt so bad. May the people she hit rest in peace. I can’t believe she didn’t get more time. I hope karma gets her good
Given how she acted she should've been given prison for life, she's a entitled rich kid that was given all she wanted and she doesn't value anyone else's life except the one who gives her the cash. I'm frankly unsurprised she was given such an insignificant sentence for this crime because this usually occurs...
I live around there also…. I remember hearing that she was in a well off family and figured she’d just get off the hook for her actions cuz of that. Hence her acting the way she did. I dunno either way shits just disgusting behavior
Charlie didn't call her a goofball once. He's absolutely disgusted by her.
Not a single goofy name, special place in hell for people like that
cause this isn’t even close to a goofy thing 💀 tf kinda logic is that
She killed two people and felt absolutely no remorse. That isn’t goofy behavior it’s straight up psychotic behavior
you know you fucked up when family dollar jesus stops goofing around.
I mean look at her, who wouldn’t be disgusted by the fact that she had no remorse whatsoever it’s so pathetic
The way she's worrying more about her car than the fact that she just ended 2 peoples lives is absolutely repulsive
In the very beginning of the arrest she said “it was my day” “I was getting my make up em ready to go out” right after the accident.. she only cared about how her night would go and never cared about the others
@ItzSyakirin Everyone says "narcissism" like she didn't just blow a 0.3% BAL during the arrest. Mrs Booze Brain might _literally not remember doing it._
@@BillyWitchDoctorDotCom That's mentioned in the video. She's clearly aware.
My grandma was fatally struck by an intoxicated driver last year and all that guy cared about was his car getting wrecked. He's never expressed remorse for what he did, all he's done is complain about his car and his own relatively minor injuries.
She's a girlboss, she's stunning, brave and empowered.
This is alarming. Can you imagine people like her working as nurses and techs in hospitals and paramedics?
I think In some states you would have wait 5 years or so to be hired as a nurse after doing your time. But In some cases your disqualified to become a nurse
UK has recently had a serial killer nurse who had the intent to kill 7 newborns, she's been all over our news as a notorious baby murderer. Yeah people are just monsters by heart.

I respect this officer immensely. I feel like he understood how fucking awful she was and never once flipped out because, if he did, she would have the sympathy as a victim and her punishment would likely be reduced as a result. He treaded carefully to make sure she paid the full fucking price.
Full price? 14 years, Was all those 2 lives were worth?
She did not pay the full price

I served as a juror on an intoxication manslaughter trial in 2007. Not only was the medical examiner’s testimony sobering, the scene photographs were horrific. Every juror was shook. Hearing that someone was killed by a drunk driver is one thing. To hear the grizzly details & see the actual havoc wrought is much more impactful. I firmly believe that every new driver course, defensive driving course, AA meeting, & all DUI probation programs should require a review of such report details & photos.
They do it's called mothers against drunk driving panel-it is a required course if you don't want to serve jail time it's actually a choice it's actually a choice of the panel or serving time in jail
@@cindi8318 doesn't that only occur after a drunk driving offense? I meant it should happen during every driving course of any type for any driver. It was incredibly impactful.
I had something similar when I got my VCA (basically a certificate that allows me to work in a hazardous enviroment like construction sites in the Netherlands), we had to watch workplace accident videos to really drive home the point of "this could be you". Like a guy walking infront of a forktruck and between a trailer, then getting hit by the forktruck and pulled into the trailer with the pallet and subsequently squashed by the pallet. Cause forktrucks have terrible forward vision when carrying a pallet, which is why they normally drive backwards except that final stretch into the trailer and thus why you never walk infront of a forktruck. Also a guy who was working on a electrical installation and put a tag on the breaker so while he's working he won't get electrocuted, only for some utter twat to walk in, ignore the tag and flip the breaker probably killing his coworker. Really still makes me think twice about my actions on the work floor to this day.
@@jerritanner275
I can only attest to my situation; our local coroner ran the school’s driving classes so we could get a permit to park on campus.
I can 100% confirm she made us learn about those details. I ended up telling my parents about it and got the best response I think any parent could give.
“You are old enough to drive, you’re mature enough to know what your behavior could cause.”
At the time that response hurt, but five years later I appreciate the brutality of it, even though it was so out of character for them.

This isn't (just) stupidity, it's unbridled narcissism.
Narcissism is genuinely terrifying. My stepdad was a narcissist and the stuff he did and thought was ok was horrid and absurd. Obviously it’s mental illness and it can be a little more complicated than just think different or whatever but it’s just awful
@@feebler8819 Yes, but it's not a mental illness that you're born with or that needs to be medicated or that you can't fix; it's a personality disorder. Narcissists definitely don't get a pass like other more serious and uncontrollable conditions (ex. bipolar disorder).
Basically, if your narcissism leads to you harming others, you should get the book thrown at you.

Female privilege. Justice system is NOTORIOUSLY light on women. Women basically never get life sentences even for murder. They would have to be like a serial killer
Especially since she doesn't care at all. She was more concerned that she would miss class than the fact that she killed two innocent people

she’s never had to take any accountability for anything she has ever done and it’s so goddamn evident.
Am I crazy though or is she not just drunk? Like, the reason she’s laughing in the hospital is that she just doesn’t process what’s going on around her since her BAC is like barely keeping her conscious. I’m not sure if she would react that way if she understood that she had killed someone and was sober.
This whole video just seems silly to me. We’re not looking at some psychopath who doesn’t care that they killed 2 people. We’re looking at what a normal person is capable of understanding when they’re hammered. When she wakes up later, then she’ll have to be re-informed of her situation and she’ll understand.

@@leopardduck4490 Not sure what kind of people you've seen "be hammered", but that is NOT normal at any level of BAC.
One of the most sickening parts of this story is when she was pulled over, one of the victim’s _DISMEMBERED LEGS_ was wedged in the car’s grill…and she had NO reaction to it. That’s one of the most gruesome things I’ve ever heard happen in a drunk-driving accident…
*Edit: To the very few people commenting who’re defending her actions, stop…just fucking _STOP._ I cannot believe some of y’all are actually siding with this killer. I know it’s a sick way to get a shock factor from us, but it literally makes you just as vile and ice-cold as her. Though she was clearly under the influence of _something,_ it doesn’t excuse what she’s done in any single way. She killed 2 innocent people & showed absolutely _NO_ remorse for it. We can only hope she doesn’t do it again when she gets out. Also I found out about the severed leg from Fox News for those who were wondering. Please guys, I’m begging you, don’t drive if you’ve drank or taken any substances. That temporary euphoric high isn’t more important than taking someone else’s life. Get an Uber or taxi-it’s that simple.
**2nd Edit: Melgoza was sentenced to a total of 14 years in prison, but under Illinois law, she’s only required to serve about 85% of that sentence; combined w/ credit for time served, she’ll probably get out within the next 11.5 years. I think that’s pretty despicable given that I still don’t believe she’s shown genuine remorse nor really accepted full responsibility for her actions that night. During her sentencing, she reportedly “expressed great remorse” for her actions, but I think she’s more upset at the idea of going to prison than for hitting those two people. I hope she doesn’t get out anytime soon…
she is some serial killer type damn.
Don't get blackout drunk... bad things happen.
@@BillyWitchDoctorDotCom She didn’t blackout. She got behind the driver’s wheel of a car while being intoxicated. Her decisions caused these actions, nothing else.
Were the legs part of the video????
How could that happen?? Horrible..
I know of common anti depresants that cause this. Not saying this is what happened, but I remember someone telling me once that after taking their meds if someone died at their feet they wouldn't have a flicker of emotion, and this person is one of the most caring people I know. Anti-depressants basically turn you into a zombie where you don't care. So although we can judge this woman, let us not forget that many millions of people are made this way by their medication and we don't care about that.
what pisses me off the most is most of the time, the drunk driver has minor injuries, while the family they hit is dead. then they suffer minor repercussions, if any, for the crime they committed absolutely despicable
This was the judges chance to make an example, to prove their that vehicular homicide isn’t a joke.
This woman should have got reckless driving, a DUI, and second degree murder.
The fact she actively doesn’t care she killed two people shows she was willing to take a human life that night. She decided to drink and drive full knowing she was probably gonna kill someone. She shouldn’t be getting out.
This isn’t a case of making a dumb mistake. This woman is malicious and it’s a joke that she got to graduate. At least no hospital can hire her because she has a criminal record.
The fact she feels no empathy for killing 2 people and doesn’t bother her at all is very disturbing…

I remember when capitalism was a form of consumerism in which the rights of the consumer weighed more than the rights of the producer. Slowly over the past 10-20 years this has eroded because of a lack of consumer litigation. Most millenials hate the court system and have no idea how to file litigation.

I think what pisses me off most about this is that she doesn’t have a SINGLE scratch but just took those two peoples lives :(
Cars are actually built in a way that protects most drivers who collide head on. Most cars have little to no protection from the sides. Though these victims were pedestrians so they stood even less of a chance against her car :(
A lot of times, drunk drivers are able to escape with minimal injuries because their bodies don't really get tense during a crash and are able to avoid panicking. My dad has been in a few wrecks (sometimes under the influence of drugs and sometimes alcohol) and he's gotten away relatively unscathed, only need hospital care for a couple hours.
@@GmmBeast actually the tensing part is true, the muscles don’t tense so they absorb the impact instead of being ripped/torn and the bones don’t need to take the shock, the panicking saves lives as well by overreacting and saving the victim, instead of both of them being hurt/killed

so many nurses are the worst people, i think a lot of them become nurses because it's a profession they will be praised for having and it makes them look good, and some do it because it lets them have control over people's lives
Such an insult to allow her to have a reduced sentence.
She is a menace .
And her family should be ashamed.
As should the court.
The officer's disgust with her says it all.
I have seen many variations of her arrest, longer videos, but you verbalized my feelings so succinctly.
Hope whatever occurs in jail precluded her ever getting out.
she showed absolutely no empathy upon hearing that she killed two people, only me me me. Disgusting
1. She intentionally did it. If it happens it's intentional. She intentionally murdered two people, she just happened to be on something.
2. Her family is just as much at fault. She is part of the family. They are responsible through association. The bad is always the responsibility of the group. Only good is of the individual.
Everyone she is related to are just as much muderers as her.
The worst part is that her family are crying wolf and saying she ‘doesn’t deserve the hate’ she’s ‘been through enough’. Like so have the families of her two victims. She deserves every ounce of hate thrown her way.

I'm terrified. I'm genuinely terrified. That people like this exist. I've been dealing with alcoholism for years and not ONCE have I driven under the influence and NEVER has it crossed my mind.
thats wassup
My wife and daughter wish to obtain their driver’s licenses. I don’t worry for them because of their ability to drive, I worry because of people like her are on the roads. Driving under the influence is inexcusable. I have seen first hand what it does to a family. My father’s elder brother who never drank, was a good and decent man who was involved in many charities, was driving with his family to Melbourne Australia from Canberra in our nation’s capital. They were going on holiday and in the car was my uncle, his wife, and my two cousins aged 5 and 2. A drunk driver crossed over to the wrong side of the road and hit them head on. My uncle was killed instantly, my aunt was in a coma which lasted 3 months, and my 2 year old cousin was brain damaged and put on life support. My 5 year old cousin was unscathed, physically, but endured a lifetime of mental trauma all stemming from that accident. She’s been in and out of institutions for most of her adult life. My father had to make the agonising decision to turn off life support, an act which my Nana never forgave him for but which was the best decision given her prognosis. She was brain dead and machines were keeping her alive. My father struggled with alcoholism and my family bore the brunt of his inability to cope. All because some dickhead couldn’t be bothered to get a taxi home.
I have no sympathy for those who drive under the influence.
My boyfriend's dad drove drunk all the time years ago (before I knew them). He actually went to jail for a year or so for it. Thankfully he never crashed or hurt someone, but the police found him pulled over a bunch of times sleeping it off I guess, with a high blood alcohol level. Since he went to prison he hasn't driven drunk as far as I know, but he's still an alcoholic.
I don't know how my bf turned out so well honestly; he has never drunk any alcohol because he witnessed all the problems drinking caused his parents. Similarly, when I was a teenager I decided not to ever get drunk because there's alcoholism in my family too :/
Alcoholism is a bitch; I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I hope things get better for you!
@Kfox I’m genuinely sorry to hear your struggles with alcohol. I can certainly empathise with you as I had my own struggles with alcohol and addiction. It is possible to overcome this. For me it was working on the underlying issues which caused me to want to get wasted in the first place. Once I did that, I became able to get my addictions under control. You’re a beautiful young woman with so much to look forward to in life. I sincerely hope you’re able to overcome your issues and live your best life.
@Daniel thank you. I know exactly what the underlying cause is, so I'm doing my best to work on that. There's nothing worse than feeling dependent on a substance. Baby steps!
In the 1800's, the term for psychopaths was "moral imbecile." We need to bring that back.
As a psychologist, I saw this video last week (prior to Charlie’s perspective). When I watched it in its entirety, I was horrified by how she initially tried to blame the victims and then claimed that she only hit one person (I believe these were pedestrians). The victims were struck so hard that some of their limbs were nearly completely disarticulated (i.e., torn off). She also thought she should get some type of credit for calling 911 herself. In the video, she displays narcissistic behavior to such an extreme that her behaviors are consistent with sociopathy. Being intoxicated generally enhances the mood state experienced while also being a CNS depressant. So, if someone gravely hurts another person while intoxicated, it should made a “normal” person with a conscience and empathy feel even more upset and inconsolable, particularly since she saw the bodies. Normal people would be so upset if they just killed two people; they would likely be throwing up and weeping uncontrollably. In the hospital, it was as if she pretends he didn’t just say she killed two people. She appeared mildly upset after the police officer stated his utter disgust in her behavior when she kept pressing him about her missing classes (btw the officer exhibited extraordinary restrain when he did speak, particularly after witnessing her singing, dancing, and laughing). Her upset was more incredulousness that the officer would say what he did. At that point, she asked if he was “allowed” to say what he did. She is lucky that was all that was said. I agree with Charlie; since she didn’t actually know the people she killed, she was unfazed. The video is a chilling example of sociopathy.
I did read that. You’re right, I’m a very good elective psychology student. My mind just couldn’t process the insanity of this.
You nailed it.
It’s scary people like this walk (and drive) among us.

I agree totally. Not only that, alcohol affects everyone differently, so it should be a blanket ban, a zero alcohol limit. I mean, driving under the influence of marijuana is not measured by parts per billion, that is a zero tolerance drug. If alcohol was treated as a drug, which it is, and you were not allowed any alcohol in your system for the right to drive, there would be a great deal less fatalities and injuries due to the leniency shown to alcohol.

Which is an absolute insane take for her to still have, sober, in front of a judge, showing 0 remorse. It just shows how f’d in the head she is and gives 0 f’s about anyone. Such a disgusting human.
Hey Baby girl
@@maolisa08 like she needs to live life in a fulfilling way not just for herself, but for the two people she killed because they can't live their lives since she took them away. She thinks she needs to go super hard since these people died, despite it being her fault that they're dead.
Oh my GOD :( That's so disgusting.

No she thinks she is hot and is the next big thing. For onlyfans and people on the internet. Cross examine her attitude to these onlyfans girls you see on like fresh and fit and other podcast and it’s the same thing. This girl has main character syndrome and doesn’t understand life.
That PIG should've gotten 14 yrs per person, served consecutively.
0:58 "I hate drunk drivers more than Garfield hates Mondays." Any living person with common sense can easily and simply agree with that line.
There was literally a leg in her grill
I went to school with this girl. She’s pregnant now and is going to prison for 14 years. She’s not even the only girl from Farmington who carelessly murdered people. There was another girl in my class that hit someone while texting and driving, and would laugh about her trial in class. She would joke about her friends going to college and then having to visit her through bullet proof glass. Our town breeds psycho women 😣
Horrifying...
R u lying
she was my classmate at college, I am so sorry we have a shared experience of knowing this person
Some teens are too sick in their minds
Only in Connecticut...
Watching the body cam from the beginning you see she was able to lie and claim she was not drunk. This shows a level of awareness that makes her callousness toward the people she killed more chilling.
@@tormclean9657iven that a concentration of 0.30% in your body will likely induce you to a coma, if she was at 0.25% she probably had her reasoning severely impaired and on the verge of passing out.
Not exonerate her, if one is planning to drink, always have a plan to get back home without driving.
@@tormclean9657 she could have some crazy level of tolerance to alcohol though. I was in the car when one of my (former) friends got a DUI and I didn’t even know he’d been drinking - he blew a .23 and went to jail, and I got a sweet ride home, free from handcuffs, by one of the most generous cops I ever met. Best taxi ride ever
That really doesn't prove anything, it's pretty common from what I've seen for really drunk people to be insistant that they aren't drunk. At a certain blood alcohol level near all rational thought goes out the door.
@@tormclean9657 25%? You die at around 0.5%
I don’t understand how the punishment is so light. Drunk driving is a crime killing people is a crime and yet drunk driving while killing someone is seen as less of a crime.
Ngl befor I watched moist, I had no problem driving after having a few, but now after seeing all these stories, I juat can't.
you've had a few while writing this, correct?
This happened around 6 miles from our home. Incredibly enough about 8 years ago a friend of my brother’s killed two people in a DUI around one mile from our home. He got 8 years. The couple he killed were on a motorcycle and were intoxicated with coke in their systems. I believe that is the resin he got such a light sentence. Sad
My dad is an alcoholic. Once while driving drunk he hit someone. The guy survived. Witnesses said he jumped in front of my dad's car and he admitted to it as well. As a kid I didn't understand what was going on. I still remember him not sleeping until he found out the guy was going to survive. Because of the witnesses and victim confession he was never charged but he continued to drive drunk. I had a last straw moment and walked away. I couldn't support it anymore.
Maybe you were frustrated cuz the guy survived and you weren't willing to support someone who can't kill a person while intoxicated

I was in college with this person when this happened. We were in the same graduating class. It happened just a couple weeks before graduation and the university almost let her walk in the ceremony, until this video was released and students across campus started protesting saying she shouldn't be allowed to graduate. It was a wild situation. Crazy how it went viral like this a year later
Sure
@@troysadlier1920 it does corroborate with what other people have said
I’m not gonna say I don’t believe you, but I think its safe to say that it’s hard to believe
IIRC, she was recently convicted, so she's in the news again.
Did you get a read on the kinda person she was in class?
Sentences should start 20 years per murder and more depending on reason, how, nd who they killed and intent.
My uncle was killed by a drunk driver who got in an argument with his daughters mom then got drunk with my uncle/bestfriend had people put my uncle passed out in his car then drove with him got enraged about his gf started playing chicken with semis and killed my uncle he lived due to the airbag because he was the driver no airbag for passenger at the time he tried to lie even my family only suggested 5 yrs with work release because he had kids showed remorse but upon his release not 6 months later DUI again and just a slap on the wrist!!! I agree with you 100%!!!! Drinking and driving not only kills it ruins so many others lives as well!!!
I always appreciate when you cover these topics. I was a victims of a drunk driver and thankfully I’m still here but it changed my entire life. No excuse, ever.
I really hope you just commented on this video and didnt read the replies on some of these comments. People be wildin and ridin the hell out this woman as if she did nothing wrong??? Its really not that deep: dont drive while drunk
Also hope youre doing better these days!
Hope your doing better man god bless
Sincerely hope your days get easier.
Not a victim of that myself but have chronic illnesses and have to go to the doctors monthly where I've met unfortunately too many people who were victims that suffer incredible amounts of pain or lack of movement from spinal injuries.
It's sad.
To me I was at least somebody who was genetically sick and unhealthy. People like them, plausibly you as well.... we're healthy people doing their things. Just minding their own, following the rules and some jerk went and destroyed that from them. Tore their entire livelihood up.
I remember saying at least one thing in many of my conversations with them. "It's always the people doing wrong that fuck it up for the people doing right. And yet we're the ones who feel most of the affects in the end of it all."
I agree with that but you gotta remember this still a real person. I know niggas who used to be addicted to xanax and drive off bars all the time. they wrecked their cars crashed into people and they aint get no where near as much hate as this girl did and we dont even know if shes an addict. She could've just been a casual user who got wasted out their mind did some dumb shit and didnt know how to respond to the situation while also being super fucked up.Thats she reacted with so little remorse she was tryna stay calm and convinced herself the person was still alive. yall gotta keep in mind she blew 4 times the legal limit. She chick was not in her right mind at all yall cant judge her actual character off this one situation
So glad you didn’t die bc of someone else’s stupidity. People are awful
My best friend was killed by a 19yr old drunk driver. He was 28, had daughter. He was a tow truck driver helping someone on side of the freeway & she drifted off into the side lane & clipped him. If someone you know is trying to leave a party and drive drunk, take their keys away and pay to get them an Uber home. What id pay to get him back.
They should also be someone you used to know. The keys also need throwing into the nearest body of water and calling the locksmith the next day can be a lesson.
I'm sorry for your loss. It's unfair
@@EeekiEno. Take the keys. Scrap the car. And you should abandon them. Because the ATTEMPTED TO MURDER SOMEONE INTENTIONALLY.
Stephanie Melgoza, 24, a student at Bradley University and the subject of this video, was sentenced to serve up to 14 years in prison. The maximum sentence the judge could have given her was 28 years. Illinois law dictates that Melgoza will have to serve at least 85% of her sentence, about 11 and a half years with time served. She will be in her mid-thirties by the time she gets out of prison. After she gets out her life will be a mess. She will be an ex-con which should keep her from using her nursing degree but, if nothing else, she could probably get a job in a nursing home since most of them are perpetually short staffed and hard up for nurses. She may get a chance to kill off more people significantly older than herself.
I have no doubt that after Melgoza sobered up she started to act as if she was very sorry for her actions. It's hard to say if her remorse is real or merely an act meant find sympathy but she'll have plenty of time to think about what she's done. In my youth I did some dumb things while drunk including one instance of ludicrously dangerous driving. I believe I would feel bad if I had hurt or killed someone in that instance but I can't be certain without reliving the moment. Since I do not personally know this woman I will not cast judgment over her behavior but will hope that she learns a valuable lesson from it.
People use alcohol as an excuse, but alcohol doesn't bring anything out in someone that wasn't already there. I say this as someone who drinks.
Man, that cop was way calmer than I think most people could ever be when trying to explain to her what she did wrong.
I hate drunk drivers so much.
Honestly, I don’t think I’d mentally or emotionally handle myself well in a situation where I have to explain to someone how stupid they really are when they make a decision I only see a literal sloth making, my brutal honesty would be through the stratosphere
"Erm, i hate drunk drivers." 🤓

I literally have no words for this. And its rare for my mouth to not run.
I like how she was worried about being about able to go to school when she is drunk af, knowing her dumbass she would skip class for that day even if she didnt kill people
The scary part is there so many more monsters like her who probably won't get exposed unless something like this happens.
Those "monsters" won't be sent to jail or what? 'Cuz I'm pretty sure they would be. Unless you mean you want them to go jail AND also be "exposed" by being talked about online. Which means you love the drama, and don't give a fuck about how horrible what they did is, and are just as selfish as them - wanting to see a spectacle.
The worst part is, in your narcissistic brain this type of thing is "justice".
"About 1.2% of U.S. adult men and 0.3% to 0.7% of U.S. adult women are considered to have clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits."
So yes there's literally MILLIONS more.
They just haven’t been given a good chance to kill anyone yet
yes but we literally have a word for this: it's called the "bystander affect". People are getting shot and killed and raped and murdered in America every day. You think those people concern me? You think I know their families and know who they are? Human beings are literal shit stains. Why would someone who accidentally killed two people care? She doesn't know them, they didn't know her, they weren't mentors to her or had ANY affect on her life. This strange belief that if you involuntarily cause harm to someone else that you should just fall into tears and depression and become suicidal is stupid. Nobody gives a fuck about other people. If I watched someone get shot 28 times right in front of me, I'm not crying for that shit. Sorry for your family but I don't know who the fuck you are or what you did or why you ended up shot and killed. I don't give a fuck if your mom gave you oatmeal raisin cookies every sunday after you came home from school. We as human beings DO NOT CARE about other people's lives.
Women nowadays are not held accountable for their actions
I stole a $4 bag of jerky from Walmart 13 years ago, and it still keeps me up at night. The fact that she could KILL someone, TWO PEOPLE even, and not care is *incomprehensible* to me.
Those people don't feel emotions like we do. Their brain is wired different. If you have ever seen no country for old men, she's like Anton except has a max of 90 IQ.
Lmao you crazy fool ! Go back and pay them the $4
Fr tho? Like are u actually very much bothered by this?
Stealing from Walmart is a morally good thing to do though, so sleep well
was it good?
She took the minor inconvenience meme too literally.
I'm not really sure that she just doesn't care. If something extremely traumatic happens you're brain can protect you by blocking the event. She might not be aware about what happened, add alcohol in the mix and you get this kind of behavior. When she sobers up, and her brain will release the trauma, she might be really horrified about what she did.
It does not matter. If it can be interpreted in a negative was I has to be
I lived right by where this happened. She didn't just run over two people, she hit them in an alley way at night going 70+ mph. It was a horrific scene. The couple she hit were just trying to make it to their car... she deserves well over 14 years
In an ALLEYWAY. going 70 mph in a fucking ALLEYWAY. demon behaviour
Oh my gosh that makes my stomach hurt so bad. May the people she hit rest in peace. I can’t believe she didn’t get more time. I hope karma gets her good
Given how she acted she should've been given prison for life, she's a entitled rich kid that was given all she wanted and she doesn't value anyone else's life except the one who gives her the cash. I'm frankly unsurprised she was given such an insignificant sentence for this crime because this usually occurs...
Jesus christ she shouldn't be back on the streets
I live around there also…. I remember hearing that she was in a well off family and figured she’d just get off the hook for her actions cuz of that. Hence her acting the way she did. I dunno either way shits just disgusting behavior
