My brother died on his bicycle when a truck hit him and killed him instantly. He was my only sibling. My mother had passed away just 3 years prior. My brother's death destroyed my father's life in that just a few years prior lost his wife. It also affected my life in losing my mother first and then my little brother. No parent should ever have to bury their child but unfortunately some drivers are not paying attention and a car is a weapon upon hitting someone as it kills. My heart goes to the parents and siblings of Oliver Stratton as they will never get over this tragedy. God bless the Stratton family.
So sorry for your loss my sister was 5 when she was hit and later died after being struck by a truck almost destroyed my mother she took a complete breakdown.... she had a 8 yr old and 2 yr old ...it was devastating for my family.
I'm truly sorry for the loss of your Brother Sharinews.... Also your Mummy, so soon before. You're so right, no parent should bury a precious child... Your poor Daddy. I have a lump in my throat as I type this...... May you remain strong & have light in your life. 💙
@@kandykitten10 Thank you Kandykitten for your kind thoughts, very appreciated. My faith in God has got me through it but the pain never leaves. Often wonder what he would work at as an adult but unfortunately didn't have the chance. All the best to you. Wishing you a Merry Christmas along with your family and friends.
So the teacher tried to blame Oliie originally? She tried to say he suddenly came into her lane of traffic??? How disgusting can she be? Let me count the ways….
Yes I agree. How did she know? The teacher was on her cell phone texting. If she had not been. She could have possibly screeched to a halt. And Ollie would be alive! ❤
What a disgusting, selfish, arrogant woman.. How evil to not take the plea deal and save this family the heartbreak of this trial...God she should have plead guilty without a plea, 1 year in jail for running over and killing an innocent little boy due to her negligent, stupid actions? Thats it and she thinks thats too much? Wow, what a horrible, cruel woman. One good thing about this going to trial is the public will know this womans face.. Nobody will employee her again or dare let her near children.. clearly shes a heartless, sad excuse for a person
She knew she was guilty since she deleted the texts on her phone. A boy is dead because she wanted to text. She has changed the life of the little child's family in a negative way forever, yet she will not own it. What a horrible selfish act. Own it!
Ikr, also driving with all four windows down while your dog is going crazy in the car is so dangerous and irresponsible 😑 don't people in the US get fined for this? In my country you can't do that, dogs have to be secured with a seat belt just like us, what if he jumps out? I understand if her dog likes car rides, but 3 to 4 times a day? Go out for multiple walks and runs instead, that's how you tire your dog out so he won't act crazy
As She broke the law by texting and driving. Laws have been in effect for at least 20 years. During that unlawful act she killed a child! That's negligent homicide! Period!
I understand this case better now thank you so much for having your professional help, for Robin she’s great. Thank you so much for sharing this case with us.
How telling is the fact she immediately deleted some texts ??? A year is nothing compared to the hell the family of this little boy is going through!!!!
How this woman, a teacher could put this child’s mother through the HELL of a trial after OBVIOUSLY being distracted and careless is shameful! She KILLED THAT BOY. Innocent people don’t delete evidence off their phones 😡 She should never be allowed near children again!
Question: how do they know that she was texting at the exact moment of impact? Has this come up or has she admitted that? I'm asking this because if the other car was waiting to turn left and he proceeded across the street where there wasn't a stop sign the witnesses car could have obstructed view of his bike. Am I observing that correctly?
I personally see at least 8 or 9 driving incidents that put cyclists and pedestrians of all ages at risk every single day. It is quite literally the wild west out there with "people" behind the wheel.
Maur ignoramus: I LIVE IN REALITY and drive a car and ride a bicycle DEFENSIVELY by wearing a seatbelt and bicycle helmet in order to STAY ALIVE and not get injured.
Agreed, but as I stated in the comments, if she felt like she wasn’t driving recklessly than she wouldn’t have deleted her texts. She pled guilty to that, hiding evidence and will have her day in court for that I believe early next year.
*She rejected her plea deal at the advice of her lawyer people, stop being so stupid and emotional that you're saying things so ignorant.* I'm not defending her but it's ridiculous that people carry on the way they do over that fact. Not a single persons offended by this would do things differently in her position. Nobody wants to be in jail as a child killer under any circumstances.
The witness on the stand is a bit plump, instead of driving your dog around three times a day. How about you take him for a walk? Dogs need exercise and it certainly wouldn’t hurt you either.

#CourtTV Catch up on the case here: www.courttv.com/news/co-v-amy-weiss-teachers-deadly-driving-trial/?
Omg, the defense is trying to victim blame a ten year old child for his own death! M'fr! Sickens me!
No accountability. This woman has no conscious. Put the family through more hell.
conscience
If she truly believed she wasn’t driving recklessly than she wouldn’t be deleting texts from the phone. Right?
UP TO one year and a fine? Are we serious, Colorado?
Exactly disgusting
10 days to a year! Wow!
Another reason to avoid blue states.
I'm dumbfounded!!
His life is worth more than a year, how dare she not plead guilty
This lady needs life!! She took a life she don’t deserve hers
Praying for Oliver's family and friends.
Defense attorney is so patronizing and rude
The defense refused a plea. What arrogance the defense team is displaying

That's so sad. Poor little kid.
I know. So sad.
One year is disgusting idc if she a old lady or not

Careless driving resulting in a death is only 10 days to a year in prison 😮. A ticket for texting an driving is stricter in my state
*Justice For Oliver* 💚
Poor taste to giggle and laugh when talking about her dog.
That lady that takes her dog for a car rides several times a day should take her dog out for runs! 😂😂 The dog is stir crazy.
Dogs need a lot of OUTDOOR EXERCISE/WALKS. NOT car rides, be put in baby strollers, or carried like babies.
Ikr, also driving with all four windows down while your dog is going crazy in the car is so dangerous and irresponsible 😑 don't people in the US get fined for this?

@@January.agree!!! It’s a bit weird
My daughter takes her dog for rides for that sole purpose.
Because shes too lazy to walk it?@traciGuthrie
Offered a plea deal with no jail time? Who does she know that is pulling strings for her?
I still don’t understand why do parents let their kids drive bikes and walk to school or anywhere with the world we live in today!!!!!
It’s normal here
Oh how heartbreaking 😢
ONE YEAR IN COUNTY JAIL??!!!
As She broke the law by texting and driving. Laws have been in effect for at least 20 years. During that unlawful act she killed a child! That's negligent homicide! Period!
A year for taking a life ???? Unbelievable
I understand this case better now thank you so much for having your professional help, for Robin she’s great. Thank you so much for sharing this case with us.
Sad. For everyone poor little boy 😢😢
Drives her dog around 3 to 4 times a day 😐
Why she rejected the plea? Bc she's a self entitled selfish person.
Ct tv said she "was" a school teacher. The school has her listed as active.
How telling is the fact she immediately deleted some texts ??? A year is nothing compared to the hell the family of this little boy is going through!!!!
I want to hear what the defendant has to say about what happened, and how it happened
How this woman, a teacher could put this child’s mother through the HELL of a trial after OBVIOUSLY being distracted and careless is shameful! She KILLED THAT BOY. Innocent people don’t delete evidence off their phones 😡 She should never be allowed near children again!
Pure EVIL
Everyone deserves zealous advocacy but the defense attorney’s commentary after each answer is just obnoxious.
I understand she was texting at the time she hit the boy ???
So the defendant learnt about the victim death on the news
Question: how do they know that she was texting at the exact moment of impact? Has this come up or has she admitted that? I'm asking this because if the other car was waiting to turn left and he proceeded across the street where there wasn't a stop sign the witnesses car could have obstructed view of his bike. Am I observing that correctly?
I’m confused, the women who’s giving her testimony was in a turning lane. How was she blocking the view of the defendant? Or, did I hear it wrong?
So sad
I personally see at least 8 or 9 driving incidents that put cyclists and pedestrians of all ages at risk every single day. It is quite literally the wild west out there with "people" behind the wheel.
All intersections are crosswalks in my state, they don’t need to be marked). Is this not true in CO??!
😢😢😢😢😢😢
WEAR HELMETS
Here we go with blaming the victim.
Maur ignoramus: I LIVE IN REALITY and drive a car and ride a bicycle DEFENSIVELY by wearing a seatbelt and bicycle helmet in order to STAY ALIVE and not get injured.
Don’t text and drive
He was wearing a helmet!! But slamming a kid at over 40mph in a vehicle isn’t going to save anyone
Snap - doggie trips in car 😝
stop interrupting the testimony with your guest. I want to hear the testimony!
Oooh I hate that defense attorney.
People shouldn't be burned at the stake over an accident and this sounds like it was an accident.
An accident that cost a ten year old his life because she was being negligent. Texting and driving is against the law.
Agreed, but as I stated in the comments, if she felt like she wasn’t driving recklessly than she wouldn’t have deleted her texts. She pled guilty to that, hiding evidence and will have her day in court for that I believe early next year.
Found the simpleton
Ummmmm Ummmmmm
So what? She is testifying in a trial where a child was killed! Get a grip. I am absolutely certain that you are not intellectually sound.
*She rejected her plea deal at the advice of her lawyer people, stop being so stupid and emotional that you're saying things so ignorant.* I'm not defending her but it's ridiculous that people carry on the way they do over that fact. Not a single persons offended by this would do things differently in her position.
Nobody wants to be in jail as a child killer under any circumstances.
This lady needs to get a job. Driving a dog around THREE TO FOUR TIMES A DAY?!
@ You have too much time on your hands.
@@oceancat0450 I'm driving my bird around later also! 🦜
Ever heard of remote or work from home jobs? wtf kind of comment is this? lol
@DamnitDana and Trump wants to fire people who work from home and not go back into office

Okay Miss perfect…. So rude.
😮 absolutely fken UNBELIEVABLE! Very rude!!
He looks like JJ Vallow😢 RIP kiddo
Just when I thought I heard it all....she drove her dog arpund because he likes car rides?!?!
Wow, this world is in tough f***in shape
How this woman, a teacher could put this child’s mother through the HELL of a trial after OBVIOUSLY being distracted and careless is shameful! She KILLED THAT BOY. Innocent people don’t delete evidence off their phones 😡 She should never be allowed near children again!
