She's driving at 1:50 A.M., likely drunk and, at least according to some witnesses, on a cell phone, which makes her doubly drunk. She allegedly slowed down, then sped up and plowed the group. In spite of all that, she is charged with a misdemeanor. I hope, but doubt, that the low charge is just to hold her while they await the results of her blood alcohol test, phone records and sort out the witness statements.

What does it take to get an attempted murder charge in this country? At least the next time she does this, and they all do it again, if she is in SoCal she will be charged with murder or attempted murder since the DA's thereabouts are forcing convicted drunk drivers to sign paperwork that makes such a charge on subsequent occasions a slam dunk. Someday we'll make that paperwork a part of the licensing process.
