Yes, that seems to be a trend amongst the simple-minded religious zealots. Since they have "given themselves" to a higher being, therefore nothing they do is their fault. It's hard to be humbled when you are certain of your redemption. When redemption is considered to be nothing more than a few words spoken publicly at some tent revival, you end up with people who can be both sanctimonious and sociopathic.
I doubt that her 20 years (or whatever she spends) in prison will do a d@mn thing to her. When she gets out, she will still be the same inconsiderate idiot that she is now. Who knows, maybe she will do 'gods bidding' to some other hapless cyclist someday in the future.
I'm sure that it will never happen, but it would be nice if there were a criminal charge of 'reckless biblical interpretation" added to the others.
