About a month ago, my niece was driving home from work at a
hospital that's about 60 miles away (she's an RN) after a 12 hr.
shift. On the way home dog tired, she fell asleep at the wheel,
crossed the center line (country road/55 mph limit) and hit another vehicle head-on killing the driver (passenger OK). She is
very small and was asleep, so the impact didn't hurt her either.
Anyway, the police made her take a drug test and it came back
hot for pain-killers (Lorcet 10) that the dentist prescribed. So the
charge went from Involuntary to Voluntary Manslaughter. She is
completely freaked & extremely worried (with every right). So,
Niteshift, what in your opinion will be the consequences? It is her
1st offense for anything and was wondering if she'd get years in
prison? Huge fine? I'm sure there'll be a civil suit by the family of
the deceased, but she's worried about jail...what do you think?
Input from anyone would be appreciated.
