Update on the death of the WWU Student
On January 14th I wrote about the Korean student who was killed in a hit and run attack by a drunk, high 20 year old woman.
As it now turns out, the woman Ashley E. Wick is pleading not guilty on all accounts. It has also been confirmed that Wick was both drunk and high on the anti-anxiety medication Xanax at the time.
What the hell is she pleading not guilty for? I'm sure some snake of a lawyer decided it was the best legal option, which is not surprising, defense lawyers are parasitic by nature, but Wick's guilt is undeniable. She killed someone while under the influence of mind-altering substances.
Her trial has been set for June 28th, and her bail is currently at $50,000. I'm sure the parents of the dead Korean student will be pleased to know that if convicted Wick will face a maximum of 3 years in jail. 3 goddamn years. What message does this send? If you want to kill someone in Washington don't do it with a gun, just get drunk and hit them with an automobile. Plead innocent, and in the worst case scenario if you are found guilty you'll ride out an easy 3 years in a minimum security resort.
I can't help but wonder if I'm missing something obvious here, some fact or argument that someone could point to as an explanation for what I perceive to be a flagrant violation of justice. Don't drunk drivers usually receive more than 3 years when they kill someone? How about drunk, high drivers with previous hit and runs who kill people and then narcissistically plead not guilty.
I feel for the parents of the student. Its also nice to know that if someone kills me with a car they’ll receive a slap on the wrist.
