She’s claiming she wasn’t driving recklessly when driving through an extended bus Stop arm running over three children killing them? My God, she only got 4 years in prison. That takes a special kind of arrogance to continue to appeal that. May this be forever burned into everyone’s memory that she knows or ever meets.

Alyssa Shepherd was cautious. Her brother confirmed their conversation to that fact as neither could clearly identify the vehicle ahead. She didn’t just ‘blow through’ a bus stop sign. She couldn’t see it because it was dark and the vehicle in front of her was too wide, eclipsing her ability to see the sign. There is nothing ‘reckless’ in her nature. Nothing about Alyssa Shepherd’s character suggested that she was ever ‘reckless’ at anything. If she was a ‘reckless’ kinda person, on the road or off, the thousands of self-righteous ‘judges’ all over the country would have reported it and it would have been used against her at trial. This was a epic tragedy. But it was a judgement call that went south, it wasn’t due to any reckless driving on Alyssa’s part. I’m reminded of the Salem Witch Trials, where my ancestor was one of the main accusors. We haven’t come very far since then in America, and that too, is a tragedy. In fact, I’d say we’ve spiraled way beyond those trials. This country cried out for Alyssa’s blood, and even if she had been ‘reckless’, it still didn’t rise to the level of manslaughter or homicide. Huge overreaction by a posturing, lame political fraction in Indiana trying to milk their moment of fame. Utter failures. On a related and hypocritical note, the pre meditated attack against her by Ingle, authorities who failed to protect Alyssa in custody, also failed to charge her with any crime. It was a violent attack and she may very well suffer from a head injury. Where were the judges when Ingle committed her crimes? Hypocrites.
