[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 601578"] HCS, you missed my point. The driver wasn't impaired and the DA stated he knows she was not impaired at the time of the accident which is why he allowed the lower plea of negligent vehicular homicide. However, it was the marijuana in her blood- perhaps 30 days old - that led to the felony charge. And instead of being a functional pot user on a soccer scholarship to a big 10 school -- she's an 18 year old convicted felon in county jail. All because she swerved while SOBER on wet pavement and her BFF wasn't wearing a seatbelt. (And if her parents weren't wealthy enough to afford a great lawyer, she would be in state prison for 5 years. ). Both of her parents as well as she are being sued civilly by the victims family AND the uninjured passenger and her family; her parents as the owners of the vehicle and as the parents of an uncontrolled minor. Make no mistake, I know this girl and she is lovely and charming and bright. I think it's terrible and I am so sad for her. But essentially, her bright future disappeared. And in my county, my kid's "pot in a shoebox in their bedroom" could result in criminal charges against me -- the homeowner. Even more so someone were caught smoking it in my backyard. And if that someone was a minor, I could go to jail. You're a great writer with wonderful communication skills. I hope you allow your talent to flourish instead of dulling it with illegal substances. If you hadn't told us your age, I would think you are far older than your 17 years. At least 40 or so! You should be hanging out with your friends and not a devastated parents of substance abusers message board on this lovely Midwest weekend, we don't get enough of them! :smile: [/QUOTE]
