And I updated my post to have both quotes to show how dumb fricks, like Caterpillar, are in jumping to conclusions.
Can you agree that had the original story included the carseat being wedged onto the center console, everyone's opinion of the arrest in this thread would be different?

They said lack of properly securing the seat to the vehicle, and loose straps.

Brittany Stephens was arrested Tuesday on negligent homicide after police found that in an Oct. 12 wreck her daughter's car seat was not secured and the straps were not adjusted correctly for the child's height, according to her arrest report.
Didn't say that it wasn't properly secured, the article in the OP says that the police found that it was not secured.

Her kids dead forever so that's a lifetime of punishment. Was it negligent? Absolutely and she'll pay that price and think of it forever. I think jail time is overboard. If she owned a daycare and someone else's kid was killed then I would feel differently. Community service maybe based on raising awareness about the state troopers checking it for free would be better than sending this woman to jail. I almost never agree with Denise but I do here.
Couldn't agree more. Locking her up does NOTHING for society but cost the taxpayers. When these types of things happen, I ask theoretically if the person would happily serve the jail time to prevent what the true outcome was. If so, then they have been punished enough. Perhaps, offer her the chance to do a commercial/speech (once a little time has passed) talking about the need for use the proper car seat.

Yeaaaaa...
Look at that pic. Did they also cite her for littering and driving an upside down vehicle?

There's really no reason to put her in jail unless there is reason to believe that she would be a danger to others, and the article didn't say whether she was also the mother of any of the other kids in the vehicle who weren't wearing seatbelts and are lucky to be alive.

why are people defending the mother/parent in this case when we see cases where infants are left to cook in the car and posters on here go ape shite..both are considered negligence.
Posted on 3/1/18 at 3:26 pm to Topwater Trout
In the case where they leave kids in the car it's only on the parent. Here some dickwad cop smashed into their car at 94. It just adds another step that makes it more of a reach in order to hold her criminally liable.
If she was driving and caused the accident there wouldn't be any issue charging her.

does it really matter? was she negligent?
Posted on 3/1/18 at 3:30 pm to tigerpimpbot
She is criminally liable because her action to put the child in that situation was a contributing factor in the death. Maybe it wasn't the cause but it contributed to it. Just as when someone dies during a robbery it becomes murder. They didn't go there to intentionally kill someone but it happened during the act so they are charged as such.

There was an unlicensed teenager driving, and they actually did cause the accident by failing to yield making a left turn without the arrow.
Although the speed of the other car is undoubtedly a factor, they technically had the green light and right of way.

This is beyond my expertise and something that will be argued in court, but would the child have lived if they were properly restrained?
To me it seems like everyone survived except the infant that was in a car seat that was sitting on the center counsel. To me that seems like negligent homicide and that mother should go to jail to prevent similar outcomes to any current or future children she may have.

You just can't admit you were wrong. You stated that BRPD only arrested her to fade the civil liability. Just stop already.

You realize I'm the one that bumped the thread with the new information, right?

Not a chance.

So if, in the midst of a nasty divorce, a guy kills his wife but other than that doesn’t plan to kill again? No harm, no foul? He goes free?

What about justice for the little girl that died because she not only put her child at risk but also was riding in a car with an unlicensed driver.
If it prevents one person from repeating this it's worth it

and in some states isn't an unlicensed driver automatically at fault?
