No sympathy here, either. This wasn’t a one-time thing. Now a family is deprived of their breadwinner. This was preventable. Why wasn’t she in jail as a repeat offender? SIX previous arrests?!

All it takes is one bad decision — Is there a magic number of “bad decisions” necessary before consequences should be suffered? She made the, in my mind, obvious decision to get behind the wheel of a vehicle while imparied – and, not just a little impaired, but DOUBLE the alcohol limit deemed legal. Without question, that was a “single” bad decision but to give her any “benefit of the doubt” isn’t the stance I would take. Preventable? Aren’t they all?? Any time an individual drives a vehicle while intoxicated equeates to both a “bad decision” and an action that is very much “preventable.
I know, for example, that @catlady chooses not to imbide – and she has her reasons for such. I, on the other hand, very much enjoy an alcoholic beverage and usually partake in a couple every afternoon after work. But I do this at home where I feel I’m free to partake should I choose.
When my wife and I go out to dinner and, should alcohol be served, literally only one of us drinks and the other immediately becomes the DD. Sure, we compromise and “take turns” but there is no way in hell that I will jeopardize my career, my life as I know it, and I’m sure as crap not going to have an adverse affect of some innocent person due to a “preventable bad decision”.
@ABC, I think you should wait until this 22-year-old isn’t properly punished before you start any racially-biased crap – unless, of course, you have inside knowledge and/or you are the judge/jury.
Okay — Sorry for the length and stepping off my soapbox now…

@TWG, wait a second, are you actually thinking that a 22-year-old, at this point in her life, does not know right from wrong? Wasn’t she a server at Longhorn where alcoholic beverages are served? As such, doesn’t she have the “duty to act” in refusing to serve someone who is obviously intoxicated?You seem to imply that perhaps her family life while being reared could be to blame almost as if you are stating that she was “taught” that drinking and driving are acceptable or implying that the parental unit “coulda, woulda, shoulda” done more.
I always get so frustrated when I hear people state, in one form or another, that “society” is to blame…

Did anybody see the interview with this girl’s mother? “I told her to quit drinking. No, it’s not a problem I guess she just forgets she’s drinking and drives”. OMG. This was not a one time bad decision. Even if it was, she took a life. There is no excuse. I was a teenager in the 80’s and not drinking and driving was so ingrained in our brains, we just didn’t do it. The teens I know today are that way about texting and driving. They just don’t do it.
I think, as a whole, the only people who drink and drive in this day are people who do it all the time. You don’t just decide the one time you drink in a year to get behind the wheel. You are either against is or not. If you’re not or if you have an alcohol problem (as this girl obviously did) you suffer the consequences. In this case, that might be life in jail.
I suspect this girl’s mother gave her No direction No consequences. This girl was on a path to destroying her life. She and the rest of us will be better off with her in jail.

No sympathy here either. My brother was hit by a drunk driver about 15 years ago and luckily walked away from a vehicle that flipped 3 times. We were fortunate. Drunk Driving is serious and the driver should be charged with vehicular homicide.

I do not think it matters that the woman who was killed was a police officer and I am unsure why that is such a big part of the news. The bottom line is she was someone’s loved one and she died a preventable death because of someone’s selfishness and stupidity.

No sympathy from me…she took a life.

We just spoke with someone whose husband got a $700 ticket for incorrectly passing a police officer who had pulled a vehicle over on the side of the road ( it was not him…he was just driving nearby).

I cannot imagine being a parent and getting the call that this is your child. I have known very few people whose adult children are in jail. Heartbreaking for sure. Something I hope I never experience. I also knew of someone who went to a party in their own neighborhood and was t-boned on the way home by a drunk driver…paralyzed for life.

My own children know that there are two kinds of mistakes…those that derail you a bit such as losing your wallet/keys, failing a class, etc. and then those that are life altering…such as this one above. We try to avoid the life altering ones…even though they know we will help them but there is not too much you can do on this one but take your lumps.

Our son knew someone who left a party drunk and plowed into a tree and died. They hid his keys from him and he found an emergency set hidden on his car. It made quite an impression on him.
He was working that night but he called us to tell us the story and later attended the funeral. He told us that the parents looked horrible and I replied that we would look the same way. Our little dog was plowed over before my daughter’s eyes by someone who was presumably drunk and driving in our neighborhood. Since there was no police report, we will never know.

What a terrible ( preventable) thing for this police officer’s family.

She didn’t have 6 previous arrest. She had 5 previous TRAFFIC CITATIONS and the other offense isn’t specified.

What she did was wrong and she desirves to go to jail. But while everyone sits and points and judges, I’m sure you have all been behind the wheel under the influence as well. So intead of turning up our nose at this person. Everyone makes mistakes. You shouldn’t have so much to say on situation that has nothing to do with yall.

Before everyone calls for the young lady to be burned at the stake, which is the sort of typical knee-jerk reaction seen from the average layperson, remember that getting a DUI does not necessarily mean you’re drunk.

However obviously it’s unfortunate and she wasn’t being careful. In my opinion ANY accident is unfortunate, and we have to try to avoid them the best we can.

No. Unless you’re clairvoyant and can read minds, you don’t get to make assumptions and claim to know what other people are thinking.

If anything, I consider anyone who’s lived a priviledged life to get a little bit less sympathy from me.

However I prefer to take the emotion out of the situation and be unbiased & look at all the facts first.

Camille…I am going out on a limb here and saying that this is a bit larger than a mistake. A mistake is a car accident when you are not drinking and when someone pulls right in front of you. A mistake is when I was looking at my daughter and her friend in the back seat of my car and ran into a mailbox in our neighborhood. I realize that she did not kill this police officer on purpose but she did get behind the wheel drunk and it does not say that anyone forced her …she made that choice. If you do something illegal does that fall into the “mistake” category? I do not think so. Maybe I am the only one?

Augusta asked about this yesterday and so TWG is using it for the topic today and now you think we should not have so much to say about it…can TWG win here? That is what we do on this blog… comment on situations.

It’s not that I have a ton of sympathy for the woman who killed the officer. It’s a general sadness that in addition to a life being ended, another life has also been ruined -all due to complete stupidity. I certainly don’t think Chasity intended to kill anyone, but she obviously cannot drive well, and she chose to drive drunk and look where she is now. It IS awful, and it’s even more awful for the family and friends of the police officer who is dead. There’s no way she shouldn’t go to jail. This was vehicular manslaughter plain and simple.

Whenever she DOES get back out into society, I don’t think she should ever be allowed to have a driver’s license again. Due to her prior citations for poor driving (and honestly -she’s not very old, so she’s getting at least a ticket a year here) and this capper -she doesn’t need to operate a motor vehicle.

Oh yea, im going there...

She registered a .16, she was most definitely drunk. AND her mother said she had a drinking problem. I am the first person to feel sorry for people who make bad decisions that end in dire consequences but this is not one of those cases.
@ Camille. I don’t know what world you live in but people I know don’t drink and drive. I am the only person I know who will drive after one drink. My friends and family have a strict “one drink and someone else drives” policy. Recently I had one drink at a restaurant in Florida. It turned out to be really strong. As soon as I noticed the effects, I gave the keys to my sister-in-law.
Sometimes there are grey areas in these situations. No grey here. Not drinking and driving is NOT a new concept. This girl had no regard for others, and she obviously had no regard for the court system or she would have shown up for court on her traffic charges.

DUI means that your ability to drive is impaired by either drugs or alcohol. I have no sympathy for this young lady. She chose to get behind the wheel, and unfortunately she killed someone. Hope that she gets more than a slap on the hand.

I am so sick of this ‘allegedly’ PC BS. If witnesses see you kill someone with your car, it is not allegedly. Does the fact that the victim was a cop make it somehow worse, no, but it is a tragedy that this woman went to work everyday to protect the public and some jerk who couldn’t be bothered to call a cab took her life away.

For anyone playing the race card, the victim is black, the perp white, and many of us calling for justice are white. I am, and I think the justice system should throw the book at her for a series of bad decisions culminating in the ultimate irresponsible behavior.

As for DD, I know I would love her no matter what, but I would grieve her terrible decisions and pray for the victim’s family and friends. She’s my daughter no matter what. I feel so sad for the mom, but it appears she did have an idea of her daughter’s behavior, so I feel more sorrow for the victim’s daughter, who was pulled from school by an in-person visit from the police that family members dread.

@Augusta – This weather is enough to make anyone grumpy.

No sympathy. I had a DUI years ago and it was a simple issue of a cop following me I to a parking garage, then questioning me when I got out with my groceries. Technically, I broke the law, so imhave no reason to be indignant about it. As a matter of fact, it changed the way I looked at drinking and made me look at myself pretty deeply. I didn’t do jail time, but paid, and continue to pay, in other ways.

Mine didn’t invole an accident or anyone else being injured or killed, so there’s a difference in the outcome. But as someone who tries to think logically, did my DUI prevent me from having one of those sometime later in life? Although there are no guarantees on predicting the future, the logical guess is yes.

She needs to be held accoutable for her actions. And the community has the right to protect itself from people and situations that it deems a threat to the community itself. And the community is the one that gets to set the standards.

To me, this weather is NOTHING compared to those who endure piles of snow and subzero temps all winter. I was near St. Louis 2 weeks ago and it was snowing like crazy. I stood in my hotel room and debated going out to warm my car up and drive out to eat or stay in and eat in the hotel. I stayed in! I am thrilled that we do not have to shovel or use an ice scraper on our car each day. Rain and clouds are not a big deal, to me, as we know the sun will eventually come back and then some will be complaining that it is too hot. I am worried with the daffodils and cherry blossoms blooming…since we typically have a surprise snow storm in Feb. or March if it is warm in Jan. and then I would rather be done with winter…that’s just me!

My heart goes out to the family of the deceased. She was a great person working at a job and she was killed by a bad driver. I observe drivers not yielding to these same situations on a daily occurance. Just because you live in a big city doesn’t give you the right to not slow down and give these people a break. Sure drinking was a big part of her decision making, but, it appears that she was the kind of driver that didn’t take into consideration the dangers that officers and the like face when they are in these situations. Slow down and onserve, because, the live you save maybe a wonderful person like this officer!

I feel sorry for the girl. Ya’ll are just a bunch of self righteous hypocrites in my opinion. you NEVER go 36 in a 35 zone. You NEVER roll through a stop sign you ALWAYS do 54 on the interstate and use a turn signal every time you turn or change lanes………… Yeah right.

I also felt sorry for that girl a couple of Thanksgivings back who killed a couple of people and her mom sent her car away to have it fixed. It’s sad to see young kids do stupid, preventable things that cost people their lives.

That doesn’t mean I don’t think she shouldn’t be punished. She (like MOST of you) just couldn’t believe in their were consequences to her actions. I know that NONE of you talk on your cell phones while driving, (something that has been proven to be more dangerous than driving drunk). I’m not typing TEXTING, I typed TALKING. http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/DrivingIssues/20060830105036.html

So how many of you self righteous stone tossers are Chatty Cathy while driving down the road putting MY life in jeopardy? Oh but that’s different right? It’s different because unlike this young lady you haven’t had to pay the consequences for your stupidity and lack of “belief” that it’s dangerous.

To answer your question Theresa, yes it was preventable. Yes the girl was stupid and irresponsible and yes I feel sorry for her and her family. As well as the family of the cop. But sometimes stupid does have consequences.

Because the stupid, IT BURNS!

Fred, I think what you are trying to say is that we can have sympathy or feel sorry for her without believing that she should be released and go on her merry way. I can agree with that. As many on this blog know, I work for DFCS and see poor decision making constantly. I often say I feel sorry for someone but that has no bearing on the consequences that they have to face. I might “feel sorry” for the meth. addict who’s crying as I take away her kid or an 18 yr old guy who’s locked up for shaking a baby that his girlfriend left him to take care of when he had no idea how to take care of a baby. I do “feel sorry” for the fact that their life came to that moment. Others around me will say, “how do you feel sorry for him/her”. I can’t explain it. It hurts to see another human hurting. I have to say I even felt sorry for the guy who killed the girl in Canton. I was pretty closely involved in that case. He was a pathetic human being and did the world a favor by ending his life.
I think, though, that our society can not let our feelings change the way we handle these types of situations. I can feel sorry for these people but not lose sleep over the fact that they will be in prison. There are so many other things to lose sleep over.

And Fred – you are perfect? You’ve never broken any laws? How’s that glass house working for you?

This COULD have been avoided. The girl could have stayed home and drank. She could have called a taxi, someone else should have been driving. But she CHOSE to get behind the wheel of the car. SHE chose to drive while severely impaired. Why she didn’t see the flashing blue lights on the side of the road, is unknown. But, she knew enough to stop. At least she didn’t flee the scene.

Maybe if she had left the bar earlier, or a few minutes later, this wouldn’t have happened. Maybe if she had NOT drank as much….. Now she has to live with the consequences. She killed someone. I bet she NEVER takes a drink of alcohol ever again.

But the fact is, she CHOSE this path. Now she must pay the consequences. It’s as simple as that. You are responsible for your own actions, and your actions have consequences!!! This was a consequence that could have been avoided.

@Fred – thank you! I was just sitting here thinking the same thing. We all do things that are not perfect but, by the grace of God, we are not faced with having killed another person. Does she deserve to go to jail, yes. This is hard for me because my brother is a stone cold alcoholic that drives drunk and it scares me to death for him and everybody else on the road. We can do NOTHING to reach him…and trust me we’ve ALL tried. He thinks he’s invincible and that he can drive as well after drinking as he can sober. Yes he is stupid. but what else can we do? The same as what this woman’s mother could do…nothing. Does he know right from wrong? Hell yeah. So it’s not a matter of knowing right from wrong. He’s had a DUI and has spent 2 nights in jail but that has not changed his behavior so it’s not just knowing consequences. He is doing better because he’s made an agreement with his girlfriend but I’m scared for the next time EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE but I’m helpless, especially being 8 hours away. And yes, I lose sleep over it. I won’t move home to Louisiana because I can’t deal with what is going on from here so I’d be a mess living there. So yeah I feel sorry for this girl’s family. You don’t know what they’ve been through and will go through.

Yes, we know about alcoholics here…my father in law is one. The last time I rode with him, years ago, I determined I would never get in a vehicle with him again. My children have never ridden in the car with him. Scary stuff for sure! Twenty Five years ago, I reached into my glove box ( near a stop sign in a neighborhood) to get something and barely popped into a car in front of me. No damage, as the car was so old you would not be able to tell anything either way. This was way before cell phones. Things can happen very quickly to anyone who is driving a car but getting into a car when you are drunk, tips the odds against you IMHO.

As I read ppl’s comments everywhere about this sad tragey stating their anger, sarcasim and judgement, I thought I shud say this, first of all my sympathy and condolonces to the great Police Officer family. Second of all, 22year old Chasity that most of u think is a party animal who’s finally in a cage and desreves to remain in there is my friend. Yes she is a party animal and she made the worst desicion of her life that night by driving drunk and as a result she took another person’s life. I believe if there is no punishment there will be no awareness BUT how old is she again? I am 28 and every and each one of u including me AT LEAST drove drunk once in thier lives. And at the age of 22? C’mon for godsake its the age that we all done the craziest things that we wud never do again. How many times did u get distracted by a text msg or sth u saw on the road while driving or u dropped ur phone under ur seat and tried to reach down to it? Not saying that its the same nor trying to underestimate driving drunk but taking a life in result of any kind of distratction while driving is. She’s a young girl with lack of guidance and luck. Not trying to make Chasity my friend the victim here, not at all, she messed up like every human being does but she dint get away with it this time.

I think people are fighting with their sympathy because the girl is YOUNG and was doing what many other people were doing at her age: drinking and partying and sometimes driving. It’s certainly illegal and irresponsible: but in her case her recklessness killed someone. That’s all there is to it. Life has consequences and this girl will have to face the loss of freedom and and will have to suffer the knowledge that she killed a human being and destroyed a family. The only good that can come of it is that she serves as an example to other people and hopefully it will prevent other needless tragedies.

That being said – I know that the 75S – 85N ramp is a death trap. There are skid marks and gouges in the concrete and speed bumps and reflectors and car parts from previous wrecks all over the place. Nobody in their right mind would get out of their car there and I get nervous anytime I go through the place just waiting for some idiot to rear-end me or something. I want to know why the unfortunate police officer in this case didn’t have better protection. Didn’t anyone think about stopping traffic? I mean – I am trying to picture the scene and I just can’t envision a safe way this could have happened in broad daylight with sober drivers.

Sometime we are so self righteous…we tend to forget that we are humans and even though we might not be caught breaking the law we all do it. I know Chasity personally and I can asure you that she is the sweetest and most loving person you’ll ever meet. I am filled with sympathy for the officer and her family but I am also filled with sympathy for Chasity. She made a horrible mistake and she is going to pay dearly for the mistakes she made. Just because I am filled with sympathy does not mean that I do not think that she deserves to be punished for her mistake. You guys are all on here saying the most horrible things about a girl you do not know and if life has not taught me anything it is that at the same time you point a finger and judge someone else about what they did thinking that your better than that person that something horrible always happens to you. I am sure you have family members and children and just remember that you can not control what your child does once he/she moves out and your child might one day make a stupid mistake that might cost you and your family dearly! As a 22 year old I know better than to sit and talk smack and judge other people because I make mistakes and I am not better than anyone else. It seems all of you have forgotten that!!

“I find that with you some of you guys your age has brought you nothing but stupidity!”

REALLY? Talk to me when you are 50 years old. I am the mother of two children your age, so I do see lots of young adults in the same age bracket. Different people make different choices and thus there are different outcomes. I have met some amazing young adults. My daughter has a friend at UGA who has straight A’s and is trying to get in Vet School. This is NO small task. She has taken several of the same classes my son ( now a Pharmacy student) took and he did NOT get straight A’s. Same daughter has another friend who is heading into management at Chik Fil A. Again, I am in awe at what this girl has accomplished and pretty sure she would not be in the same position above. Not everyone is out to party their life away while they are young. Here is one thing that a stupid old woman knows: you can be very sweet and loving and even adorable but if you make a choice to drink and drive…that may overshadow everything else and change your life. Plenty of people who were called all of those words have gotten into big trouble.

Sorry but I am not impressed with your post and you may feel the same about mine. The difference is that I AM an old woman and have seen and done probably a lot more than you have, so IMHO you have limited experience in your view.

The number of tickets that she had is a red flag for me. Usually someone with that many tickets is a habitual speeder- one only gets caught a fraction of the time one speeds. So she was in the habit of driving unsafely, would be my guess. She probably thought it wasn’t a big deal, but this last time turned into a big deal…..

I do feel sorry for her, as she did not intend to kill, but I think that the punishment is deserved – driving is a big responsibility and needs to be taken seriously.

The soccer or any moms/dads out there gabbing on the cell phone and not paying attention are just as guilty as a drunk driver IMO. They know when they pick that phone up while driving, they are going to lose 40% of their concentration so why do it? People think that it won’t happen to them but it could be just as deadly as what this young lady did. My heart and prayers are with both of these families. A sad sad tragedy that has forever changed the lives of both familes. And I am not perfect. Like Jeff, I got a DUI 15 years ago and I learned from it. But that being said, I could have very well been the one who killed someone or myself. Please stop judging people so much. It could be you or a loved one in this same situation one day.

I drive near that area all the time and it is scary IF YOU ARE SOBER. Driving near there after you have been drinking is just beyond stupid. My speed was about 20 miles per hour for the mail box and about 10 mph when I was looking in my glovebox. I think I would be on the soapbox if I were simply complaining about someone who has had an accident, which I have never had but it could happen to me tomorrow though.

I meant we as human beings we mess up sometimes taking a wrong desicion and we get the chance to regret it later saying “Thank god I got away with it”, generally speaking not talking of drinking and driving here. Chasity messed up that night and dint get away with it meaning dint make it home safe which I believe everything happens for a reason and I again say she deserves the punishment for it.

I know Chasity personally, I went to high school with her, she hooked me up with one of my exes that I dated for a while. She is the sweetest person I have ever known. She is one of those girls that is cool with everyone, she is not stuck up because her life was anything BUT privileged. If u saw the interview with her mom u would see that she was living in a trailer park. That being said, she also took a life and of course she needs to be punished for it, but I can only pray that the court doesn’t try to make an example out of her. I have sympathy for her family as well as the cops family.

All you people making snap judgements and saying she deserves to rot in a prison cell act as if u are some type of angel. Yes what she did was stupid, but dont u think she knows that? Dont u think she is going to regret this for the rest of her life? Dont u think the fact that she accidentally KILLED somebody is gonna alter her mentally and physically? She is not a cold blooded killer….

I think we all realize all sides of the story. This story is not unique. It’s a tragedy. That is the danger of mixing alcohol with driving. Didn’t anyone tell you? Didn’t anyone tell her? I think they did. I hope you’re listening. THIS IS THE DANGER OF DRINKING AND DRIVING. This is what people mean when they say “DRINKING AND DRIVING KILLS”. It’s just a tragedy. Texting and talking on the phone HAVE AND WILL do the same thing. Looking in your glove box or changing the radio dial, also. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD EVERY SECOND. Hopefully it will not happen to any one of us. But if you drink and drive, it could kill someone and ruin thier life and it will ruin yours too. It’s just a fact. It is a foregone conclusion.

Dont get it twisted, what she did was wrong, and the victims family deserve some type of compensation, but how does locking her up and throwing away the key benefit anyone? I say she deserves 1-3 years max…I spent one night in jail for underage drinking a while back and that was all I could handle. Trust me, she will have def. learned her lesson by then. There is no way that going to prison for a year wont change her outlook on life.

Hello

And get your facts straight people, she didnt actually hit the cop, she hit a parked car which then ran over the cop. Where was this parked car anyway? Im guessing it was probably sticking out the side of the highway. The area that this happened at is known for accidents, so there are other factors at play besides her drunkenness.

You act like drinking and driving is the ultimate sin. Just b/c she was drunk doesn’t take away from the fact that she is a good person who doesn’t deserve to be in prison with REAL MURDERERS and convicts for 15 years, which is the max for 1st degree vehicular homicide. When she gets out, her mom will probably be dead and she probably wont be able to get a job. Thats the perfect set up for her to turn to a life of crime to survive.

So that makes it different that the car run over the police officer? Not the girl’s car, but another car?

There’s been discussion – I don’t know how far along it is – centered around the charges brought against someone who gets into a car and kills someone. Is it voluntary or involuntary, is it murder, or manslaughter – I haven’t been following it that closely honestly.

The issue is that you made a decision to get into a car while under the influence. You made a decision to drink to inebriation. You got into that car, drove and, I don’t care if you hit the office directly or otherwise, killed someone. Whether she is a good person or not, is moot. She’s a 22 year old, young woman, who has a history of traffic violations, and on two occasions did not show up for court appearances.

Sorry, can’t feel sorry for her.

How many could pull the trigger, flip the switch, administer the injection, or whatever? I do, I have, and I could. And I would feel sorry for the person as I was doing it.

@Fred..yeah, I was a little surprised that someone took that from your post also. I thought you made yourself perfectly clear.

To all of you who suggest that everyone has driven after drinking at some time or another, you are wrong. I can name at least 25 people in the next 2 minutes who have NEVER and would NEVER do that. I am 40 yrs old and have experienced more than some and less than others and have been around all walks of life. There are many, many people who choose to make good decisions and are rewarded with good, stable lives. This may be boring to some of you but it is LIFE. You all need to grow up and learn from this experience. When your parents, grand parents, public service announcements etc.. say “Drinking and driving kills”, “stay in school”, “bad decisions will haunt you”. YOU NEED TO LISTEN and stop thinking you know everything. I can guarantee you when you are 30, or 40 etc.. You will realize how wrong you were. Hopefully you won’t have to learn that the way that Chasity did.
And to the person who says Chasity should serve 1-3 yrs, well that is not up to you. She took a life. Not by doing somethig kind of stupid but by making a very obvious deadly choice that she made time and time again. I tend to think that “unzipper” knows the truth and if Chasity gets out in 1-3 yrs she will be right back to her ways. AND every other stupid young person who thinks they know everything will be able to look at her as an example as to how drinking/driving and killing someone only gets you 1-3 yrs, hey, it’s worth the risk. Our court systems are way to lenient already. I’m with whoever said, “it scares me that you all will be making the laws someday”. Come on, give everyone a chance, everybody makes mistakes. A very lovely woman with a very lovely 22 yr old was struck down, literally, in the prime of her life. 1-3 years? really…

Hello

January 27th, 2012

That is what’s so messed up about our legal system, good people who don’t deserve to be locked away for decades end up coming out as hardened criminals with no where to go. And the court will probably try to make an example out of her since this case is pretty high profile…which is unfortunate for her.

@janegoose My point was that driving to work is innocent and if u get into an accident its not b/c it was bound to happen…ur not a bad person for driving to work everyday, just as she is not a bad person for being a party animal. sometimes life just sh!ts on good people. and yea her personality wont make the family feel better about what happened, but neither will the destruction of another life, which is essentially what will happen if she is given the max sentence.

@homeschooler are u kidding me? Do u not understand the fact that this girl is a normal person? She is not a killer. THE FACT THAT SHE KILLED SOMEONE IS PROBABLY KILLING HER INSIDE. that fact alone could make any normal person change their ways. And I never said it was up to me…thats wat I am hoping for. Who r u to say what she will or wont do when she gets out?

You people rly have cold hearts….wat if that was ur daughter about to get thrown in prison with rapists, murderers and serial killers? And I know what ur gonna say “what if that was ur mom that died.” I would be sad but considering the circumstances, I would not wish eternal suffering on the person who took her life(especially someone so young w/ so much potential), unless that person had a history of DRUNK DRIVING. chasity doesn’t. u ppl are just assuming she does off what u gathered from some nonsense that her bewildered 80 year old mom babbled after being bombarded by news cameras at her own house. she has a history of bad driving, and unless u all are nascar perfect when behind the wheel, thats nothing to frown upon. Like I said, she deserves to serve time for taking a life, but treating her like she is no different from a cold hearted killer is preposterous.

Yall keep saying its not a mistake to drive drunk its a choice…ok well the choice she made was a mistake. Besides, last time I checked people dont make the best choices when they are drunk. I bet half of u baby boomers were a mistakes.

I feel sorry for her — her life, as she has know it, is over. She will always be “that girl” who got drunk and murdered someone. Do I have any sympathy for her? No. She’s an adult, and she’s been as bombarded as the rest of the world on the dangers of driving while under the influence. She can’t plead ignorance. My sympathy is reserved for her victims — the policewoman and her family, who will be living this nightmare of watching their young adult child, who had her whole life in front of her, completely ruin it.

I always told my kids that I will support and love them no matter what — but if they get a DUI, they are on their own when it comes to legal fees, etc., because I had no intention of paying for their active decision to be stupid.

I had a co-worker a few years ago who ended up going to jail after a DUI that involved a fatality. She was celebrating passing a rigorous professional exam — and on the way home, after one too many margaritas, made a wrong turn, hit a car and killed the driver. She had a good driving record before that. The legal process being what it is, it was almost a year before she went to trial — and at that point, she was expecting another child. She was sentenced to jail, but sentence was delayed until after she gave birth. She went to jail when her baby was just a few days old, for 10 years.

@Hello: For someone who is not a killer, why is someone dead? The girl probably does feel awful. Feeling bad isn’t going to undo the consequences of her poor decisions, though. It wasn’t premeditated, but when she made the decision to drive drunk, at over twice the legal alcohol limit, she made a conscious choice to take a risk. The problem with DUI’s is that when someone chooses to take such a risk, they endanger not only themselves, but everyone else on the road — none of whom made the same choice to chance the same risk.

I agree with you, this experience will probably change her. However, since she has shown a consistent record of flouting traffic laws, it is fair to say that she has not shown an ability to learn from those mistakes. Most people figure out after a speeding ticket or two that they better slow the hell down a bit. (I bet her insurance bill was terrifying.)

My daughter will be 21 in a few weeks. I would be crushed and heartbroken if she ruined her life with such a stupid choice, and I would spend years wondering if there was something else I could have done or said to have caused her to make a better choice. But, at her age, her choices — right or wrong — are her own. I’d much rather be dancing at her wedding and enjoying a grandchild in the next 10 or 15 years instead of visiting her once at month at the woman’s prison. Decisions carry consequences. Perhaps the consequences this young woman will face will help wake up her friends to the cold, harsh realities of life.

@DB Why is someone dead even though she is not a cold blooded killer? B/c a mistake was made. When I was younger, a friend of mine accidentally killed his friend b/c they were playing with a gun. Went to court and got 7 years…he later committed suicide. He couldn’t handle the fact that he killed someone, and to top it off he would have to spend almost decade in prison. I dont want to see the same thing happen to Chasity.

Like I said, there are other factors at play here. Im not taking away from the fact that a life was lost, and I am not trying to justify what she did, I am merely considering ALL OF THE FACTS. There was another car involved in the accident, which was parked on the side of the highway at a place that is known for accidents b/c of SEVERAL blind spots. This is the car that Chasity hit, which then hit the officer. Its not like Chasity saw the officer but was too drunk to avoid her. In my opinion, anyone could have hit that car.

And to the people saying that she must not have good friends..I would have to agree with u…Just found out that there were ppl in the car with her when this happened :-/

This is the problem. We have people saying, “It was just one mistake,” and “She’s really a good person who deserves a second chance.” Guess what? There are consequences to someone’s actions. I don’t care if this was the first and only time she decided to drink and drive (which doesn’t sound like the case), but she committed a crime, and then she killed another human being. There are consequences to that! Why are we feeling sorry for her? How about feeling sorry for the family of the police officer she killed? How about feeling sorry for those innocent kids? I’m so tired of people expecting to get out of trouble by using the excuse that it was just a mistake. It wasn’t. It was a crime. I got a ticket once for running a red light. It was a mistake, but I had to pay the fine anyway. Because actions have consequences. So, yes, she should go to prison. Forever? No, but for longer than just a year or two.

Pretty much everyone except one mindless asshat agrees with that irisheyes. I think that poster called them self Quad Squad or something. The post sounded more like a troll.

I will however maintain what I said on page one. I feel sorry for the girl. I feel sorry for the victim. What the girl did was stupid. She will have to pay for it. but to say she is undeserving of sympathy to me is just utterly stupid and callous. Sounds like something a Baptist or a fanatical wacked out republican would say (don’t confuse fanatical wacked out republicans with normal republicans dammit).

Where is your heart? Have you none? Of COURSE she has to pay, and will. I still feel sorry for her and her family as I do for the police officer and HER family. Everyone in this situation is a loser, no one “won’ anything. But justice must be served so that others can see there IS a consequence.

Although “Hello” lacks the ability to communicate as an adult in an adult forum, the little that I HAVE been able to decipher makes some sort of sense. What will be served by sentencing Chasity, to 10 years? Nothing.

My family has a close friend who lost her husband to a drunk driver when their only son was 3. She spent 15 years raising the child on her own. She did a great job with plenty of family support. A month after he turned 18 he was driving home from work, just like his dad, when a drunk driver killed him. Due to stupid decision by two morons she lost her family. There shouldn’t be a second chance for drunk drivers. First offense should be a year and a day in jail (the day means no parole). If there is a second offense it should be 5 years with no chance of getting another driver’s license.

I think it is interesting that this “accident” happened the same week one of our illustrious state representatives proposed a bill to erase DUI convictions after five years. Who elected that moron?

Fred, that’s true, but misleading. A 98lbs woman can blow a .08 is she hasn’t had anything to eat that day off one beer. But for a 98lbs person, 1 beer would get you buzzed. My baby brother is a 210lbs 6′4 very healthy guy, drinks 1 or twice a year. 1 beer makes him feel buzzed.

Chasity was a small girl – 4 beers means she was drunk. They taught her this in high school, her mom told her she was going to kill someone. You are responsible for YOU knowing how many beers you can handle – if it’s 1, then it’s 1. No excuses, no justifications – they law protects innocents, and driving is not a human right. If you don’t obey the rules, you go to jail for a LONG LONG time.

I feel very sorry for this girl.

20 years ago, when I was 20, I hit a 58 year old man while driving drunk. Thankfully, he did not die, but sadly, I did injure him. When I was in jail, I kept praying that I could go back in time and do it differently. I was fixated on this, and started mumbling it to myself. I tried to force the idea from my mind, because it was all I could do…but it just kept coming back. I also thought maybe I would be better off dead.

In the 20 years since it happened, not one single day has gone by where I don’t think about it. I think about the pain I caused a stranger, my family, and I think about what my life might have been if I hadn’t made “one mistake”. Needless to say a DUI conviction is a hard thing to live with.

I’m sorry for the families loss.

@ Fred “What will be served by sentencing Chasity, to 10 years? Nothing.”

First of all, I see girls like this all the time. I think the likelihood that she will change, even after she killed a person, is low. Most people do not change, especially when they have such a challenging upbringing as she appeared to have had. Honestly, if this were an 18 yr old college girl who left a party mildly drunk (.08) and killed someone I might agree with you. Someone who was just young and stupid and was raised to know better and had the coping skills to move on and make something out of herself. This girl just seems like a train wreck to me. If they let her out of jail in a year or two, she will be right back to her ways. I’d bet you anything. So, to answer your question, 10 yrs would (1) keep the rest of the community safe from her reckless ways. And (2) maybe 10 years would actually give her the time to grow up, really grow up and process where her life was and where it was going and what she can do to change that. The consequence HAS to be steep and harsh (I’m not saying life in prison) but if it is not, we will never make people understand how serious this is. People will just continue this behavior, the officer’s death would be completely in vain. How crazy would it be if 3 yrs from now, this officer’s child has a baby. She’s overjoyed but crushed that her mother can not share this wonderful moment or this child’s life and Chasity is 25 yrs old and free as a bird, probably partying with her friends again. 10 yrs is the least I think she should serve. If she gets out at 32 she can still enjoy and long, fulfilling life. If she is a strong person and truly sorry for her actions, she will make the best of this and feel as if she served her time, forgive herself and make something of her life. I agree that she should never be able to drive again. It’s just too great of a risk. We see too many of these repeat offenders. To many tragedies. Preventable tragedies.

One drink=1st degree murder.

@tommygun- where the hell are u getting these stats from? Alcohol affects everyone differently. Yes there is a ratio when it comes to body weight and how much u consume, but when it comes down to it, TOLERANCE determines how much X amount of alcohol will affect ur body. U contradicted yourself by giving the example of ur brother, who seems to have the lowest tolerance of any grown man on earth. Chasity probably has a really high tolerance(even though she is small), which led her to make this stupid decision.

@Homeschooler- take it from someone who knows, chasity was everything BUT a train wreck. Idk if its the sh!tty life u lived seeing all these girls make dumb decisions, but u shouldn’t assume that she has “bad coping skills” just based off what you’ve seen from this case. Of course she seems like a train wreck now….SHE ACCIDENTALLY KILLED SOMEONE. And what do u mean she will be “free as a bird?” She will still be haunted by this day for the rest of her life just like the officers daughter, only difference is that she won’t have as much support b/c heartless ppl like u automatically assume “hey she drank and drive, toss the book at her and good riddance.” I dont think u truly realize what a DECADE IN PRISON entails…especially for a young and attractive lady like her. It might as well be a death sentence b/c her life will be over. Yea she will get out when she is 32, still relatively young, but where will she go? Her mom will most likely be dead by then, and its sad to say, but a decade from now Im sure all her close friends will have moved on. If she gets out in a decade she won’t have a “long fulfilling life to look forward to.” Do u kno how the government treats convicts? She might as well leave the country. At least a 3-5 year sentence will give her some type of hope. It doesn’t take a decade for someone to truly change and repent.

Your logic is baffling. Your basically saying, “so many tragedies have happened before, lets prevent another POSSIBILITY by destroying this young girl.” That’s a very paranoid way to look at this situation. It doesn’t matter if she is in jail, ppl are still going to drink and drive, ppl are still going to do what they want to do. Nobody is going to TRULY learn from this situation other than the ppl involved. That’s the harsh reality of the world we live in, its a dangerous place, and bad things happen to good people all the time. I tend to have faith in ppl, they can change for the better.

I can only hope the court doesn’t take the “lets make an example out of this girl” route. How many times have they done that in the past? NOBODY IS GOING TO LEARN ANYTHING. Get that through ur skull. Ppl who are not close to those involved in this case couldn’t care less about the outcome. If our government spent more time trying to rehabilitate rather then decimate, our country would be a much better place. They should take this as a opportunity to IMPROVE her decision making skills. You act like if ppl see how “steep and harsh” her consequence is then they will react in a positive manner…as if this has never happened before. “omg she got ten years, im going cold turkey.” No…there gonna say “dam did u hear about the girl that got ten years…should have got a better lawyer.”

I have no sympathy for that woman either, and she was driving sober! But that’s because you could tell she wasn’t remorseful and the only thing she regretted was getting caught.

@hello

you seem to be stuck on the idea that she accidentally killed someone. She did not. It’s 1st degree murder. You take one drink, blow a .08, and kill someone, and it’s not an accident, because YOU CHOSE to drink and drive. Taking a drink and then driving is pre-meditated murder. You don’t seem to understand that. YOU have a choice NOT to kill some by not driving while drunk.

Is Chasity remorseful? No. If she was, she would have listened to her Mother (who told her she was going to kill someone). 6 tickets in 5 years (2 court dates she just decided she would not go) is not someone who is remorseful.

She murdered someone by her own premeditated actions, and as such, should be in jail for as long as the law allows.

also, making an example of her is a proven way to prevent future murders. For example, my daughters high school had a convicted drunk driving teen (whos passenger died) come to the school and talk to the student body about what his life was like, and what it was like living with the death, and going to jail. My daughter (now 30) told me she has never had a drink and driven because the thought of going to jail for 15 years and hurting someone scared the crap out of her.

100%, making an example of her will save lives, has in the past.

My uncle was hit by a DUI driver in December 2010…his body, not his car. This is in Louisiana but, if convicted, she will face 3 to 30 years. My grandmother doesn’t care what she gets because nothing will bring my uncle back (his children are not quite as kind) but my thing is that this broad will learn nothing from her time in jail. She is trying to plead not guilty (that she wasn’t driving) even with all the physical evidence that proves that she was driving. She has been in jail since December 2010 and had a court date of July 2011 but has asked for another continuance. I hope Chasity learns something from this and makes better decisions later.

Denise, sorry about your uncle. I agree about Chasity, I read her facebook page before it was taken down. Basically her attitude was screw all us, she was going to party as hard as she wanted, and didn’t care what anyone thought of her.

I also place some blame on the mother. Chasity was living under her roof, the mom was paying for her car, and she knew her daughter was getting plastered and driving like a maniac. What should the mom have done? Tell your daughter to move out if she doesn’t play by house rules. Stop paying for her car. Call the police and tell them. Seems hard, but not as hard as her next 15 years in jail

Comparing that women to Chasity Jones is very accurate, Both selfish. She was going to jail, hence the tears. Maybe someday she will truly understand the magnitude of what she has done and feel sorry. She is old enough to make decisions. The legal drinking age is 21. I was taught from high school on the dangers of drinking and driving. She made a choice that night. She made that same choice many nights, this was the first time it caught up with her, and unfortunately the City of Atlanta lost a good officer, and a young lady lost her mother. There is no excuse.

LOL@U! you must have failed 6th grade civics class. Pretty basic stuff. If you rob a grocery store with a toy gun, and casher pulls out a real gun, then “accidentally” drops the gun, it fires and kills him, guess what? But for your premeditated actions, the cashier would still be alive.

Here is the legal definition of murder 1
“first-degree murder is defined as an unlawful killing that is both willful and premeditated”

She willfully drank and drove. She could have had a DD, could have called a cab, she could have chosen not to drink. They taught her this in school, she was told that drunk driving is pre-med murder. All states have a felony rule that says if you murder someone while committing a crime it’s premeditated. How could you not know that?

She is being charged with murder 1. What are you going to do now, Einstien, put down your xbox360 controller and call the states district attorney’s office and let them know they are all stupid and don’t know what premeditated murder is?

I know being a responsible adult is a hard thing for you to swallow, and law school is not in your future – you babble your ignorance of the law all you want, it doesn’t change that fact that she killed someone while committing a felony – that is murder 1 (ie, premeditated murder). Pay attention in school, and you would know this.

Interesting comments about what “we all” do. For myself, I drive “like an old lady”, not only do I usually drive under the speed limit, but I KNOW what the speed limit is on all the roads I drive ( I think a lot of speeding is because people don’t pay attention ),
I don’t get behind the wheel intoxicated,
my kids get told “I’m driving.” when they want something from me,
I’ve driven with a baby screaming at max volume while safely strapped in his car seat (screaming means breathing, and breathing means alive),
even my dog had a harness clipped into a seat belt.

You can drive safely IF
you make it a priority.

If six citations haven’t driven the point home yet for this woman (sorry, 22 is no “girl”)

Once again u prove ur stupidity.

If someone is killed while a felony is being committed, its classified as FELONY MURDER. Not premed. I thought that was common knowledge. Won’t allow me to post links but look up felony murder.

http://felonymurder.org/

Premed murder-Premeditated murder is the crime of wrongfully causing the death of another human being (also known as murder) after rationally considering the timing or method of doing so, in order to either increase the likelihood of success, or to evade detection or apprehension

No judge in their right mind would EVER charge a drunk driver with premed murder.

*She is being charged with murder 1. What are you going to do now, Einstien, put down your xbox360 controller and call the states district attorney’s office and let them know they are all stupid and don’t know what premeditated murder is?*

Hey genius, she is being charged felony first-degree vehicular homicide, I’m just hoping her lawyer will be able to get it lowered to one of the charges I mentioned before. You obviously didnt even read the article b/c no where does it say she will be charged with pre-med murder or murder 1. Now please, go take your Alzheimer’s medicine and have a nap.

@hello,

You idiot. 1st degree muder is defined as premeditated murder. 1st degree vehicular homicide means she did not “accidentally” drink, and when she turned the key on her car, she intentionally drove drunk – it is defined by the law as “premeditated murder”.

here you go:

“with malice aforethought—a deliberate and premeditated killing of another motivated by ill will. All that was required for malice aforethought to exist is that the perpetrator act with one of the four states of mind that constitutes “malice.”
The four states of mind recognized as constituting “malice” are:
1) Intent to kill,
2)Intent to inflict grievous bodily harm short of death,
3) Reckless indifference to an unjustifiably high risk to human life (sometimes described as an “abandoned and malignant heart”), or
4) Intent to commit a dangerous felony (the “felony-murder” doctrine).

You only have to have one of the above for malice afterthought. Literally HUNDREDS of people are in jail on 1st Degree “pre med” murder charges – what are you going to do now, Sport? Call congress and get all those murder 1 (yes, pre-med) charges overturned?

In a nutshell, Thomas Jones was charged with 1st degree “premeditated” murder and is serving life in prison.

Jesus, you’re stupid. The law says, when you intentionally commit a crime, and someone dies, it is INTENTIONAL MURDER. She is not being charged with 2nd degree murder – she is being charged with 1st degree murder. You can type in all caps what you believe all you like – it will not change the fact that she intentionally drank, and that is a premeditated action.

So what are you going to say now, you friggin half-wit? The above article is fake? Thomas Jones really wasn’t convicted on 1st degree and was sentenced to 30 years?

No way, this is not a tragic loss of potential for Chasitys life.

This classy young lady told her own mother to “F@ck” herself when she tried to help her, and let her know that drinking and driving would kill someone. The “F” word was the most frequent word out of her mouth.

Gail Thomas was a giving human, her loss is tragic.

The DA should ask for life, and let her plea down to 30. Lets hope she at least gets 25, get her past her breeding years so she doesn’t have a child as dumb as her in our gene pool.

It really just depends on the severity of the case. In this case, since she only killed one person, I’d say 2nd degree murder is the WORST possible charge. But at the end of the day, ur opinion is irrelevant b/c she has already been charged with first degree vehic. homicide. They’re not gonna bump it up to first degree murder unless new evidence suggesting to do so is provided. And I forgot to mention before, she can’t be charged with felony murder b/c dui only becomes a felony for repeat offenders. This was her first dui.

@Hello,

1st degree vehicular homicide = pre-meditated vehicular homicide (by definition). That’s how the law is written. 1st degree vehicular homicide just means that instead of using a gun in your murder, you used a car. It’s a felony – she is being charged with 1st degree premeditated murder by use of automobile.

Chasity is a murderer (someone is dead by her hand) by definition. If she pleads not guilty, and goes to trail, and they convict, she’ll very likely get the max sentence.

Yes, it depends on the severity of the case. This one is pretty bad. Double the legal limit, very poor driving record (missed court dates, 6 tickets in 5 years), and worse, a family member stating that she was a habitual drunk driver. It’s very possible (based on her mothers statements) that they could declare her a habitual violator and bump it to 5-25 years, which very often happens.

A lot of times they charge you with the worst, then drop the charge down if you are willing to plea (much cheaper for the county). In this case, since it’s “one of their own” I bet she gets 10 years…she might get parol after 5 and be free.

Driving is not a right, and part of being a responsible adult is knowing the law, and knowing there are consequences for your actions. I thinks it’s great that you are sticking up for your friend, but making excuses, shouting that the laws are wrong and unfair won’t change them. Now that you know them, you can honor Chasity by making sure your friends don’t commit the same kind of murder, make sure they know that they have a choice, and have to be smart, not just for themselves, but for those around.

I don’t care and society doesn’t care what YOU think the definition of a murder is. When someone is dead, and at someone else’s hand – that makes them a murderer. An accident is something that can not be avoided. This was not an accident – that is why she is being charged with murder 1.

If she is not a murderer, someone would not be dead. Very simple, common sense. She did not accidentally raise the drinks to her mouth, and she did not accidentally fall behind the wheel with her car keys in hand.

Yes, I know, you think “laws” are “pretty stupid”. I hear that from kids like you allllll the time – personal accountability at your age is tough to swallow….you’ll get it someday.

Great points, Bob. MADD is pushing congress to pass a DUI Murder law. It says if you kill someone while driving drunk, you go to jail for an automatic 30 years. Our MADD chapter has written a letter to the DA asking they not let her plea out. This is an opportunity for other teens to learn, and harsh penalties have been a proven method of curtailing drunk drivers.

Once that happens, that bulldyke will trade her for services (drugs, cigs, personal favors).

That could have easily been her who died, but funny, the drunk driver always never does, I hate to think of it like that, but, she should be made an example out of.

Well, according to her own mom, this was going to happen sooner than later. RIP, Officer Thomas.

Indeed, prison is a rough place. It will probably be the best for her though. If someone doesn’t claim her then everyone will want a piece.

White trash filth. Let her rot in prison until Gail Thomas comes back to life.
