There is common sense, then there is the law. Generally, one does not agree with the other.

Petition...

There is a petition going on about this case on change.org. This woman needed the Casey Anthony jury and "Tot Mom" needed THIS jury. 😐

This happened

about 4 miles from my home. Austell Road is a busy divided 4 lane (sometimes 6) highway. While I don't agree with the severity of the charges I don't understand how anyone would attempt to cross that road not at a crosswalk. I have seen women pushing baby strollers across the road within 100 feet of a crosswalk and just shake my head.

I agree with you Andy. I used to live not far from there; I wouldn't try to cross Austell Rd by myself, let alone with 3 kids, anywhere other than a crosswalk. I believe the loss of her child is punishment enough. I am surprised this doesn't happen more often though because, like you said, you see it quite often.
