every fucking person on the road is hopped up on caffeine, high on meds, tired etc etc. its just how it is.
it was her actions that caused it. prove to me him being drunk caused it and we have a different story. it was 100% her fault.

I agree, and I'm sure she was convicted because witnesses showed she was negligent by allowing her kids to dart out in the middle of traffic. Also, the thread title is not accurate, nowhere does it say the guy was "drunk". He admitted to having had drinks and being on medication the night of the incident, but because he fled the scene there's no way to know what his blood alcohol level was.
As a parent I can't imagine trying to cross a busy street and not restraining my child by holding their hand and crossing with them and certainly not crossing outside the crosswalk. She allows her first child to dart across the road without her, then watches as her second child follows shortly after and gets killed, you would have thought she would have at least restrained the second one before he ran out.
As a follow up to this story, she was not sentenced to any jail time, but received 12 months probation.
