honestly whether she was drunk or she had leg paralysis, she shouldn't had been driving.
Right! Therefore, it was doubly irresponsible for her to drive knowing that she had a medical condition that could cause her to lose control of a vehicle and intoxicated on top of that. Very willfully ignorant and self-centered of her.
There's no such thing as a drunk driving "accident".
She should have two life sentences. She willfully drove while intoxicated. Basically driving a lethal weapon and killing children .
they hardly get life anymore for dui... the guy who killed my gma, got 8 years and was out in 2.5 yrs. got out and killed his girlfriend 3 years later in a DUI crash.... he lived. that was his 5th DUI...(he had 3 before he hit my gma, this was in Indiana)
Go look at ethan couch, he got like 2 years in jail and killed 4 people.
You can get out of anything if you're rich enough.
Parents should never have to bury their children.
@@TheBloodshotFilmsif I remember correctly he only went to jail because he violated his probation and then tried fleeing the country. His original sentence was like 2 years probation and rehab.
@@suzannen.6403 What was his sentence for killing his girlfriend in the DUI crash?
If she had paralysis of the legs - so she didn't have full control of them - she shouldn't have been driving, especially after drinking.
Unless the car was modified for hand braking etc, some people with spinabifida/cerebral palsy etc have vehicles like that. But if she was drunk she should had stayed home with the hot-wheels.
Excuses, excuses, lies.
It's amazing the lengths people go to these days to get out of paying the consequences of their actions!
Also if that were true why do she steer towards an obviously occupied building, and not a parked car, tree, ditch, etc?? The parking lot had cars and everything.
@@marih3286yup. Just excuses. My heart goes out to the injured and families of the deceased children. The mom is in critical condition. Such a terrible and preventable tragedy. I hope this woman realizes what she’s done.
She has a broken arm, meaning she was taken to the hospital after the crash. The hospital would have done a full evaluation of her. Presumably they found no evidence of a seizure; that's why the DA said there's nothing to substantiate that the seizure caused the crash.
May she never have another free day in her life.
Shameful to try to blame this on a condition when her alcohol content was high.
Who ever edited this video should be fired .
Holding drunk driver accountable. What a novel idea.
Why is that woman driving at all? Even with the medical condition alone, but add in being a known alcohol abuser. This is horrific!
Her legs weren’t steering …
But they were hitting the gas and brake. She should’ve never been driving knowing she had a serious medical condition.
Paralysis of the legs due to her mind filled with alcohol.
2 young innocent lives tragically taken.
Just imagine how much the kids suffered before they died.
That woman regardless of her reasons should be in jail for rest of her life.
Those little kids future shortened
The girl was eight and her brother was four, my sons are 44 and 41 and they still are my babies. If she had leg problems she should not be driving .If going too be drinking stay home. She needs too be in jail. Probably not the first time driving drunk .If they get too checking.They make pain meds,most of them you can't drive either while taking them ,so stay home. She done lived too get 60 years old ,these kids will never see another birthday cause of her. She needs too spend the rest of life in jail.
She can drive but with adaptive hand controls. But absolutely no drinking regardless. 😢
If she’s let home on bond she will need 24 hour security, so many people are very angry with her.
and she lives only 4 homes away from where the children were killed and others injured and is a member of the boat club. She's better off in jail for her security.
@@ElizabethHarley-ld3ivyeah, when the family member started saying “she lives 3 houses down, she lives 3 houses down” I was like….”hm. I see you, buddy”
I get it, they’re angry. They have a right to be.
This leg problem isn't going to fly with a jury or the judge. I doubt the DMV would even issue her a DL . If that's the best her team can come up with she's going to prison for sure.
Horrible crime, habitual drunk & repeat offender.
There shouldn’t be any bond.
Can’t imagine the pain and anger the families dealing with..especially when the driver was drunk but trying to use a medical defense..🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Good Grief! If she had a medical condition, then she shouldn't have been behind the wheel and now it's proven she was drunk on top of that!!!! She deserves consequences!!!
I believe in redemption, she should only get 200 - 300 years in jail.
She could get out in 150 for good behavior.
I can't even imagine what that family is going through... My heart aches for them...
Complete devastation
What a nightmare
Set the bail at 500 million dollars cash only and not 2 life sentences give 100 life sentences
We are mortified at what happened, here in Michigan!!! You are so correct, may she never be out of jail, never be free and rot in jail!! Prayers for the poor family, my God... 😢😢😢... Our hearts are so heavy for all that were hurt by this scencless act!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏..💔💔💔💔💔........
Rest in peace little angels.
This is so tragic.
She also hit a tree, and another car before she crashed into the party!
🤯😲
I will never understand why people get drunk and then get behind the wheel. Even when I'm wasted, I still have enough common sense not to get behind the wheel.
have you ever been so wasted that you wake up in the morning and don't remember driving home ? That is the kind of wasted these people get. They pass a point where they are able to make a rational decision. I'm NOT making excuses.
Absolutely disgusting.
All of his excuses for her, she shouldnt have been allowed to drive. PERIOD.
Whether she did this because of intoxication or because she knew she had a condition like this and was driving anyway, she needs to spend the rest of her life in prison. If she has this condition, she shouldn’t have had a license to drive at all.
She was drunk! 👹👹👹👹👹
Yes, everyone knows that
Don't yall forget that the other lil kids will probablely turn down their next party invitations for quite awhile due to PTSD. Sad.
I watched the arraignment on You Tube and listened to the lawyers and testimony from people who knew the suspect and victims. It was very emotional for sure. I noted that her lawyer painted her as a saint who could do no wrong but who had a medical condition and during the whole session she looked calm and collected, no emotion, and not one tear in her eyes. Listening to the pain in the family members, made me cry.
Prime example of our antiquated judicial system. Bond shouldn't be on the table. Seriously, if she had any decency she wouldn't ask for it. Her blood alcohol and medical records can be readily obtained.
Mercy to the families and responders.
No medical condition can excuse what she did she clearly was driving under the influence she should have thought twice before getting behind the wheel this situation could have been avoided praying for everyone and condolences to the families that lost loved ones
The defendants’s lawyer’s excuse for his client’s actions, that being a medical condition that causes paralysis of her legs would indicate she shouldn’t have been behind the wheel. Is it believable? No.
2 life sentences!!! Rot in jail!!
I once read a fictional tale of a world in which "the punishment fits the crime" It was mentioned how a careless driver that had struck a pedestrian was staked out on the road and given the same treatment.
Defense attorney: "My client has a condition that causes paralysis of the legs". Really? And yet she *still* chooses to drive? How is that any different than deciding to drive while drunk? What a lame excuse.
Seriously. She should have not been drinking & driving then. Bet she’s going to claim meds caused the crash next.
lame - funny
She admits to having a medical condition which could cause great hazard while driving a car yet she chooses to drive intoxicated. 86
Drunk waste of space
My name is debbie and i'm on medication due to a car accident that I was in and I no better when to drive and when not to drive due to my medications that lady is twice my age. All my bottles. I do not drive machinery. And I don't. I'm make sure of it because I'm not going to hurt somebody else if I'm gonna hurt myself. That's fine, but I'm not gonna hurt or take out somebody else. And that's what this lady did. She didn't care God, forgive all the family. May God be with you all. I feel so sorry for your loss in your pain.Cause I know how it feels. May god watch over you all
Heart wrenching 💔
Poor babies. This is clearly and open and shut case 😤😤😤..I cant stand the justice system in such cases like this especially. The poor excuse of her having a medical condition at her age of 66…is inadequate to her choices that led to two innocent young lives being tragically taken and many others traumatized. The “system” should heightened punishment for drunk drivers. No bond and take a life or lives . Eye for an eye.
No excuse for what this woman has done, Prayers out to all the Families affected by this careless drunk!!🙏🙏🙏
Terrible that the deaths of (2) children are going to be what had to happen to finally get her off the streets. 😓🙏🕊️🕊️
She did it she deserves to be punished under the law!!!!!!!!
No amount of excuses can bring those children back to their parents.
Yeah, really??
She is showing no emotion 😢
Probably still drunk!
This was not an accident. Knowingly drinking and driving is knowing getting into an thousand pound vehicle that is operated by a sober person turns that vehicle into a weapon. It’s a car crash not a car accident. They didn’t accidentally get drunk and accidentally drive the car. Heart breaks for the family and all those that witnessed this. She’s not even upset 😡
Oh my gosh, how very very sad! The poor little children celebrating a birth date and 🥳🥳. R.I.P. angels! 💔💔
As sad and difficult as it is to lose a young one, we still need to remember that children all over the world are dying every minute. We do not live in a perfect world.
Dirtbag defense lawyer will say anything to try and get his client off. What a very sad happening. (so sorry)
All that real estate, with literally hundreds (no exaggeration) of paths that she could had steered her vehicle towards once entering that parking lot, and she drives precisely into the one single spot that she shouldn’t have.
Listening to that mom broke my heart. Literally crying my eyes out. Horrible
Hopefully a wake up call for people as her cant even imagine living with murdering innocent children why do they drag this on such BS
How could someone do this? I can't think of punishment good enough fot this evil.
She 66 years old. She'll never make bond, she will die in prison. It finally caught up to her.
Why do drunk drivers always survive?
where was she drinking before caused the accident? Who ever let her drive being that drunk should also be charged.
So sad
Couple of things…how long has she had said medical condition? Very surprised at the fact that police even tested her for alcohol the way they were shielding her identity.
Same thing just happened here in Vegas last week to a family of five sitting at a bus stop. A 65 year old coming from a bar hit the family killing two of the kids. Mother and another child critically injured. The lady said she thought she had a seizure, of course no medical history. Trying to use age a medical conditions that you never had prior, to cover up that you really just left a bar- which they confirmed right down the street.
I believe there's a petition now to take the highway out of Boulder highway
saddest story ever!! makes my heart hurt
I have sadder ones if you wanna hear them
If I were that driver....give me the death penalty because I could not live with myself.
If she has a leg paralysis how did she walk to her car, these defense attorneys will throw anything at the wall to see if it sticks
Yes, they are slimey. I hate lawyers in any capacity.
If this happened to me i am going after the company that made the alcoholic beverage as a faulty product big money for lawsuit for damages and hopefully put them out of business for good
If she has a leg problem she can shut the car off with her hands.
Actions have consequences!
Sending prayers to all.
Praying for must have been terrifying 😢😮
I don't understand how the prosecutor on this case thinks the state can win the case on a 2nd degree murder charge. A felony murder conviction, according to Ohio statute, does not require proof that the defendant intended to kill the victim. The only proof necessary is A) the victim was killed by the defendant, and B) the defendant intended to commit the underlying felony. The case is lacking the second prong. Which is the defendant intended to commit the underlying felony. Driving under the influence isn't a felony. Although it should be. What is the underlying felony the driver committed that elevated this from a manslaughter case to a 2nd degree murder case?
If I had done that, I wouldn't be able to be in my skin ..I'd be out of my mind with grief begging for the harshest sentence. 😢
She needs to go to jail for life
Her legs don't work but her mouth sure does eye for an eye.
why is that that alcoholics can't sit home and drink....
I wasn't much of a drinker, and my friends were moderate. We either got rides, or did just that! Drank at someone's house that was within walking distance. It's called responsibility, and we are not members of MENSA. It's very simple, actually.
At least Diane Schuler had the decency to have been among the non-survivors of her "medical problem"...
More like paralysis of common sense and decency. The fact that she has the audacity to try to defend her actions shows us exactly who she is. Under the jail, please.
Just sad, this was 💯 avoidable
All I hear is poor me, POOR ME! This from a murderer of innocent children. That is a person in total denial, she is an acoholic. There are cosequences for your actions, poor me doesnt win in this situation.
Unfortunately, these days, the "poor me" defense often does work. PTSD, mental illness, having a bad day, etc. It's sickening.
She shouldn’t have been driving period!
Funny that she says she has a condition that can randomly paralyze her legs, but then ends up drinking and driving, killing two children. Either way she shouldn't be driving, at all. A callous disregard for life in her case.
DMV would have never issued a license to a person with that problem and if it came up after she has had her license the Dr. who diagnosed that problem has to inform DMV so they can revoke or suspend her license. I call BS on her excuse.
What is that medication?
She deserves 2 life sentences!!!
I've seen men and women get out of their vehicle that look like they can barely WALK!!!!,,they're struggling to walk,,hunched over their walker,,while dragging their left leg,!!.. like I said it looks like they can barely walk,and their DRIVING!!!!....I hate that.
Drunk wrecking lives lived 3 houses from that bar. Yet drove her car. Why she drive into the bar building?
Paralysis of the brain.
This is what alcohol does. You get behind the wheel you take away lives. These little pure souls a brother and sister why this woman knew before she got behind the what a drunk she is. This mother and father and the entire family and friends will never get over this there loving little friends. I will pray for all of you. I know what ever I say will is not the right words. People people stay off the roads. You will pay a price the rest of your life and this lady has chose this but this will never bring these children home. Please trust in god. God did not do this. I’m so so sorry.
How old were the children? They keep referring to them as babies.
I believe girl was 7 and her brother 5 years old
Jesus Christ please touch this family that is grieving with Your peace that passes understanding as only You can . Amen
She needs a new lawyer, altho maybe the one she’s got is part of the justice she’ll be facing.
Sad
😢
Why is she even getting bale. So very sad to the victim's and their family 😢
Dont know much about building codes, but, I would think the boat club would have built planters/curbs to separate the parking lot from the building!
NO BOND!!!!
If she pleads guilty she will probably serve 5 yrs. Sad but true in Michigan.
Two little angles rest in peace 😢😢 may you shine bright in the sky at night may you watch over your family’s ❤❤
