UPDATE: 07-27-2011 'Just spoke with the National Action Network in Atlanta...Ms. Nelson was given one year probation! Did advocacy save her? Most certainly!
MORE OUT OF GEORGIA ...
THIS IS HORRID. THE MAN WHO KILLED HER CHILD HAS HAD THREE PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS FOR HIT AND RUN AND SERVED ONLY 6 MONTHS FOR THIS CHILD'S DEATH. HE ADMITTED HE WAS DRINKING PRIOR TO THE HIT AND RUN, CAUSING THE DEATH OF MS. NELSON'S 4 YEAR OLD SON.
NOW MS. NELSON, A COBB COUNTY MOTHER IS LOOKING AT THREE YEARS, CONVICTED OF VEHICULAR HOMICIDE FOR NOT USING A CROSSWALK. SHE HAS TWO CHILDREN TO NURTURE. THIS IS ABSURD!
MS. NELSON MADE A GRAVE ERROR IN JUDGEMENT THAT SHE WILL CARRY FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE, THE LOSS OF HER SON. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
HOW MANY OF THOSE JURISTS THAT CONVICTED HER USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WITH THREE CHILDREN IN TOTE? JUST CURIOUS.
WOULD THE OUTCOME HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF SHE WAS WHITE? ONE THING FOR SURE, IF MS. NELSON LIVED IN DUNWOODY AND DROVE A MERCEDES, THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
PERHAPS THIS DA SHOULD FIND "JUST" THINGS TO DO WITH HIS TIME, LIKE TAKING DOWN REAL CRIMINALS.
AND THAT'S MY TAKE.
