As I noted above, I agree her actions warrant severe sanction.

Drinking and driving/riding is a premeditated act. It’s consequences are easily tangible.

I'd prefer 1st degree, but am willing to accept 2nd degree murder.

As a matter of fact, I think being caught while driving under the influence should be an automatic charge a attempted negligent homicide. If in ANY form of accident it gets bumped to attempted 2nd degree murder.

Zero tolerance.

I hope the charges were "Stacked" to the maximum. And the District Attorney for that area of N.C. presses for "consecutive" sentences rather than concurrent. AT least this way she will be locked up for a very long time even though someone posted earlier the max sentence was 74 months there in N.C. Consecutive sentences can keep you behind bars for many years. That's why "thugs always plead guilty for concurrent time instead. She's a "thug" too except she used a vehicle as a deadly weapon IMO rot in jail B*t*h...

Further update, they have changed the main charge to 2nd degree murder. Also a bunch of other charges. She was in court again this afternoon.

Yeah, but she won't be behind you anymore. In addition to second degree murder charge earlier today, they also charged her with Felony Death by motor vehicle. An example maybe? I hope so.
