  • @ThinkingWhileStitching
    @ThinkingWhileStitching 3 месяца назад +3

    Despite Chidester’s speech not being slurred after the accident and the claimed issues with seizures, this will all boil down to whether or not the jurors believe the results of the blood test. When this first happened, I googled Chidester and saw she had worked for a company (I believe it was the electric company) that had the matching 401k available for its employees.…don’t know how long she worked there, and (obviously) don’t know if she participated in the 401K or for how long she participated. But…..If she did participate in a matching 401K plan and did it for a long time, then she could have quite a wad of cash to pay experts to come in and question every step of the process, as was done in the OJ Simpson case. She’ll probably also pay for experts to testify on her behalf regarding seizures & analyze her behavior before and after…..and, IMO, it will all come down to whether or not the jurors believe the results of that blood test (and the breath test).

If she had a seizure, would she be able to engage drive again and then reverse out and speed off? I doubt it. I can't see one half of her face sagging as that happens with seizure.They need to show the whole video to prove she WAS read her Miranda rights.Not supposed to drive for 6 months following a seizure anyway.

    She could be Mother Teresa and it wouldn’t matter. She needs to pay the very high price for her actions and unfortunately her price is peanuts but handed the mother of these children the ultimate price. Frankly her behavior in the courtroom was far too emotionless for something so tragic and I find that appalling. It sounds like she was invited to this party so she obviously knew the victims and that makes her behavior that much more egregious. Prayers to all the families affected by this woman’s heinous actions. I cannot begin to comprehend the pain of losing a child, I am so sorry.

      Please watch her closer as she does have several moments of emotions. She's human, as you, and we all make mistakes at all times of our lives. She made a choice and that was her mistake that has now caught up to her. All defense attorneys direct their clients to NOT make any noticeable movements or show emotions. I couldn't do that. I am sure it takes some time to mentally prepare oneself for sitting in court and blanking out the mind as to stay separated and compartmentalize emotions. Some of us are better than others.

    I have to say ,she would not be sitting there...... if those were my babies. I don't know if this is proper, I can't imagine those poor moms and babies!

    I have neuropathy in my left leg with nerve damage, arthritis in both of my knees, right knee is bone on bone, left knee is on its way to bone on bone, a really messed up back.....i walk funny sometimes... But!!!!... Thats no excuse for the crazy driving... She is clearly very very drunk!!!!!... That was not a seizure.... That's intoxication..!!... Her attorney is sticking to the seizure story... Not going to work... She shouldn't have been taking gabapentin and drinking, never mind driving... Depending on how much she takes, gabapentin can make you feel quite drugged up.. add alcohol to that and you have a severe problem!!.... I stopped taking it because of the way it made me feel... I highly doubt a jury will let this slide ... guilty all the way to prison... adding: I'm 58 yrs old, shes not that much older than me...
