Strongsville woman accused of killing boyfriend, friend in crash in which she drove 100 mph into brick building, prosecutor says - cleveland.com

 

Youth, immaturity, and (possibly) mental illness.....never a very good combination.

I can see, though, why the defense may have waived the jury-trial and placed it in the hands of a judge...a jury would probably be overcome with emotion, and judges are often more objective.

 

Nobody drives themselves into a building at 100MPH unless they are somehow mentally ill

 

Can't really argue with that....definitely not thinking clearly.

An interesting question is how she survived the crash when it killed two others in the car....the article doesn't say. Yes, the Camry is a well-built car, particularly the excellent 3rd-Generation version, but it certainly doesn't have the structural integrity or advanced safety features of, say, your S-Class. And the average 18 or 19-year-old, of course, is not going to own a six-figure S-class.

 

Why does my S Class come into conversations at the strangest times

 

Bench trial is a huge gamble, but yeah.

 

Not linking it to the case....just using it as an example of the state of the art automotive safety-engineering. You could take that as a compliment.

 

I'm assuming she was the only one with a seat belt on, but the article didn't specify

 

Yeah, that takes us back to Paris in 1997, when Princess Diana and her Egyptian boyfriend were killed in that underpass-wreck when the Paparazzi was chasing them. Her bodyguard was the only one to survive (they were in a Mercedes S-Class)...and was the only one belted up.

And that brought up an interesting question that has apparantly never been resolved....why, as Diana's official bodyguard, and the one most directly responsible for her safety, did he not make sure she was belted? Of course, she could (?) have said no to a seat belt, and, with her being royalty, he would not have been in a position to argue with her.

 

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

 

This should be a warning to everyone who has a crazy spouse or significant other.

Get out NOW! Lol

They are deadly and can have no feeling about taking your life, money, reputation and leave you dead or with nothing.

Happens every day unfortunately.

 

Was it supposed to be a murder/suicide type thing? Strange way to try and take someone out/go out IMO

 

My guess is thats what her thought was

 

That's one reason (among many, which is too long a story to mention here) of why I have stayed single my whole life.

 

Out of fear that she might murder you!?
