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.

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.

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.

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.

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