after two hours of deliberation the jury came back with a sentance of 30 years for covicted clueless murder sarah foust...once more she was surprised by the fact that her request for probation was passed on by the jury in favor of the prosecution's request for jail time...she, of course burst into tears at the unfairness of it all, and confused as to why they placed more weight on what she said on tape immediately after the incident, than her self serving courtroom utterings.
if i seem to be hard on her, i am....she deserves it in my eyes...her utter lack of willingness to accept responsibility for what she did bothers me a lot...i hope she learns better, for her own sake and ours...i wonder if fate will provide an ironic, or perhaps comic twist and have her sharing a cell with mallard...wouldn't that be funny, or sad, or both...that would certainly afford the possibility for some enlightening conversations...they could always trade notes on how not to commit vehicular murder and get away with it...i would imagine that they will be sharing some sort of mandated group counseling(AA , NA or the like), which could provide an opportunity to wager which of them has less of a clue...maybe if nothing else both will truly learn that denial is not a river in africa....assuming either even knew where the nile was to begin with
