Don't become a criminal and then you don't have to face these charges. I disagree and am glad she is charged with their murder. I be pissed if she wasn't. Don't hang with a group of hoodlums, then you won't have to worry about being charged for their fuck ups. Those teens would not have died if the driver didn't drive them there in the first place.

OK, forget about her specifically for a second and whether or not she "deserved" this; look at this from your own perspective.

Do you really want to spend your tax dollars on this woman's room and board, potentially for the rest of YOUR life? Because three first-degree murder charges, in most jurisdictions, would carry an absolute minimum of 75 years in prison with no possibility of parole and she's young enough that she could feasibly serve the entirety of that sentence.

And for what? For being a driver? Again, you're suggesting that this woman is equally as bad as someone that plans out and executes the murder of an entire family. Of the four people that were involved in this crime, she's the least responsible and least involved of the group. Yes, she deserves prison time, but 75+ years worth? Give me a break. I expect more prudent spending of public money than locking someone up for the rest of their natural life over what was, really, a low-level crime.
