Three lanes wide and she couldn't swerve around him. Jail is the only answer for her, she's responsible for his death at that speed on that road, and hitting him from behind.

Horrible event, stupid girl that broke a family.
But the news article was horribly written with missing words, and then the sensationalism about the Corvette being a “supercar” and could cost up to $140,000. What relevance is that to the fucking story ? Then they say she was doing 155 miles an hour before slamming on the brakes and hit them at 87 mph according to the airbags computer. Holy shit…. The brits media is worse than ours! |

The size of the house is immaterial. A 3 million dollar shed in LA might have a modest appearance. Still means that someone has an un-modest income to pay for it. |

Did his car rat him out by recording that he was doing 155 a few seconds before hitting him at (really) 87 mph? Your point is right though about, if you're going to kill someone and mostly get away with it, doing it with a car is the way. |

As would be appropriate for a legit accident. Not sure going 155 mph is the same thing though, sounds like reckless driving and driving reckless resulting in death should be manslaughter. |

The brits media is worse than ours! Berg was arrested Monday after the airbag computer system on her 2024 Corvette - which cost between $70,000 and $140,000 - found she had been driving at 155mph seconds slamming the brakes and careening into Clark. Here’s the only pertinent bit. And it’s pretty important to know: You don’t have plausible deniability in a modern car. She got down to normal speed and barely tapped that motorcycle. If she had been driving an ‘87 Corvette, her legal situation would be different. Not defending her. Just saying, it’s important to remember, the car will Always rat you out. |

She tried to perform CPR and braked when she realized her mistake. While she cerfainly earned some punishment, this is not in the same category as an unrepentent felon running from police or driving without a license. IMO this isn't a throw the book situation... more like pick a reasonable sentence.
