The plea deal she turned down involved six hours of community service and a one-year driver's license suspension.
Should have taken the deal |

she feared for her 29-year-old daughter's life, who was in the car at the time of the incident but not charged.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The plea deal she turned down involved six hours of community service and a one-year driver's license suspension. Should have taken the deal TBH, you're probably right. On principle, it's bullshit. But if that's down to a misdemeanor such that won't impact your life with just that on your record, it would be cheaper and easier to have just taken the minor plea - life is full of unfair bullshit decisions you have to make - sometimes you take the hit and move on. Even if she wins, she will spend a lot of money between here in there. Great to see the NYC DA's got all the important shit worked out, and have time to chase this one. Then again, that could be her strategy - as a DA worth a shit, will likely just drop it. She's in NYC, so odds aren't good the DA is worth a shit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The plea deal she turned down involved six hours of community service and a one-year driver's license suspension. Should have taken the deal Was it a plea to a misdemeanor then? A felony conviction would be a tough pill to swallow for most people no matter what the sentencing recommendation would have been. If it was a plea to a misdemeanor and a low grade one at that it would have been tempted given the light sentence and the fact that if she goes to a jury trial she's in front of a NYC jury. NYC juries have got to be the lost leftist people outside of San Francisco, so she's taking a big risk with a jury trial. I would think if there is an subjective wiggle room to find her guilty that the NYC jury certainly will do so given this is a BLM thing. |

Now the DA HAS to go full force against her. Can't have people thinking they can righteously defend themselves against illegal protesting mob.
How many of the illegal protesters have been charged with assaulting her, kidnapping, destruction of her property? They act like she was the only one breaking any laws that day. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why take a plea deal if you’re not guilty? Because the world is not a fair place, and the good guys don't always win. She has 3 kids to take care of, that's now at risk. She also has to feed those 3 kids, which will now be under strain due to the legal fee's of a plea to basically a speeding ticket. Don't get me wrong, Fuck the DA; who should be pressing charges against the protestors (criminal rioters). Frankly she should start a GoTwitterFundMe site and make bank fighting them. But not everybody has the cards to really do that. Most folks would be better off to just take the misdemeanor(? it better be) plea, take Uber, and drive illegally with care when you have to. If she does fight, then she should be a 15-minutes celebratory and capitalize on the name-recognition somehow, with a book deal and talking circuit. |

I've told people in my family (mom, sisters, nieces, nephews) the same thing. I don't care who or what is in front of you. If they're trying to stop you or trying to get the doors on your car open, you mash the accelerator as hard as you can and don't stop until you don't see them anymore. Quoted: Self defense.

Quote HistoryQuoted: While I think she was right, I don’t think I would gamble with a plea deal like that. Like Dominick Black, charged with a crime that any simple reading of the statute shows he did not commit, taking a non-criminal plea and paying a $1200 fine to get out from under a proudly criminal prosecution in Kenosha County. He couldn't even pay his attorney to prep for trial for $1200, but he'd already paid for a motion to dismiss which should have been granted on its merits without a trial. Binger said out loud to the judge that he'd appeal dismissal all the way (to Black's bankruptcy), while pretty much admitting that dismissal was the just decision. |

If the plea deal was a suspended DL, 6 weeks community service, and then a minor misdemeanor then she should have taken it. If the plea was any kind of felony… fuck it, no way.
I think the plea deal was so sweet because they know she will probably beat any charge. I’ll bet there’s at a minimum a cellphone camera recording from either inside or outside of the car. And if there is it’s practically guaranteed to prove beyond any doubt: A) occupants received threats and insults B) angry mob was pounding on the car C) mob trying to unlawfully enter the car D) occupants were legitimately frightened Motive & opportunity presented a credible threat and then they overtly acting on the verbal threats. They were probably statutorily allowed to retaliate with deadly force instead of just forcefully retreating. I’d be surprised if a Judge doesn’t dismiss the case before conclusion. |
