Another question...

...raised by this story:

If Valerie Andrews is guilty of what she is accused of -- driving drunk, running from the police and killing four people -- is there any justification for NOT putting her on the fast track to a date with the needle in Huntsville? If she is guilty of that, she is in my opinion little to no better than the murderers and rapists that walk among us. She surely knew of the consequences of her actions and she did what she did anyway, with what strikes me as zero regard for the lives of those around her.  Is there any justification for letting people like that continue to breathe, let alone have a chance of once again walking free one day?
