Colo. Lawmaker Pleads No Contest In Deadly Texas Crash - Denver News Story - KMGH Denver

A prosecutor says the Colorado state senator involved in a crash that killed a pregnant woman in the Texas Panhandle last year has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of driving on the wrong side of the road.
Sen. Suzanne Williams paid a $200 fine and $68 in court costs, according to Hartley County Attorney Shane Turner. The Amarillo Globe-News reported Friday that Texas law allowed for the dismissal of two seat-belt citations against Williams.

Rangel ain't got nothing on her.

There are 2 sets of laws in this country if you haven't noticed.
It's been like that for decades.

Yeah, it's why Snipes went to prison and Rangel was censured. Both commited the crime of tax evasion. I made the same argument about waterboarding. If it's not so bad, can I do it to my wife and kids to make them compliant? Why no, that would be wrong, eh?

It's all a mirage. Mrs. Gomez got no justice.

One has to wonder what evidence is not in the article that a Grand Jury chose not to follow the state police recommendation of charges, and why.

Is it any wonder fewer and fewer Amricans trust their government when they seem to get a pass on everything that would get the average citizen seriously convicted/fined?

Disgraceful. A $264 fine will be taken out of petty cash. Another 'Do as I say, not as I doer'.

Hypocrite.

This woman is sick..........

"Investigators determined that Williams picked up her 3-year-old grandson from the highway and placed him in a child safety seat inside her car before emergency help arrived."

Dead people, her own grandkids tossed from the car and seriously injured, her own son seriously injured and all she could think about doing was setting the scene so she wouldn't be "caught" without seatbelts on the children. Unbelievable.

"e case garnered national attention in part because Williams is a staunch advocate of child-restraint laws in Colorado, but DPS investigators said none of Williams' passengers -- including her two young grandsons -- were buckled up."

Cases like this are why I support vigilante justice. She deserves whatever horrors might be inflicted upon her.

This is a long way from being over.

The civil action will be the hard part.

She probably attended the Ted Kennedy school of driving.

If she had been a republican, it would have been in all the headlines across the country.
