A judge ruled that the charge of murder will be upheld in the case of the 22 year old woman who used inhalants behind the wheel, resulting in a fatal car crash.
In 2012 the woman went shopping at
Wal-Mart, purchased two cans of computer dusting spray, and huffed them with
her boyfriend. Minutes later she drove away and then again huffed from the
product while at a red light. Shortly after her car crossed the center line and
crashed into a car, killing the male driver.
The judge ruled that the woman’s
behavior after the accident showed “abject failure” of responsibility saying
that while the man was dying on the side of the road, the defendant never tried
to help him. Instead, she called her mother to come pick up electronics from
her car.
Charges against the woman include:
felony counts of murder in the third degree, aggravated assault, homicide while
DUI, aggravated assault while DUI and homicide by vehicle; misdemeanor counts
of DUI, involuntary manslaughter, simple assault, recklessly endangering
another person and illegal use of solvents; and six summary traffic offenses..
