Long arm of the law got her..now she’ll have plenty of time to think about it.

Florida Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force,,,, hmm, apparently created in 2008, has rounded up almost 67,000 fugitives,,,67,001. I always wonder how these people that commit crimes and run, why they get caught. Not that I would ever do that, but I know of places, NOBODY will find you. You can believe the shmaltz of the pregnant passenger loss, sounds like news "laundry" to me, and I just don't know. This person didn't intentionally want to kill anyone, must have been a tough case, I think she would have done better had she not ran, but too late now. Shows how life can change in an instant. Might want to remember that driving a truck.

 

"The indictment alleged Johnson was "driving recklessly, in a snowstorm, without chains (and) without the necessary experience" at the time of the crash."

Not defending her as there are not enough details but this sounds like bs. Define driving recklessly? They don't give her estimated speed. Were chains required at that time? And the worst, without the necessary experience. What requirement is there for experience and driving in the snow?
She made things a lot worse by not getting a good attorney and attending the conference.

 

Made it even worse by running

 

If you flee the scene of the accident, or skip the trial, you lose the right to argue about fairness later. Make good decisions

 

A poor person from Florida should never be sent out to Oregon in the dead of winter.

 

A six month old baby is a human capable of living outside the mother.

 

Probably carrying a Jeld Wen load out of Klamath Falls or Chiloquin. There isn't much else down there except logging.

I've been on that road many many times and sometimes it does get very icy. I don't ever remember seeing a "Chains Required" sign anywhere though. It's a nearly flat run. There are no hill climbs between Klamath Falls and La Pine so there is no need for chains. I have seen trucks in the ditch on that road. You do have to mind your speed, just like on any other icy road.

 

She'll get a maximum sentence and do real time. Meanwhile foreigners can come into the country and get a CDL out of a cracker jack box, kill people, and walk away scott free.

The Catastrophic State of Trucking and Highway Safety

 

There are chain up areas north of Chiloquin. There’s no big hills but you’re already over 4k feet in the valley. I haven’t been out that way forever. Could be like Drinking Water and Stinking Water and just have signs that say chains advised if road is snow covered.
