Throw the book at her
————— https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13244347/arizona-girl-arrested-park-ranger-harley-chevrolet-corvette.html She reportedly told troopers at the scene that she tried to avoid the motorcycle but couldn't slow down in time. It is unclear who bought Berg the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette supercar. Her family lives in a modest four bed, two bath, $616,000 home in Tempe. |

From the article:

I think the author is giving corvettes a bit too much credit here.

Around here, 600K will get you a modest 1 bedroom condo, if that helps. |

Sad story.
Most surprising thing is that anyone under 60 is driving a vette. |

Three lanes wide and she couldn't swerve around him. Jail is the only answer for her, she's responsible for his death at that speed on that road, and hitting him from behind.

Meh…the guy that killed Treat Williams , while Treat was riding his motorcycle , got away with it , no charges filed .

Horrible event, stupid girl that broke a family.
But the news article was horribly written with missing words, and then the sensationalism about the Corvette being a “supercar” and could cost up to $140,000. What relevance is that to the fucking story ? Then they say she was doing 155 miles an hour before slamming on the brakes and hit them at 87 mph according to the airbags computer. Holy shit…. The brits media is worse than ours! |

View Quote I think he is pointing out that 600K is not a modest PRICE. The size of the house is immaterial. A 3 million dollar shed in LA might have a modest appearance. Still means that someone has an un-modest income to pay for it. |

She’ll get sentenced to the min and be out in less than half that time.

It's retarded that the home her parents own is even mentioned. Fuck this adult and her future, hoping she leads a miserable fucking life and this haunts her like aids. |

View Quote Did his car rat him out by recording that he was doing 155 a few seconds before hitting him at (really) 87 mph? Your point is right though about, if you're going to kill someone and mostly get away with it, doing it with a car is the way. |

Not sure going 155 mph is the same thing though, sounds like reckless driving and driving reckless resulting in death should be manslaughter. |

I'm just waiting for folks to come out and say there is no need for vehicles to go over 75 MPH. It is for the children. It will probably be the same folks who want ten round magazine restrictions.

I'm sure the dead guy's family doesn't give a shit what type of car it was or how much her parent's house is worth.

The brits media is worse than ours! View Quote Berg was arrested Monday after the airbag computer system on her 2024 Corvette - which cost between $70,000 and $140,000 - found she had been driving at 155mph seconds slamming the brakes and careening into Clark. Here’s the only pertinent bit. And it’s pretty important to know: You don’t have plausible deniability in a modern car. She got down to normal speed and barely tapped that motorcycle. If she had been driving an ‘87 Corvette, her legal situation would be different. Not defending her. Just saying, it’s important to remember, the car will Always rat you out. |

She tried to perform CPR and braked when she realized her mistake. While she cerfainly earned some punishment, this is not in the same category as an unrepentent felon running from police or driving without a license. IMO this isn't a throw the book situation... more like pick a reasonable sentence.
