    “It’s clear that Ronnie (McNorgan’s nickname) doesn’t see herself as a criminal,” Millar said after the sentencing. “I think the punishment to someone who is non-criminal, a conviction in itself carries a huge weight.”

    What’s also clear is that McNorgan still refuses to believe the crash was her fault and caused by her confusing the gas pedal with the brake pedal. She continues to maintain, despite the overwhelming evidence presented at the trial last spring, that what caused the crash was mechanical failure.

    Yeah she shouldn’t drive again, if she’s not even capable of admitting her mistake and still thinks she should be allowed to drive…

    I mean even if it was a mechanical failure what kind of person would like to ever drive again after killing a child?

      I agree, but the article says that they couldn’t find any evidence of mechanical failure, none, zero, so thankfully we don’t even have to consider that scenario because it doesn’t apply to her.

      If her car was not wrecked completely, a mechanical failure should be detectable?
