But - was this an accident? he admitted that he didnt look which is crazy for a public driver, especially when driving downtown. You have to watch for the pedestrians even if that means you sit. I dont think he intended to kill the women, he just made a very costly mistake of not looking carefully.

Metro busdrivers have a very serious job. i couldnt imagine having to drive for a living. you have others lives in your hands.

To date WMATA has done nothing serious to prevent this from happening again, and sure enough it has. An annual safety lecture is a joke; the medical profession has been lecturing daily for decades about cigarette smoking, and if that had been successful no one would be left buying cigarettes in the US. Now the drivers are left with the message that if they kill a pedestrian, they will get off with 6 months. I could accept the terms of the plea agreement (He is only guilty of negligent homicide, while I think WMATA is guilty of murder.), but this is a nasty joke.

And by the way, my surviving sister and I are also suing WMATA. Not that that means much, since they are protected by law from any serious claims and financial damages. We can only sue for Sally's pain and suffering on February 14 and the financial loss to her estate due to her premature death.

I think he is lucky that DC has no death penalty and this one year sentence is like winning the lottery.

That makes me think that 6 months seems to be a pretty good deal to get rid of an evil mother-in-law.

This sentence is a disgrace.

This is a disgrace. The prosecutor and judge should be impeached for incompetence and blatant stupidity.

2 families lost a loved one AND all this lawyer and the court care about is this criminals immigration status?

Shame Shame Shame.
