The individual that killed Lorraine is being charged with a class B DUI which is a Misdemeanor. I am at a loss for words  

The fact remains that My Mom was in a crosswalk and pedestrians have the right away!! My Mom had a bad leg and that light changes very quickly she didn't make it across fast enough. The fact also remains had the driver who struck my Mom not been a .27 BAC and driving on suspension he might have saw her in the crosswalk in her " dark clothing" and been able to stop!!! The man who killed her was drove home that night by officers and had the audacity to show up to court wasted he was then later charged with a Class B Misdemeanor DUI,!!! Unbelievable!! Justice??? Anyone ???? Does it exist anymore ???
