It's kind of scary to me that a teenager could be so mean. Likely born evil, imho. Psychopath is what she is.

I know, right? Back when I was a kid (about 200 years ago), the extent of the 'mean kids' were the boys who would either call girls ugly or start fights (fist fights - no weapons) with the boys.

Furthermore, there were never that many of them. To this day I remember only one real mean kid. His name was Leonard. For many years that name was tainted for me, due to the impression left by this kid.

LOL @chickenbutt. You crack me up. I started reading and laughing when I got to the 200 years ago part.

I recall that as well. Boys fought. No more than one on one. No crowds jumping in ~ it was the rules. Men don't duke it out anymore, they run and get a gun. They don't even talk anymore to settle their differences. The good ole days would not have resulted in death, but a beeehiney whoopin, lick your wounds and keep it moving.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

Ha! Well, sometimes it feels like it's been 200 years.

Everything wasn't good in those days, of course, (I grew up in the 60s mostly, born mid 50s) but at least the mean people/kids were somewhat manageable. I'm glad I'm not a kid now. There's just too much going on.

Good. Next issue at hand: will she actually see the inside of a prison or not.

She'll see the inside of a prison and have a blast as socio and psychopaths do!

She was found guilty of involuntary manslaugher. I have to assume that there is case law to support the decision. Also, reading about her today, she is as mentally unstable as was her boyfriend, if not more so.

Involuntary manslaughter usually refers to an unintentional killing that results from recklessness or criminal negligence, or from an unlawful act that is a misdemeanor or low-level felony (such as a DUI). The usual distinction from voluntary manslaughter is that involuntary manslaughter (sometimes called "criminally negligent homicide") is a crime in which the victim's death is unintended.

As an illustration, consider the following scenario. Dan comes home to find his wife in bed with Victor. Distraught, Dan heads to a local bar to drown his sorrows. After having five drinks, Dan jumps into his car and drives down the street at twice the posted speed limit. If Dan had killed Victor in a "heat of passion" at the time he discovered the affair, then he could be charged with voluntary manslaughter. However, if Dan instead accidentally hit and killed a pedestrian while driving recklessly and intoxicated, he could be charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Three elements must be satisfied in order for someone to be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter:

Someone was killed as a result of the defendant's actions.
The act either was inherently dangerous to others or done with reckless disregard for human life.
The defendant knew or should have known his or her conduct was a threat to the lives of others.

Charges of involuntary manslaughter often come in the wake of a deadly car crash caused by a motorist under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. While the motorist never intended to kill anyone, his or her negligence in operating a car while impaired is enough to meet the requirements of the charge.

Activities that are entirely legal can also result in involuntary manslaughter charges when carried out irresponsibly or recklessly. For example, if the operator of a dangerous carnival ride recklessly fails to ensure that all passengers are strapped in and people die as a result, the operator could face penalties for involuntary manslaughter.

As noted above, involuntary manslaughter is the unintentional killing of another human. This differs from first or second degree murder in that the killing is accidental -- resulting from recklessness, criminal negligence or in the commission of a misdemeanor or low-level felony. However, an unintentional killing committed in the commission of an "inherently dangerous" felony, is treated as first degree murder in most states.

Similarly, involuntary manslaughter often is defined as the unlawful killing of a human without malice aforethought, which is just another way of saying "without criminal intent." Acts leading up to this charge, but not falling into the category of murder, range from running a red light and accidentally killing a pedestrian to cases of more serious negligence, such as a building manager's failure to install smoke detectors before the occurrence of a deadly fire.

I can't remember the exact words but she also texted his mother...basically taking responsibility for it. Telling his mother that she hadn't failed her son, it wasn't her fault. If anyone was to blame it was me etc.

The law is just beginning to catch up with social media, texting, all of it. Don't see how the judge could have ruled otherwise.

Whatever issues she had this girl was still directly complicit in his death. The inhumanity of it all is chilling and sickening.
