JUSTICE FAILED VICTIM ….. TAY’LOR SMITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN JAILED

Tay'lor Smith, 19, has pleaded guilty to pushing her friend from a bridge at a popular swimming area near Vancouver last year.

She appeared Monday in Clark County District Court after accepting a plea deal last month charged with misdemeanor reckless endangerment for an incident where Jordan Holgerson, 16, was pushed on August 7, 2018.

She previously faced up to a year in prison and a $5,000 fine for the incident at Moulton Falls in Washington state that went viral when a video was posted on YouTube.

Now prosecutors are recommending no jail time when Smith is sentenced March 27. Instead Smith could get off relatively lightly with community service and electronic monitoring that would leave her confined to her home.

I'll bet this piece of shit will be in the news again for killing someone.

Fools in positions of power like this judge is why, for some some crimes, in some states, we have minimum sentencing. Which often doesn't work out so well either.

What NEEDS to happen is that we get responsible judges.

Because when enough members of society correctly believe they can't get justice from the courts, they will take matters into their own hands. I know I would.

AT what point dose stupid become criminal? I think when you push somebody off a 60 foot high bridge, you have passed that threshold.
