Now you all know I'm not one to sensationalize anything but this incident hits close to home. Local coverage went on until the wee hours after it happened.

And then there's Sheriff Lombardo's discomfort with disclosing what the suspect said to authorities after her her arrest.

While I sympathize with her plight, there can be no justification for her actions. I pray for the victims and their families, including her three year old daughter, who was in the back seat of her car at the time. May justice be swift.

I heard about this. I just got back from Vegas, glad I wasn't there to witness this mess.

However, I did manage to gain 6 pounds from alcohol and buffets. Meh.

She had a competency hearing a couple days ago and was sent to the loony bin for a while. I have a creeping suspicion about this one....

Jail for life or death penalty seem to be the solutions for her

I remember this. That bitch said at the time that she was "just tired", or something like that, but she had to be stone cold to do that deliberately.

She probably will go the 'mental' route and get away with it.

UPDATE ON FEB. 10, 2017: Lakeisha Holloway has been found competent by the courts to stand trial for the incident that resulted in the death of one woman and injuries to many others. The court made the ruling on Feb. 10. The case is now being transferred back to the original court.

The trial is set for February 2018. Whatever happened to the right to a speedy trial? Justice delayed is justice denied.

It's taken two years but they've finally started putting up 800 Bollards between Tropicana and Spring Mountain Road. But no other news regarding this case.
