Look I’m all for rehabilitation, but she’s 19 currently, which places her at 16-17 for the murder, without doing more research. By all means, she should receive psychiatric care and rehabilitation should be attempted, but we shouldn’t have our hopes up. And while that’s going on, she must be kept imprisoned – mercy should not come at the expense of the innocence. Someone who makes a threat and then consciously speeds up to kill someone with a car is dangerous to society.
Something else I’ve come to learn is that unfortunately, punishment is necessary. Someone who’s prone to angry outbursts of racism and hate needs to understand that it’s absolutely unacceptable and they need to change. If you keep giving them a slap on the wrist each time, they won’t take it seriously, as compassionate as you are and as much as you try to convince them to change their ways.
I went through some pretty turbulent relationship shit when I was that young. One time my girlfriend was so mad at me she opened the car door while we were traveling at freeway speed. She didn’t jump, but still… I feel like I brushed up against this level of crazy even in just the course of my rather average teenage years.

You’re correct. She was 17 when this occurred
