A San Francisco judge sentenced 80-year-old Mary Fong Lau to two years of formal probation after the 2024 crash that killed a family of four at a bus stop. She was also ordered to complete 200 hours of community service and will not be allowed to drive for three years, after which she can apply to have her license reinstated. She will not serve jail time or home detention, according to reporting from the San Francisco Chronicle and details aired in local TV coverage.

Lau pleaded no contest to four felony counts of gross vehicular manslaughter. The judge cited her age, lack of criminal history, and apparent remorse as key factors in the decision, along with the view that incarceration would serve little purpose beyond punishment. The video report also noted that family members were deeply angry with the outcome and said they felt unheard and disrespected by what they saw as a light sentence.

I don't care if she was 80, she was doing 75 in a 25!

No contributing medical issue? She should have spent the remainder of her life in prison.

And what kind of addled sideways thought must have went into "incarceration would serve little purpose beyond punishment".....It's sort of the whole damn point!

Filth, just like the "progressive" system that let her back out on the streets.

At the very least, she should have been sentenced to a damn long time in involuntary commitment in a mental institution.

You people cheer at the deaths of people Trump dislikes, and you think you can get away with some sort of outrage at others?

That, or a medical emergency causing her to lose consciousness, are the only possible excuses for what happened that didn't involve incompetent driving.
