Women stops for ducks convicted of dangerous driving

[Catherine]

All the vehicles had a responsibility to be able to stop given the road conditions. She stopped for ducks, but her car could have stopped for any number of reasons, even mechanical failure. If her engine had failed and her car had stopped, the bike would still have hit her, but how could they charge her. She is not responsible for mechanical failure.
So how can they charge her for stopping for ducks. I think the prosecutor went crazy with charges and the judge seemed to have issues. How can the speed of the bike not be a factor, but he refused to consider it.

In spite of being found guilty the sentence is mild and can be appealed. She still has her licence. Who knows the whole thing could be dropped. A ninety day sentence would be served in a very minimum security facility anyhow. Maybe they will suspend the whole sentence and have her on probation. She will still probably have to do the community service. I doubt they will over turn that. This is better than the 14 years they wanted her to serve.
