She was drunk, and by saying she only drank two glasses only made her in the eyes of everyone that much worse. <br /><br />And finally, yes indeed did Karen make bad choices.

Two doctors who should be enjoying their marriage vows and helping others, a mother at home with two kids, a family legacy once well respected in Jackson, all destroyed.<br /><br />I'm truly sad for all these people...but mostly Karen. Stuart will continue to live his privileged albeit tarnished life. The two doctors are well...gone. And Karen stands alone in the end, leaving her children and unlike the opinion of Anonymous 2:17...I believe more regretful and painfully sorry than any of us will ever be able to imagine.

Even if it was only 70, that's still incredibly fast for that street, and especially at that curve. (Even someone who is cold sober would have a hard time navigating that curve at that speed.) However much Karen had to drink (whether two glasses of wine or more), the question is, why was she driving so outrageously fast? Not everyone who has been drinking will drive in excess of the speed limit. Some people who've been drinking will actually drive slower than the speed limit to try to compensate for the effect of the alcohol on their reaction times. Also, it seems to me that Karen's mentioning (at the hearing on Friday) that she'd had "two glasses of wine" was specifically designed to try to minimize the seriousness of what she did. (If she truly had only two glasses of wine to drink that night, I'd like to know what size glasses they were.) Also, that just makes me wonder even more why she was driving so fast.<br /><br />I'm not at all convinced that either Stuart or Karen have become truly sorry before God for any of the many seriously selfish and wrong things they have done. Stuart didn't even show up at the hearing on Friday, which I think may show the kind of person he really is. Also, at the hearing, Karen seemed to say only the bare minimum she had to say to satisfy the judge. (What does all this say about what kind of parents Stuart and Karen have been to their children?) I hope both Stuart and Karen will become truly sorry for their wrongdoings, but, frankly, I haven't seen any convincing evidence of that so far.<br /><br />It seems to me that Karen and Stuart are covering for one another, and that they now have a lot of other people covering for them as well, either directly or indirectly. I don't doubt that there may be various kinds of favors being promised and given, including things like money and material goods. But I also suspect that, with many of the people involved, it's also a case of, "I'll keep your secrets if you'll keep mine." If that's true, that would mean there have probably been various kinds of threats--some verbalized, other insinuated--that have been going on. Obviously, threats of exposing secrets can be extremely powerful, but I can't help but wonder if there could be other kinds of threats going on as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-59812925265989741782010-03-28T11:44:29.723-05:002010-03-28T11:44:29.723-05:00Probably.
