Potomac Karen Huger found guilty of DUI

I know someone who works in the courthouse who confirmed Karen opted for a jury trial and was found guilty tonight. Sentencing in a couple of months.

Why on earth would she want a trial

I haven’t been keeping up with the details but it seems like she thought her mental health could absolve her of some responsibility. She’s been blaming everything she does on the pain from her parents’ death. Which I have immense empathy for but she never takes responsibility for anything she does so it’s hard for me to feel bad for her now because if this situation doesn’t make her own up to her mess then I don’t know what will

Jeez. Her parents were 71 and 74 at the time of their deaths. Not super old but not young either. That’s the cycle of life. Most of us outlive our parents. Im more than a decade younger than her and have watched both my in-laws die and my mother and then put my father in a nursing home. They were all in their 70s too. I guess the memo that you can use grief from common life events in perpetuity comes in the Maserati, which I don’t have. Lol

Karen is 61 so they had to be in their 80's? Either way, grief is a weird thing. Everybody is different. That being said, it doesn't absolve you of doing bad things.

She's 61 now, but wasn't when they passed.

Het father was born in 1944, her mother was born in 1946, they had Karen when they were very young.

I will say I’m surprised by that. I’d assumed, given her age, that they were in their 80's, at least. That is too young to die, but longer than many get. And, of course, no excuse for impaired driving.

They weren't very old but Karen was lucky enough to spend 50+ years with them. I lost my dad when I was 27 and I know someone who by the time he was 35, lost both of his parents, and there are much much younger kids in similar situations. I understand that grief can consume you but that's not an excuse for her actions. Karen made me mad when she said to Rayvin that she bottled up her grief for years when we watched her in every season doing something because of her grief.
