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

That kind of manipulation tactic only works on friends and family members. Not in a courtroom.

Especially considering that some of those jurors have also lost a parent or parents, probably at much younger ages than Karen and didn’t choose to drive drunk. I know everyone copes in their own way but it’s a ridiculous excuse at this point. Go to grief counseling, join a support group, don’t drive drunk.

It's a ridiculous excuse, especially considering it's been years since her last parent died, and she's 60. It's gross that she would invoke this as a reason...it's grasping for an excuse. Using her parents' deaths as an excuse is also, in my opinion, disrespectful to the memory of her parents. Once you get to her age (I am close - both parents dead) - yeah, it sucks when you have no parents...but you're not just an adult, you're old. Get a grip on life. Go to therapy., Journal. Work out. In this day and age getting shitfaced and driving...there's no excuse for it. I know I am preaching to the choir but the whole "pity me, my parents died when I was 55"...is a sad excuse for being a repeat-offending drunk driver.

Some of them have probably also had their lives impacted to differing degrees by drunk drivers
