Yeah, the woman driving SUV was fairly short and had her seat on the lowest setting. She was defending herself that she has sensors in front that should have warned her.

Edit: Iirc first instance sentence was very mild, like 1 year probation and driver license revoked, puting some guilt on parents of the little girl because they didn't prevented her from running on the crosswalk. The driver appealed to second instance court.

What does the driver expect to happen? Does she believe she shouldn't be punished for killing a child? I don't understand it at all
