The consequences of bad choices
Things have been a little slow lately, as far as the type of fodder that generally captures our attention.
What we have seen all too much of in the news recently, though, are tragic stories of people making stupid, devastating choices, such as this one:
Prosecutors have more questions for a 21-year-old Houstonian accused of killing a woman waiting for a bus in a February hit-and-run.
Harris County Assistant District Attorney Warren Diepraam said Monica Aguilar continues to be investigated about the details surrounding the death of Lisa Garcia.
Diepraam said he wants to know if Aguilar was drinking beforehand, if she was racing another car — as some witnesses have said — and where she went afterward.
Diepraam said witnesses reported Aguilar got into another car right after the accident and left the scene.
"It might have been the car she was racing," Diepraam said.
Aguilar was charged with criminally negligent homicide and failure to stop and render assistance, but has not been indicted.
