Does anyone have any information on the condition of the passenger in Ashley's car, Lindsay Shaw?

Kyce25, you are a kind and forgiving person. Ashley was luckly to have a friend like you. In theory what you say may be correct. Ashley may have wanted Eldon forgiven, I don't know. And you are correct Eldon did not get up that morning intending to kill someone. He has grown children of his own and I am sure he is tortured everyday by what happened. But facts are facts - he got drunk and drove. When you get behind the wheel of a car in that condition that takes the "accident" element out of it. He chose to drive drunk and that was no accident. You are right, no amount of punishment will bring Ashley back. But if society takes that view and continues to hand down light sentences for crimes like this the situation will not get any better. He is related to me and I am sorry he is going through this. I feel worse for Ashley's family, future husband and friends however.

A death at the hands of a drunk driver is always a senseless tragedy. It is particularly sad when a young person, with their whole life ahead of them, is robbed of the opportunity to pursue their dreams and ambitions. This young lady was engaged and most likely would have, at some point in time, started a family. Her parents will not have the opportunity to know the grandchildren they might have had. Our society should be more outraged about such crimes and should demand legislation to direct the courts to hand down stiffer sentences.

This was a senseless tragedy because someone put their desire to drink and then drive over their safety, their passenger's safety and the safety of everyone who was unfortunate enough to be on the rode that night. To somehow explain it away as part of "God's plan" is to totally obsolve the driver of any responsibility for what happened.
Is this fair to the girl that died, the girl that is still in the hospital or to their families? I think not!!
