Just so it’s well known, I’m not so aggrevated wih people’s opinions because everyone has there own. It’s the lack of knowledge as far as the accident, the case, the law & YOUR own state’s legislative rules like the one that says “anyone 16 or older who commits a felony(hence-2 vehicle homicides) is to be charged as an adult”! I am upset that the law wasn’t upheld as a true example to anyone who commits any wrong doing. I have a relative who is in prison for breaking the law and as with Alexandria, if he didn’t break the law, he wouldn’t be there. As his family lets him know often, we feel bad he’s there, but hope he learns the law is in place for a reason and we support him by writing him, telephone calls & visits. He is in a n.c. prison for not so violent crimes. He got like 8 yrs. As far as what I wish, I wish this pain would go away, i could help my living nephew move on, my sister wasn’t suffering as she is, & that one day YOUR state law is upheld & our justice is served finally!

Sunkist, there has been plenty of discussion about the cavalier/sunfire ability to travel at over 100 MPH, governors, etc. I have seen where she wrecked. It’s a well banked curve although the speed limit is fairly low in that rural area. If she had been speeding even 20 miles over, she could have made that curve easily. SHE WAS RACING! The lack of brain connected to her foot and her desire to overtake her BF set it in motion and KEPT it speeding to a rollover.  I think you should be consulted by Ms. Martin’s lawyer and let you testify about the vehicle’s ability to speed. However, 90MPH is a felony as is 105. So, like Devon’s concerned aunt has said, it doesnt matter. Apparently, Law Enforcement and forensic crash reconstruction was wrong?

Her family wasn’t sorry enough to offer to help take care of the mess their daughter caused. Instead Devon’s mother had to worry about giving her son a funeral.

sunkist436 says..I just don’t believe i that doing that to a young lady is fair.

Was it fair for her to kill the other two? She knew the law before she drove recklessly and did it anyway and she knows the consequences if she breaks probation so if she breaks probation and gets put away for life then it’s her own fault and she deserves anything she gets.

sunkist436 , you mean like mess up after she got her first speeding ticket for going how fast? to bad they did not send her away for that one because the SECOND time cost people their lives. 6 years of time for her would have been a drop in the bucket. compared to a life time of misery she has caused.

I honestly don’t care if you get aggravated at me or the other comments. And Im only defending her side of the story because where I’m from, yes the justice system does use under aged people as examples, but I agree with them when they don’t throw 16 year old children into adult prisons for 6 years as examples. Which I’m pretty much betting that your wishing for her to mess up while on probation and go to prison for life, aren’t you? I just don’t believe i that doing that to a young lady is fair. All of these comments are my personal opinions, and my beliefs.

Oh sunkist436-I don’t know how old you are or when you owned this car, or what yeaR IT was, but I do know what my nephew and Alexandria’s LIVE passengers say she was doing because they were screaming and hollering to get her to slow down! But either way on a road where the police report says the speed limit is 45mph, what difference does it make if it was 90mph or 105mph as she was speeding way beyond the limit? it doesn’t! The irresponsibility of her actions and lack of compassion FOR HER PASSENGER’S PLEAS is what matters. So, you can say that she wasn’t considerate then but in court she showed sincerity?! NOT! As far as your term friends-well the best of friends they could establish in like 2 weeks, that’s all the time she knew my nephew, but may have known the other victim longer because she was from there. The more people defend her, her car and her actions,
the more i get aggrevated. Especially when people don’t have facts before they comment!

She was in a Chevy Cavalier…I had one when I was younger and they cant go over 90mph. Or at least the one I had didn’t. There was a part in it that kept it from going over a certain speed…I do believe it’s called a governor or something along those lines. And vehicles all have one.
Sirk: When was I referring to her apology, I didn’t mean that are not any fake people out there. Believe me, I completely understand that. But to falsely apology for an incident where 2 people have passed, it’s just impossible to imagine someone lying about that!
And I read a comment somewhere on one of these articles saying that she wasn’t affected by this!! That is just down right ridiculous, how could you (whoever wrote it) possibly think that she was NOT effected?! An accident where 2 of your friends died under you responsibility wouldn’t affect you?!

sirk and southfan1981- Thank you both very much, at least you get the message and we feel like we are not the only people who feel this wasn’t a complete “accident”. In my eyes, you don’t accidentally speed over a 100 mph or accidentally race with your boyfriend. because of those careless decisions, I will never call it an accident!!

SUNKIST436- My nephew was there and you were not. Read the articles, she did go to the hospital for minor bumps and bruises. When a passenger in her boyfriend’s car turned around and looked out the back window to see how close Alexandria was to carching up to them and seen the car flipping, her boyfriend turned his car around and went to the scene. When my surviving nephew crawled out of the car she was already out sitting in her boyfriend’s car whinning about what she was going to do and what she was going to tell her parents!!  Please know the facts before you put done the memories my nephew relives all the time.

It’s easier to forgive when it’s not your family member.

Sunkist says “I dont think anyone is cold hearted enough to falsely apologize! Its just not human.”

If you don’t think there are a lot of false apologizers in this world then you are living in a world of your own.  I have to admit that I apologized for something once which was insignificant, but I didn’t really mean it. I just did it because I felt I had too. 

She was probably coerced by her lawyer to apologize so it would make her look good in the judge’s eyes. She was not repentant of the first speeding ticket and didn’t learn anything from it so why should she have learned from this one.

Sunkist, I think the people commenting have an issue with the punishment not fitting the crime. It is a felony to speed at over 100 MPH. Criminal. The perpetrator had done it at least once, been caught. If she was punished, it did not have an impact on her behavior. The second time, with others in the car begging her to stop, two families lost their hope for a future. Expressing apologies and losing a license until old enough to drink does not seem comparable to sentences handed down to other criminals who may be sorry they slid into a family of six. We just saw the sentencing of a young man who killed a few bicyclists. He lost more than his license.

Otherwise, I can not believe you would question the anguish of a young boy who stood by while his brother was dying on his watch. Tut-tut.
