Woman causes fatal crash after trying to help ducks

Postby UofLCard » Jun 30th, '14, 04:42

I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

A Canadian woman who parked her car on a highway to help a group of ducklings on the side of the road has been found guilty of causing the deaths of a motorcyclist and his passenger daughter who slammed into her car.

Emma Czornobaj was convicted by a jury on Friday on two counts of criminal negligence causing death, a charge that carries a maximum life sentence, and two counts of dangerous driving causing death, which comes with a maximum of 14 years in jail.

The 25 year-old was charged in the deaths of Andre Roy, 50, and his daughter Jessie, 16.

She wiped away tears when the verdict was delivered to a packed courtroom in Montreal. Quebec Superior Court Justice Eliane Perreault said the 12-member jury voted unanimously.

Czornobaj was released until her pre-sentence hearing on August 8.

Roy’s motorcycle slammed into Czornobaj’s car, which was stopped in the left lane of a provincial highway south of Montreal in 2010.

Czornobaj, a self-professed animal lover, told the court that she did not see the ducklings’ mother anywhere and planned to capture them and take them home.

Defence lawyer Marc Labelle said his client was stunned by the jury’s decision.

“The fact that she was involved in the accident in the first place was a hard experience for her,” he said. “The fact that she had to go through a trial with a lot of publicity was tough and to be confirmed by 12 citizens, the jury, that the conduct was criminal is a hard blow.”

Pauline Volikakis, whose husband and daughter were killed in the collision, briefly fought back tears when she left the courtroom.

“I don’t wish misfortune on anyone,” Volikakis said. “It’s time that we go on. This will not bring [back] my loved ones.”

Prosecutor Annie-Claude Chasse had a message for motorists.

“What we hope is that a clear message is sent to society that we do not stop on the highway for animals. It’s not worth it.”

While what she did may have been careless, giving her a life sentence for a mistake is absurd. There are hardened criminal who've killed intentionally that have given shorter prison time. But then again, I'm not familiar with the Canadian legal system.

At first I felt terrible for her, but this moron killed two human beings (one 16 year old girl) and destroyed a family, for some fucking ducks. That really pisses me off and the more I think about it the less I care about this woman's life.

^I mean yeah its stupid that the two died because of ducks, but the lady was just doing was she thought was a good deed at the moment. She had no idea that the motorcycle would crash into her car, taking the lives of the father and daughter.

I feel extremely horrible for her. First she had to go through the ordeal of feeling guilty for causing the deaths of the two, and on top of that she got life in jail for something that just overall seemed like a bad series of events.

You're acting like you haven't done anything dumb before.

It could happen to any of us, maybe not involving ducks, but we could equally do something moronic that can end up taking someone life in process.

She is pretty dumb but I think that the punishment she received was just plain stupid as well.
