On August 10, 2024, in Miami, a woman named Macy Lathers caused a deadly crash while high on pink cocaine. She drove a white Mercedes through a red light, creating a three-car pileup that killed Abraham Molina and Jesus Rubio. Abraham’s wife, Juanita, survived but was injured. Do you think Maecee deserves to go to prison? I don’t know if she deserves prison time for one mistake.

    Let’s see,

    • license already suspended
    • accelerated to speed through a red light at 78 mph
    • attempted to flee the scene
    • driving after using some unknown mixture of hard drugs
    • killed two people

    I don’t know what people deserve, but that would garner prison time in most places. Of course, prison isn’t effective at rehabilitating people, only deterring crime to some extent and punishing people.

    I’d say a sentence of at least a couple years, a requirement of drug treatment, 5-10 year license suspension, and probation with a longer suspended sentence if she’s caught driving.
