Chicago DUI attorney provides an update on the nail painting case

This Chicago DUI attorney has posted here, here, and here about distracted driving. 

Now comes the sentence of the woman who was painting her nails and accidently killed a motorcyclist.

From Chicagobreakingnews.com:

Lora Hunt, the woman found guilty of reckless homicide for crashing into a motorcyclist while painting her nails will spend her nights in jail for 18 months but will be allowed to leave during the day for work, counseling and community service.

 A jury found Hunt, of Morris, guilty on May 6 of causing Zaffke's death when Hunt's car rear-ended struck from behind as she sat on her motorcycle at a red light near Lake Zurich on May 2, 2009.

During today's sentencing hearing, which lasted more than three hours, several people also spoke on behalf of Hunt, who at times sobbed.

Judge Fred Foreman's sentence includes 18 months of night imprisonment in Lake County, 240 hours of community service and 30 months of probation. Hunt was ordered to begin her sentence immediately.

It’s time we stopped treating driving like we do blinking.  Many have driven from Point A to Point B on auto pilot before. No one wants to end up like Ms. Zaffke or live the rest of your life with the remorse of Ms. Hunt.
