Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Jersey City's own Khadijah Hamilton has been charged with about the most awful crime you can be, driving under the influence, crashing her car so badly a backseat passenger would die but walked away from the scene anyway. For this insensitive stupidity, Ms. Hamilton is facing charges in the crash resulting in death, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and causing a death while driving unlicensed. No doubt she walked away from the scene because she was "allegedly" drunk and or high and you needn't look hard for for evidence of that:

A bloody bottle of Hennessy cognac and more than 40 smoked marijuana "blunts" were found in the car of the woman charged with fleeing the scene of a crash that claimed her friend's (Khalla Nguyen) life Saturday.

"She basically treated her car like a bar," Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Lynne Seborowski said at today's detention hearing for Khadijah Hamilton, 27, of Jersey City.

"This defendant was driving around for at least three hours on the streets of Jersey City -- drinking, smoking -- putting multiple people's lives at risk," the prosecutor, said adding that Hamilton and two other occupants of the car shouted for someone to dial 911 but walked away when an ambulance arrived.

Would you dear reader like to hear her first on the record comment on the situation when she called into County Prosecutor's Homicide Unit the next day? 


What class. Luckily for us though Jersey City she's out on bail because her Public Safety Assessment number came back low and in the new court system a low PSA number gets you bail because you probably won't reoffend. We wonder if the number system being used can factor driving drunk and then casually walking away from someone dying in the back seat then placing a flippant call to police and as kind of person unlikely to break the law while on bond. 

So basically this system would have given her the same score ten minutes before and ten minutes after the fatal wreck. That's some system.
