So she’s suing the boy she killed and that boy’s family and the other boys she ran over. Toronto Sun:
Brandon was struck from behind by an SUV and killed while his friend Richard McLean, 16, was seriously injured with a broken pelvis and other bones. His other pal Jake Roberts, 16, was knocked off his bike but sustained only scratches. Now the driver of the SUV, Sharlene Simon, 42, a mother of three, formerly from Innisfil, is suing the dead boy for the emotional trauma she says she has suffered. She’s also suing the two other boys, as well as the dead boy’s parents, and even his brother, who has since died. She’s also suing the County of Simcoe for failing to maintain the road….
In a statement of claim filed with the court, Simon is claiming $1.35 million in damages due to her psychological suffering, including depression, anxiety, irritability and post-traumatic stress. She blames the boys for negligence. “They did not apply their brakes properly,” the claim states. “They were incompetent bicyclists.”
She runs over three boys on bikes and they’re the dangerous incompetents who didn’t “apply their brakes properly.”
Wow, that’s just … sociopathically opportunistic of her. I personally think the world wouldn’t be worse off without her.
The full story is – it’s a small town. The boys’ parents have been spreading rumors that she was drunk at the time of the accident and there was a police cover-up of the evidence, for some reason.
The boys’ parents just filed a massive lawsuit against her, alleging both of those things. So she responded with this lawsuit, in retaliation.
I hope she doesn’t really think the things in the lawsuit, but if they’re going to keep trying to ruin her life because their kids were riding at night in dark colors and in the middle of the lane, I’m not surprised she’s striking back legally.
Ruin her life? She’s still alive.
@bd – Did she do anything wrong?
You mean, besides manslaughter?
@Reymont: Fuck you. You have no empathy and are not worthy of being a person.
Hey, the court system found her innocent, that it wasn’t her fault. You’re all so upset that something bad happened that you want to blame *somebody,* regardless of whether there’s any proof it was their fault.
Go fuck yourself Graham – it might make you feel better to punish an innocent person, but that’s because you lack empathy and don’t deserve to be a person.
Wow @Graham, confuse the definition of empathy often?
How did they get ran over by an SUV if they were riding a breast?
