My heart goes out to the Espinoza family. I can't help but feel that the Lt.Gov . whether she was drunk or not, could have practiced what she used to preach; good action, positive behavior. I'm truly sorry for her and her family too. And it's also frightening to know she could have mowed down a tribal member and she would not have been charged with a crime.

A grand jury reportedly handed down the indictment Wednesday morning. Diaz faces one felony count of leaving the scene of an accident and could serve a maximum of three years in prison if she is found guilty. She could also be liable for restitution payments.
Three years in prison? That's it are kidding me?
