Goddam criminal coddling. This is worse than child-molesting, but
these monsters get off with fines.

Driver sentenced for Jefferson Avenue crash

Kelly Nankervis, Midland Daily News 08/15/2006

Kathleen May Fournier, 80, Midland, was charged in June with
failing to stop for a school crossing guard after the March 8 accident
at the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Chapel Lane.

Midland County Circuit Judge Robert L. Donoghue sentenced Fournier
to $500 fines and costs, two years probation during which she is to
complete 10 hours of community service work each week, and 45 days of
house arrest instead of jail during which she is to have no visitors
with the exception of grocery delivery or trash removal. She is not to
own or drive any motor vehicles, and Donoghue also provided for
restitution but did not set an amount.

Those two girls, Nicole Ryan Schram and Eva Jean Tulchinsky, both
13 at the time of the crash, suffered serious injuries. Schram was
hospitalized at the University of Michigan hospital for critical
injuries, while Tulchinsky was treated at MidMichigan Medical Center.
They were walking across Jefferson with a crossing guard, who was
wearing a bright traffic coat and carrying a handheld stop sign at the
time.

According to a Midland Police report, Fournier was not speeding,
her car was in good working condition, and she was not violating any
driver license or medical restrictions.
