Raquel Nelson lost her child to an impaired driver who hit them both as
they were crossing a highway. Then she almost lost her freedom when she
was found guilty of second-degree vehicular homicide, reckless conduct and
failure to use a crosswalk. She faced three years in prison.
Nelson was given two choices by a judge: community service and probation
or a new trial. Shes going with the latter.
This is for everyone, Nelson said of her decision to Ann Curry on the
Today show Thursday. This is for, on a more personal level, myself, my
children, single mothers, anybody who has to take public transportation,
[and] this is for anyone who ever had to be in a scary situation like
that.

Nelsons conviction shows an absurd incongruity in the justice system,
Roberts wrote. A woman with no prior offenses faced more jail time than
was served by a man who had already been convicted of two hit-and-runs, a
man who admitted to consuming a little alcohol along with some pain
medication before hitting the road on the day he killed a child.
.
Nelson is risking the freedom the judge granted her by going to trial
again, but shes willing to take a chance.
.
With this whole process being very lonely up until about the last three
weeks, when it became much more public that's helped a tremendous amount,
she said.
