It makes me realize that we aren’t just talking about traffic violations here.
We are talking about potential tragedy.
We are talking about lives that could have been lost.
Now, let me read to you what the prosecutor has recommended.
Assistant District Attorney Sarah Chen, who has been with the Providence DA’s office for nine years and has handled over 327 traffic cases with an 89% conviction rate, is asking for a substantial fine of $10,000, a 2-year license suspension, 150 hours of mandatory community service, and a jail sentence of 90 days to drive home the seriousness of these offenses.
the defense attorney, attorney Jennifer Morrison from Morrison Legal Group on North Main
Street, and she is a good attorney who has been practicing criminal defense for 15 years, graduating from Roger Williams Law School in 2009, is asking for leniency.
She points out that Madison Thornton has no prior criminal record.
She suggests that a fine of $3,000 and 80 hours of community service would be sufficient.
