Offender Update...

For those of you who have followed the case from the start, here's an update: The drunk driver who killed my brother (I'll just call her "the offender" for this post) has been on Home Incarceration for the last (almost) 3 years. Her sentence was 1 year in prison and 3 years HIP. Earlier this week my dad got a phone call that the offender could not be located by her equipment (ankle monitor) and was feared to have violated. A little while later, my dad got another call that "it's ok, she's been home all along and that the equipment had malfunctioned." That day, I called the Greenville, SC Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services. I spoke to a woman about the offender. I could not locate the offender on any online searches and I was trying to find out how long she had left on her sentence. A couple days go by and I finally get a call back today. The offender finished HIP yesterday and will be reporting to Dept of PPP on Monday to do 2 years community supervision. I will get a call next week explaining the parameters of her probation. I know she still has to pay my dad back for the funeral. She has only paid $100 over the last 2 years. I wish she'd go ahead and get it paid. Every time my dad gets a check, it'll be a reminder of Stephen's death. I also know she has to do 300 hours of community service. I really hope she'll use that time to do some good...maybe speak about what she did, the dangers of drunk driving, drinking under age, etc. I would also really like to hear from her. I'd like to know where her head is at right now. Strangely, I'd like to know how she's doing.
