Or she could've gotten pregnant her first semester of college, flunked out, never received a sorority bid, and been considered a social outcast. Who knows and it happens to "the best of them." It's a huge waste because a life was taken, not because she was "really nice and really smart."
I really feel sorry for what happened to this young lady but I really find people's reactions to be interesting. If she had not been a "really nice and really smart" white girl who people thought was pretty, mainstream America wouldn't care so much. They certainly wouldn't be talking about it so much almost 6 years later. Her family would've been struggling to get law enforcement attention, media attention, let alone a Lifetime movie.
I am saying this as someone with experience in victimology. I am responding to what Alumiyum typed and not Alumiyum's tone or what she intended.
