Drunk Driver Pleads Guilty To Manslaughter

CENTREVILLE — The drunk driver involved in a fiery crash that killed two people has pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter while under the influence of alcohol per se, according to Queen Anne’s County State’s Attorney Lance Richardson.

Kaitlin Ashley Omara’s blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit when her car crossed the center line Aug. 11, 2013, and struck a motorcycle head on. Omara’s test results showed a 0.25 blood alcohol content.

Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 13, 2015, with Queen Anne’s County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Ross. Richardson said Omara’s attorneys, Charles O. Fisher Jr. and Stephanie Shipley, asked for time for the 24-year-old Westminster woman to complete her military obligation, finish the semester at college and make arrangements for the care of her young child.

I can't believe her attorneys asked the judge to grant time for her, so should to cover up lose ends. How about the people she killed? Where was their time?

The child concerns me,but the remaining requests are ridiculous.A court cannot dictate what would happen to her in the military or where she would be sent.Scheming at it's best.

She can have it when the people she murdered get some time to finish up what they needed to do

I think the military should hold hold her accountable for her poor representation of her respective branch.

SHe got off easy. Drunk drivers should get attempted mass murder. The ones who do actually kill should get murder 1.

Is her last name, OMARA, Islamic?
if it is she will be pardoned by Holder or Obama.

Her last name is a variation of O'Mara, an Irish name.
The military can charge her with the same crime - there is no double jeopardy - and discharge her from service under dishonorable or less than honorable conditions.
