The trial of Shalenea Turnball has begun. The Glencoe woman has been charged after the hit and run death of Tony Degraw 25 was struck walking along Dundonald Rd Jan 1st 2007. She has pleaded not guilty.
She was at a New Years Party Drinking, got in her vehicle, drove home, hit someone and then hid the vehicle in the garage. That sure sounds guilty to me! People have to take responsibility for their actions. This lady is 25 years old, should know enough not to drink and drive and now she has killed somebody. That's pretty black and white if you ask me.
Like every other case I'm sure the courts will drag this one out as well as the press while the Degraw family suffer even more. It stated in the London Free Press that Turnbull had been drinking and then got into an argument with her common-law spouse, he left and she went to find him. Who cares, guilty! If I was driving and thought I hit something I would make sure I knew what I hit, why didn't she turn around?
There are so many questions this lady needs to answer, it just doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure she knew she hit a person, was scared, knew she was drinking so she went home and hid the vehicle. We'll see who's right soon!
