Sentenced: Woman charged in Maryland wreck that killed 5 kids

[Sugar Cookie]

A Maryland woman has been indicted on charges of vehicular manslaughter and vehicular homicide in a February wreck that killed a man and five children.

News outlets report 32-year-old Dominique R. Taylor, of Bowie, was indicted Tuesday. It's unclear if she's been arrested. An investigation determined she was driving with more than twice the legal blood alcohol level of .08 in her system.

Prosecutors say Taylor was driving about 4:30 a.m. when she lost control of the car and swerved into trees.

Authorities say the children, all relatives, weren't wearing seat belts and were ejected. Taylor's children, 8-year-old London and 5-year-old Paris Dixon, were killed along with 6-year-old Rickelle Ricks, 14-year-old Zion Beard and 15-year-old Damari Herald. Passenger 23-year-old Cornell D. Simon later died from his injuries.

If they were lucky, they had fallen asleep before it happened. That's what I want to believe anyway.

2 times the legal limit @ 430am ... who the fuck let her drive ... charge them as well ... no bars open ... no stores can sell ... no liquor / beer stores open ... WTF?!

Senseless. And of course, she's the only one that survived.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. -- A Maryland woman convicted of killing six passengers, five of them children, in a drunk driving crash has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.

Dominique R. Taylor, 33, pleaded guilty in September to six counts of motor vehicle manslaughter. She faced a sentence of up to 30 years, but bypassed a trial and was instead handed a prison term about a dozen years lighter Friday, The Washington Post reported.

Taylor repeatedly apologized to those gathered in the courtroom, which included many of her own relatives, before telling the judge: “I don’t even deserve" to be alive.
