Question

Donna Thomas is a 21 year old college junior. On Friday night, she went to a local bar with three friends. Her friend, Carla Johnson, volunteered to be the designated driver. However, after they arrived, Carla began drinking. Donna drank four beers in a two hour period. The third friend left the bar with other friends. Fearing that Carla was too drunk to drive, Donna decided to drive them home. In her intoxicated state, Donna accidently traveled off the roadway into a ditch, lost control of her car, and drove into a house. Donna and Carla were not injured but an elderly woman, who was asleep, in bed suffered several broken ribs and a concussion. When the police arrived, they conducted a field sobriety test and arrested Donna. Her blood alcohol content was .08, which is the legal limit. The victim has agreed to participate in a restorative justice hearing because she feels that forgiveness and mercy may teach Donna more than harsh punishment.
