Mary Fong Lau, now 80, will still avoid prison time and home detention, and the judge said she could reapply for her license in 3 years. Her driving killed a family of four in 2024. (dnyuz.com)

Article stolen directly from The New York Times. No clue what "DNYUZ" is supposed to mean, and there's no trace of ownership on the site, but it's clearly just aggregating stories from elsewhere and then minimally acknowledging their verbatim taking at the bottom.

Bad for a lot of reasons, and I'm not talking about the ones that hurt the publisher. There are no updates to the article should they become available, the average reader won't know the source of what they're reading, ostensibly images in the article body are missing...

Heather Knight is a reporter in San Francisco, leading The Times’s coverage of the Bay Area and Northern California.

The post San Francisco Driver Gets Probation After Killing a Family of 4 appeared first on New York Times.

...literally at the bottom of the article including a link to the original article.

I had a whole paragraph here ... but it is basically i think you are an idiot. blocked.

That lady should not be allowed to be behind the wheel ever again! Shame on her thinking she could be and shame on her family for allowing it. She's clearly not mentally capable of it.

Frankly the term "Sentenced" should not apply to this "penalty" for this crime. Maybe "coddled" or "tsk-tsk'd"? Is she or someone in her family a politically-connected billionaire?
