   @eniatitova Did you see that the NYT covered the Mary Fong Lau case today?

     @jeridansky I hadn’t! Thank you for sharing that with me. I guess we’ll see what happens at the hearing tomorrow…

     @nomdeb Prior reporting: https://ktla.com/news/california/woman-80-accused-of-killing-family-of-4-in-california/

     The driver was a woman who is now 80, so she would have been 78 at the time of the crash.

     @jeridansky I wasn't familiar with the matter, in the article I read 86 year old who plowed into market was treated gently because of his age. I have very mixed feelings about this because it seems to me that he had a duty to not be driving if he was confused that easily. Though I know it could happen to younger people too. I watched my 85 year old MIL drive and the second I was able to say you should not drive anymore, give your cars to my SIL, I did. It wasn't about her. She could harm others.
