The 18-year-old woman charged with vehicular manslaughter in the death of Hempstead woman told her side of the story Wednesday, and some of her comments are shocking.


Quote from the article:

Before her arraignment at Nassau County District Court on Wednesday, a very emotional Gerdes told reporters "I didn't mean to do it. The car went out of control -- I was pressing the brake...it was a was a mistake." However, it's what she told police that is hard to believe. At 2:10 a.m. Wednesday, about 16 hours after the Tuesday morning accident, in a statement to police, Gerdes was quoted as saying: "The thing that made me feel not so bad was she was old. "I mean, 70 years is a long time to live." Defense attorney John R. Lewis says his client was headed to court on Tuesday to face grand larceny charges for stealing jewelry from her mother when the crash occurred.

Well, here is hoping you live 70 more years. In jail.
