This is priceless. Thug life admitted to being in possession of a gun and it “firing accidentally." Uh, you mean you fired the gun, but not accidentally.

Blame the gun but not the thug. And if the incident was accidental, as she so claims, then why did she take off?

The common street thug is a fine specimen indeed. Void of thought and compassion, yet remorseful in court; especially when looking at a long prison sentence.

Street thugs one and two should be sentenced, at the least, to life terms.

A sad state of affairs that only seem to be getting worse.

So this career criminal is using the Alec Baldwin defense. Weak.
Sorry, but you murdered someone and should be serving a Life Term in prision. It is tax money well spent to keep criminals off our streets so that innocent familities do not have to deal with what the victim's family and friends have to face the rest of their lives.
And the rest of this criminal's gang should also be spending big time in prison.
Lets see what our premissive DA does....

The DA office has all the evidence they need. Do us tax payers a favor and skip the trial, straight to prison for these two clowns.

She's been arrested 26 times since 2014. Keep her in prison for life!

I find the following very interesting:

"Co-defendant David Guillory, 31, was charged with four felonies: child abuse, accessory after the fact (knowledge of crime) to robbery, evading police with willful disregard for safety and evading police while driving against traffic."

Because I always thought that all defendants involved in a murder were charged with murder as well.

Just hoping that "justice" is swift here, and that both "go in" for life w/o possibility of parole. The side benefit is that the killer's daughter may have a chance at a decent life w/o her "mother."

Paul, our legislature passed a bill a couple years ago that watered down the felony murder law making it unlikely in this incident for the driver to be charged. But I agree, both of them need to be removed from society permanently.

Shouldn't the shooter receive a harsher sentence than the getaway driver?

The court will determine whether he was an actual accomplice or a victim of circumstance...being in the wrong place at the wrong time and using poor judgement.

Unless the crime was pre-meditated, the driver should not be punished to the same extent as the murderer.

"Deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop but the driver – later identified by authorities as Guillory – allegedly failed to yield, drove the wrong direction down a one-way street and got back onto the freeway.

During the ensuing pursuit, the Pathfinder weaved in and out of traffic at more than 90 mph and drove onto the shoulder to pass, according to Swalwell, who added that "the front passenger door of the vehicle appeared to be swaying open and appeared severely damaged."

The ACSO fixed-wing aircraft was also involved in the chase, according to authorities.

The SUV ultimately exited at Golf Links Road in Oakland, ran a red light, sped down the street and drove in the opposite direction of traffic at times to pass other vehicles, Swalwell said."

All with an unrestrained 2 year old in the car. Yeah, I'm okay with him being removed from society.

Guillory was an accomplice who endangered others as well. He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
