- Sykes, who already faced four prior DUIs, explained her actions by claiming heavy drinking led to memory loss regarding the entire incident.

On the 3rd DUI there should've been prison time. Justice system needs an overhaul
She was giving tooooo many chances. 4 DUI is insane
What a horrible story. Those poor girls.
Rip to the victim😢😢I can't watch this smh
There is no reason she should have been free to do this with 4 previous DUI’s.
They bodycam video on the scene told me everything I needed to know about her
We dont take DUI seriously until the final "accident."
She remembered calling her mom, but dont remember the crash
It’s sad a person can get away with drunk driving until they kill somebody
