In bodycam footage, an arresting officer tells the driver she's acting 'completely careless about killing two people tonight' -- adding, 'That's sad and pathetic, and horrible all at the same time' (via toofab)

On bodycam, an arresting officer tells the driver she's acting "completely careless about killing two people tonight" -- adding, "That's sad and pathetic, and horrible all at the same time."

Stephanie Melgoza, 24, struck and killed two pedestrians -- Andrea Rosewicz, 43, and Paul Prowant, 55 -- following a night out at the Full Throttle bar in East Peoria, Illinois in April 2022. During the sentencing hearing, one of the victims' sisters asked the judge to impose the maximum sentence possible, 28 years -- and said Melgoza"destroyed multiple families with your selfishness" and has"zero consideration" for others.

The video, released by the Tazewell County Sheriff Department, began with Melgoza telling police she was the one who called 9-1-1, before referencing her college by exclaiming,"I go to Bradley, why would this happen to me?"
