This guy is a huge douche, him mocking Erin's situation just infuriates me. God forbid this guy ever has kids but if he did, how would he feel if his kid caused a serious accident and some little shit like himself openly mocked his kid. And for everyone else who mocks her, you don't know Erin Hughes, she is a great and wonderful person who made a mistake. She's a human. We are all human. We all make mistakes

she totally deserves to go to cook county. 18 yr olds are responsible for their actions. would you feel as bad if it were a black girl from the south side? women are not exempt from paying for what they have done wrong. we cant say its okay to send only certain types of people to jail. i dont care if she was on her way to give blood just after helping save three orphans from a fire...she nearly killed a classmate because she wasnt paying attention. hmmm...a woman not paying attention..hmm

Who cares if it's an accident and she was scared. She only smoked a "little" pot and she was about to call the police and the cops "suddenly" got there before she could make the call. Lies. It's someone's life, the fear of getting in trouble shouldn't supersede someone's right to live. That's just being selfish.

Garrard McClendon you embarass yourself and you make other journalists cringe

[coolnickq]

agreed. its an accident that is tragic for everyone involved. your sarcasm with the subject matter and stupid point about her being "too good for county" kills any credibility your 300-viewed video had. do some real reporting, not speculating.

who in the hell is this guy? he's an ignorant piece of s**t and erin hughes is a great girl.

[Janegrannis]

man, this must be relaly rough for both sides. and yes an accident is an accident, but not reporting it is no accident. lookin at it from both sides you cna see the fear and anguish that both girls must be feeling

Seriously I hope this man gets educated and realizes that in most situations like this NO one deserves to go to cook county jail. Black, white, south side, north shore. Whatever. Cook County jail should be reserved for people who are a danger to society. There is no doubt in my mind that Erin Hughes is not a danger to society. This idiot acts like she did it on purpose and is spoiled because of where she lives. This is outrageous. Probably why this guy is on some random crappy news channel.
