If her mental health issues were so bad, why does she still have a Nursing License ? As an ER physician for 30 plus years, I have NEVER seen a remorseful drunk driver who killed people. Ever. She doesn't even look upset, just annoyed
@@pearls713 I think that they didn't start introducing major DUI laws in the US until the 80s. Before then there used to be less consequences for drunks injuring or killing people
If she’s responsible enough to obtain a nursing degree, then she is responsible enough to take accountability for her actions. This is sickening. No excuse. She deserves life
@@Stinkycheeseman17 “Until 2009, Linton was working as a sales manager for General Motors, according to her LinkedIn profile. She began working in healthcare in 2010 as an 'extern' at NYU, despite not completing her nursing degree in 2015. “
She was healthy enough to get a degree, Keep a job, recover 13 incidents, Get a Mercedes and insurance she is mentally capable to stand trial for murder.
What exactly is her cocky demeanor? Did she flip off someone? Yelled at someone? Some people express emotional differently. Some people, like myself, can't express emotional at all? It's a good thing that internet judges don't count. I am not defending her.
@@dt6653 you’re literally defining aggressiveness, cockiness isn’t the same thing at all. She’s being cocky by seeming rather indifferent to the weight of her actions, as if she doesn’t fear the legal system’s repercussions since she claims she’s mentally unstable.
She's crying and overwhelmed, hopefully with guilt. She knows her life is over with, crazy or not. Don't worry... America jails it's mentally ill, there is no way she is getting any help even if it would've prevented this. Same goes for everybody else who needs mental help too.... the best they can get in this shithole country is jail.
@@dt6653 Na... it's a good thing real judges do and she gets no bail... she clearly thinks this is just a burden on her and has no remorse for the people she killed.. narcissists have no concept of "emotional"
This lady “NICOLE” has to be accountable. Mental health cannot be an excuse for ALL murders. It seems like everyone is claiming “M.H. No, you have to atone for this tragedy.
She has to have mental issues. Who does this? She ran through a red light while attempting to kill herself. Someone attempting to do that to themselves have a mental issue. First instinct of humans is to save themselves. She was going for it and nothing mattered. That is literally insane. No normal person would do that.
Her accident was just that, an accident. A very big fuck up. Call it whatever you want, it was an accident. She didn't intentionally aim to kill people. She didn't intentionally aim to crash into any vehicles. She was intentionally driving very fast and obviously not paying attention but she wasn't attempting to hurt anybody. The argument could be made that with her driving so fast she was intentionally putting other drivers at risk, however, that argument would still rely on proving that she was intending to do harm. US law is based on intent, that's why "suspicious activity" isn't enough of a reason for a police officer to stop you. He must have enough evidence to prove that you have committed, are in the act of committing, or are about to commit a crime. This case will rely on the prosecutor PROVING beyond a reasonable doubt her INTENT to cause harm. The death penalty is too harsh, she isn't a serial killer or rapist, but life in prison is usually always reserved for first degree murder or other "life changing" crimes (e.g. Rape, Armed Robbery). I bet she will receive a set sentence, maybe a few decades but she will probably be released one day as long as things don't go bad for her in prison.
We need to stop making excuses for her. She wasn't drunk. She was completely alert and in control. She was mentally cognizant enough to hold down a complicated skilled profession and buy a new Mercedes from her career.
Yes, let’s go the mental health route! Seriously?! She was reckless, and didn’t give a damn about anyone but herself. Plus she had previous accidents. Kudos to the judge for keeping her in jail with zero bail!!
My wife was a counselor for adults with mental health issues for years, she also taught college psychology for years. She always says that mental health issues are never an excuse tor hurting people. If you are dangerous, you are dangerous, period! Must be taken out of circulation!
Absolutely...and if she wants to argue that's she's crazy, that's even more reason to get rid of her. I have zero issue with society taking out the psychos
It's one thing for someone with mental health issues to have a public meltdown, commit petty crimes, or hurt themselves. But when you're so dangerous you can KILL PEOPLE, you need to be put in an institution where you can have doctors that know how to help with therapy/meds.
That's an extreme view and there are always exceptions to extreme views. Responses such as yours written in anger are often not sensible. So go ahead and trash what I said if you want but I stand by it regardless.
If that's true your wife should also know how complicated mental health is. I'm not defending the lady in this scenario but your wife doesn't sound like she ever learned one of the most important tenets of being a mental health worker, Unconditional positive regard.
Actually, I drove by there yesterday. That stretch where she was coming from is a pretty long downhill stretch. People speed down that stretch all the time. I know I be going 60 in that area. And people be flying by me so I know they have to be going 80+. If I had to make an educated guess. The heffa was probably on her phone and didn't see the red light.
@Queen Nové if she wanted to do that. She could've just went to some tall parking structure and jumped off. It's one of the reasons I have nothin but respect for heaven's gate. As wacky as their beliefs were. They didn't try taking nobody else's life. They committed suicide peacefully.
@@westcoastnative2523 true, I think it's only one red light from Coliseum. And I know if you're driving 60 some idiots are tailgating. But her speed was criminal, and not seeing the red light is very unlikely. She has no excuse.
Please... Mental health. She sure passed a driving test, and a nurse degree. It sounded like selfish uncontrolled anger to me. Which was the recklessness.
This reporter is good. I like her enthusiasm and reporting skills. As for Nicole, this is her destiny. I can't believe she didn't get hurt and was able to do this for so long. I cannot believe how wreckless she is and to top it off, a nurse.
@@kimpossible1413 was that in the video presentation I must have missed it.. so it was just a case of suicidal road rage? SMH one has to wonder what she was capable of as a nurse.. during the Inquisition and all
My prayers go out these families who lost their loved ones and to those who lost their lives. Also my prayers to those who had to see this horrific accident take place. God Bless you. 🙏
So ,if she had mental health issues, why was she taking care of patients as a nurse? If she was fine to work as a nurse,she should be fine to face the charges.
You would have to fire over 90 percent of the medical field then based on that logic. The vast majority of people deal with mental health issues (anxiety and depression), especially after the pandemic. These people are human and you can’t exclude mentally ill people from obtaining jobs. You wouldn’t have very many workers in any field.

This individual deserves a lifetime in prison. Just bc she was angry at her own personal problem, she decided to let it all out by killing strangers. Selfish selfish selfish.
After what Americans has been through the last 2 years everyone has mental health issues of some degree, but are not driving like her. There is no good excuse for what she did. She doesn’t look upset at all. And this woman was a nurse out there. Has anyone die under her care?
She did a horrible thing, but you cannot use this incident to question her nursing care, they are mutually exclusive. Driving over the speed limit does not make you bad at your profession.
@@joshanya2941 Doing what she did shows reckless thinking and behavior. If you were in the hospital in critical care would you want her as your nurse after this knowing your very life could be in her hands. Did you even see the wreck?
This woman driver is a repeat offender criminal. By the looks of her demeanor, she does not look too concerned about the multiple tragedies she is responsible for. She needs to stay in jail for the rest of her life if found guilty of gross manslaughter.
She deserves to never get out. I hate hearing about shit like this. It's terrifying how we can just literally be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Here one minute . Gone the next due to one person's negligence
Me too bro. Me too. This is so, so sad. Unfortunately this isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time tragedies like this occur. We just have to keep the families of the victims in our prayers.
Hello. Maybe, just maybe, she’ll never want to be behind the wheel of another vehicle ever again (of course depending on the outcome of trials). This horrific tragedy might prove very hard for her, learning and knowing about those people whose lives she took. Having to see their photos and hear stories from loved ones left behind. That’s a lot of burden, worse than prison time in my opinion.
She’s an RN! She’s assessing, calculating important medications to administer patients on the fly , etc. had she had real mental health issue she wouldn’t be successfully travel nursing to multiple facilities, period.
@@hersheyssmith2104 I saw her interview. She picked the baby off the floor, they tried to revive before paramedics got there but the poor baby was already gone SMH That poor women is going to be scared for life
@@hersheyssmith2104 - I remember reading her description. It's the thing I can't get out of mind. I keep think could he have been saved it someone had caught him. I know it's a futile thought, but...
@@yeeter2291 i'm sorry who was quiet about the mass shootings? Tell me who. People are treating her the same as a mas shooter wtf are you talking about?
Biden and Kamala and Pelosi and Obama and AL Sharpton and Rev. Jessie Jackson will all come out and say its just a misunderstanding and she should be let free.
if you kill someone doing 90 +mph and there's no mechanical malfunction you should get the death penalty. I drive a truck for a living, and I'm so sick of seeing the carnage that reckless drivers cause. Slow down America.
If you can be considered stable enough and cleared to be a traveling nurse then you can be stable enough and cleared to face the consequences of your actions
@@carylanncompton5882 Wow.... and they are always posting stuff on Instagram,just like the young girl who killed those 2 State Troopers and that other young man, that social media is a bunch of mess so glad I never got involved with that FOOLISHNESS!!!!! The Police said why the driver of that car was I'm the hospital they asked her what led up to crash, I wonder did she tell them what she posted on Instagram?????
If the defense is using “mental health issues” in the past as an excuse, how could she be allowed to be a traveling nurse in charge of others well being? Aren’t individuals with jobs in the medical field tested for competency? I certainly hope they are. I feel awful over the loss of life from this horrible incident.
I'm a nurse, MH issues are not grounds to keep someone from being a nurse. Honestly I believe that 90% of healthcare workers suffer from some type of MH issue, rather it be depression or anxiety. Some nurses even suffer from PTSD after seeing so many people pass away during the pandemic. I'm not excusing what she did, I hope she rots in jail. If she knew about her MH issues she should have gotten help. There is no excuse. But to answer your question the board of nurses can not keep you from getting your license based off a past history of mental health issues, that would be discrimination.
This is an oversight problem as well. How was she able to continue driving with 13 wrecks in her driving history! Some people dropped the ball big time
Same, but being a traveler she probably didn’t get too tight with the regular staff. If she goes the mental health route with her defense that then opens her up to scrutiny for continuing to practice with a known impairment. Either way she’s off the streets and bedside for ever.
@@tarilynmonroe yeah I saw that shitttt! Now, she needs her ass kicked if she abandoned her patients! Makes us health care professionals look bad! It seems that someone should have noticed if she was this mentally unstable.
When a mother dies along with the unborn child it's called double homicide. If a doctor snips the spinal column of an unborn baby it's called 'reproductive healthcare'. Sickening isn't it?
I see it all the time where I live. Driving WAY too fast, tailgating, constantly changing lanes trying to pass every vehicle, just barely missing other cars in the process. At 70 mph, they’ll be less than 1/2 car length behind the car in front of them. Super aggressive and dangerous driving. Here’s where the real tragedy lies …with that style of reckless driving, they must have a lot of tickets. Their insurance is probably so expensive, they can’t afford it. It’s so pervasive with so many doing it, you have to call it a culture. It’s a really bad culture.
Definitely true and im from Houston sometimes I truly have to pray when I come back to visit after a deployment because Houston drivers will literally try to run you off the road. Made it back home now I have to make it back to my duty station smh
I don't understand how judge come up with the years...what is the difference between 90 years and life in prison..sounds the same..obviously she won't live for 90 years...
Omg, just why? Why? Why in the absolute fuck are you going 90 mph at a fucking intersection?! Excuse my language but this just made me sick... Total disregard for any life, including her own.... That just made me cry, it made my stomach ache... Those poor precious babies and their families, I can't even imagine what they went through... It just kills me to read stuff like this... Going that fast is totally unavailable, it can absolutely make the difference in saving a life and make a difference between a fiery crash and a fender bender 😔😭🥺
She needs to be held accountable for the accident, the injuries & the deaths…she wasn’t too “mental” if she was a traveling nurse! 90 miles an hour and hits traffic like a hurricane will causes deaths no doubt about it!
She literally killed 6 people and this monster is showing no remorse! AND to think she was a nurse is pretty scary …. Lock her up and throw away the key for good.
Reporter: "She has no criminal history." There is a first time for everything... I once knew someone who had severe mental issues and I only got in the car once with him, never again. He was driving 75 km/hr in a 30km/hr school zone and when I mentioned that he should slow down for the risk of hitting a child or anyone for that matter, he replied "What school zone? I didn't see any signs I thought the limit was 90 km/hr. Totally disconnected from reality at that moment, he actually did not see anything but the road. He thought he was on the highway. When he was on his meds, no problem. I found out later from his brother that he had not taken his meds for over a month. He is in a special care home after having a bad accident on his bicycle when he ran into a dumpster at full speed and broke his neck. He said that he didn't see anything on the road. He was riding his bicycle in the middle of the night down a city alley..in the dark.
I wonder if he ever had visual perception tests/brain scans done. There’s a few lesser known brain disorders which cause you to ‘not see’/ignore things although the eyes see them. Like agnosia, hemispatial neglect. Interesting to think about…
Literally in a wheelchair after spending a few days in the hospital and you equate that to "not a scratch..." If you're gonna complain, be correct about it, Karen....
@@momtoask Also looked like she was bandaged up. I can’t imagine even breathing after something so horrible and knowing my negligence was the cause. If she had mental health issues before she definitely has them now. This is so awful!
She should definitely get life in prison. More frustrating though is how she was allowed to keep driving after so many accidents, you should have your driving privileges permanently revoked after 5 accidents or 2 DUI's.
if all these psychopath killers are mentally ill then why aren't they living in a mental institution 24/7 for their entire life to spare innocent lives?
@@thatshot8 the system already spending a fortune on them when they spend the rest of their lives in prison for killing ppl. at least we save lives by sending them early to mental institutions before they kill innocent ppl.
i don't know how her she didn't get a criminal record cos she did bodly injur someone back in 2020 and they should of took her licence back off her back then it would of saved so many lifes
These beautiful souls lost so horrifically. Sending love and light to their families. I hope this woman gets her mental health in order and spends the rest of her days FULLY aware of the horror she caused and rotting in prison.
@Troyphy they did however mention she has been in 10 crashes....I've had a license for 33 years I've been in less than 5 accidents. I think there may be a pattern there or at the very least she is a horrible driver mentally I'll or not.
Her lawyer will say she fell asleep or passed out. If you see the crash video, you'll agree that If she wasn't on drugs, there's no way anyone in there right mind would go that fast and intensionally crash into others. Either way, she can consider her life done.
