Philippa Curtis had sent and received 20 text messages before the collision that killed another driver in 2007.
Curtis will serve 21 months in jail for being irresponsible and careless while behind the wheel of a moving vehicle.
Because of Curtis' obsessive texting, she hit the stationary car of Victoria McBryde's car going 70 mph, resulting in McBryde's death of a serious brain injury. After crashing into McBryde's car, Curtis spun out into oncoming traffic and hit two more vehicles.
Curtis told the court that there were times when using a cell phone while driving is acceptable. Just hearing these words, leads me to believe that Curtis is not sorry about the murder she committed at all. Obviously, texting instead of paying attention is just too important for this new inmate.
Now the only communication Curtis will have to the outside world will be through a plate glass window.
