Laura’s parents wanted 15 years for the death of their daughter. Over the two years Jessica was on trial; she spoke at schools, churches, and community groups to talk about her life changing experience. In May 2008, Jessica accepted a plea bargain of four years in prison and two years’ probation.

“I miss Laura so much – I know she paid the ultimate price and I have the rest of my life ahead of me. But I have to wake up every morning without my best friend, and the devastating knowledge that I killed her. That's my life sentence,” said Jessica at a school filled with juniors and seniors 3 days before their prom. Laura’s parents have yet to speak to Jessica or my family. Jessica had come to the conclusion that she will never be the same again and that we should cherish the times we have with our love ones.
