In all of the pain and sorrow here, there's also the sense somehow that the person who would have most helped you through something like this is precisely the friend you lost.
Knowing doesn't change what happened, but the potential for justice still matters. She deserves no less. That one person's unthinking carelessness and selfishness should have cost her life... that deserves an answer.
I'm so sorry this is all coming up again, but in the long run I'm glad they know whom to punish.
Thank you. One of my roommates is taking the news especially hard. He preferred it better as it being "just" an accident. Because now we have the whole "If only this guy stayed home" angle to think about. =/
