Last summer, a woman arguing with her husband while operating a vehicle lost control of the car and hit a motorcyclist, throwing him over a nearby bridge and killing him.  The woman was charged with homicide by neglect and her court date was scheduled for June of 2010.  It has since been delayed to August of the same year.  However, the negligent homicide she has been charged with has not prevented her from breaking more laws behind the wheel.  Less than a month after the July 2009 accident that resulted in the death of the Wisconsin motorcyclist, she received a speeding ticket in River Hills.  When she failed to pay the ticket, her license was suspended. 

In December 2009 she was charged with driving with a suspended license.  She received a speeding ticket the same night for driving 22 miles per hour over the speed limit.  The family of the deceased motorcylist is very upset that the woman is back behind the wheel endangering the lives of others and insists that even though they live out of town, they will be in attendance at the woman’s trial in August.

A toy gun that shoots small darts was recalled from stores nationwide in May after a four-year investigation resulted in the determination that the size and shape of the darts included with the toy were dangerous to small children.  A Milwaukee child died from choking on one of the toy gun’s darts in 2006 while he was at school.  No recall of the toy took place following the child’s death.  But when an Illionis child died last year under similar circumstances, the company who makes the toy was contacted regarding a recall of the 1.8 million toy guns in dollar stores across the country. 

Experts say that a child’s windpipe is approximately the same size as his pinky and therefore it is very important to keep small objects away from young children who are liable to ingest them.  Almost 200 children have died in the last 20 years from choking on small toys or pieces of toys.  Jurisdiction has resulted in the banning of children ages three to six playing with toys with small parts.  The number of warning labels on these toys has also gone up in recent years.
