Audrey's law

To whom it may concern,
We as the State of Ohio need to have something changed in our hit and skip law. While the law punches hit and leaving the scene of the accident, its not really sending a message to the young people in this country. In order to send a message out to the young people of this county we need to increase the punishment for this very serious crime. There has been many families in this state who have had a loved one killed or a family member suffering from the incident for the rest of their lives and for the individual who hit them and ran, this just shows that they dont care about what happened to the individual who is lying on the ground suffering in pain or dying.
According to the State of Ohio law the individual who commits a hit and skip is only subjected to a maximum of five years in prison. Five years compared to the rest of the familys life without that loved one, that is just a slap on the wrist.
We would like to propose that the sentencing for Hit and skipping the scene of the crime would be increase to anywhere from 2 to 5 years to 15 to 30 years in prison without the chance of probation. They lost that chance for probation when they decide not to go back to see what or whom they hit.

we are each accountable for what we do, making a decsion to leave the scene was a cold hearted and thoughtless act. let's change this law.

I also think if you leave the scene you should give up your right whether it's an animal or person you should make sure of what you hit most people who leave the scene is either a DUI or someone with no insurance

what a mockery, a hit and run is a choice, you leave the person and hope u dont get caught. It should have the same punishment as murder.

Before being so judge mental; there are a few TRUE FACTS that have been left out of this terrible accident. First of all Audrey was in FACT dressed in all black:( black jeans,black jacket, and black boots). There are no side walks or a median on gerlaugh
