Severe Punishment for Hit & Run Driver; Causing Death

This is a petition asking for signatures to place before the judge. In this we sincerely ask the judge to not accept a plea bargain for Karen L Sims of 1372 SMITHWOODS LANE HICKORY GROVE SC born 09-05-1972. Case number J167365. Charge code 2463 -Charge description Traffic / Hit and run, duties of driver involved in accident with death.

Firstly we ask that the presiding judge NOT accept a plea bargain, and we request that she be tried by a jury of her peers.

On the 10th of January, 2009, two days after his 19th birthday, Karen Sims over Richard King, after leaving a football party. After running over the teen, she and her husband who was traveling with her in another vehicle got out and looked at the young man, lying mortally wounded in the middle of the rural, country road. They decided to leave him lying there; not calling for any medical assistance for him.

Karen Sims and her husband then went to another party.  Never once did Karen pick up the phone to call for help or for him, or turn herself in. She had no idea how long it would be before someone came along and found him.

Richard King lived for a while and died in the ambulance not far from the hospital. Those precious minutes that passed before someone came along and found him could have meant life or death for the young athlete, son, brother and friend. 

This kind of thing has to be stopped. People need to know that they cannot get away with doing things like this. So please let's stand up as a community and say we will not take this any longer. Let's make an example out of this woman, and put her behind bars where she belongs for a long time. Let's get justice for Richard King and stop something like this from happening to someone else!

This petition is asking the judge to make an example out of Karen Sims and that she receive the maximum punishment that the law allows for the crime she committed against Richard Scott King.

On January 10th 2009, Karen Sims ran over Richard, She and her husband, who was traveling with her in another vehicle, admitted they both got out of their vehicles and looked at Richard lying dying in the middle of the road before they got back into their cars and fled the scene. Leaving him on a lonely road alone, with no cares when someone might come along and find him.

After running over Richard, Karen allegedly went to another football party. Neither she nor her husband ever bothered to call the police to try to get help for this young man.

Richard a nineteen year old senior, football player, family member and friend died almost an hour later on his way to the hospital. 

She was out the next day only having paid three thousand dollars to get out. She got her drivers License and the car that she killed Richard with back within two days. She has since fixed the vehicle (Because she hit Richard so hard that it busted her radiator, bent the frame on her car, and busted out a wheel well) 

To this day, she STILL drives the car that she killed Richard in. 

Who's loved one will she run over and kill next?

This has got to stop!!
