Lindsay Hauck feels let down and disgusted over a justice system that was supposed to protect her and her late friend, Erin Smith.

Hauck is 香蕉视频直播渉eartbroken and devastated香蕉视频直播� over the loss of her close friend and her own life that she had built.

She is angry and frustrated that nobody in charge will give her any answers.

Hauck is a former Vernon nurse who was a passenger in a vehicle driven by her co-worker and friend, Smith, as the pair enjoyed a coffee break from their shift at Vernon Jubilee Hospital in the early hours of Oct. 23, 2014. As the pair drove through a green light northbound on 32nd Street, Smith香蕉视频直播檚 car was blindsided by a minivan that ran a red light on 30th Avenue, driven by Lori Victoria Vance.

After nearly three years, Vance pleaded guilty to charges of impaired driving causing Smith香蕉视频直播檚 death, and impaired driving causing bodily harm to Hauck. Vance was sentenced to three years for Smith香蕉视频直播檚 death, and one year 香蕉视频直播� to be served concurrent 香蕉视频直播� for causing Hauck香蕉视频直播檚 serious injuries. Vance was given a six-year driving prohibition upon completion of her jail term.

Six of eight charges against Vance were stayed by Crown counsel.

香蕉视频直播淭he system has let us all down except (Lori) Victoria Vance,香蕉视频直播� said Hauck in a four-page statement to The Morning Star.

香蕉视频直播淭hree years in jail, and losing her licence for only six years. Six years of no driving for killing somebody, then she香蕉视频直播檒l get her licence back.

香蕉视频直播淲hat the hell kind of world do we live in that that香蕉视频直播檚 an acceptable sentence for what she did?香蕉视频直播�

For nearly three years after the accident, said Hauck, she 香蕉视频直播渟at back silently as this nightmare dragged out longer and longer while some part of me was holding out hope that in the end, she (Vance) would be held accountable for what she had done and the justice system would do what I thought it was in place to do.香蕉视频直播�

Besides Vance, Hauck directs her anger at Crown counsel.

香蕉视频直播淭hey talk about wanting to save us the burden of a trial but what about the burden the last two-and-a-half years while they all did nothing?香蕉视频直播� asked Hauck. 香蕉视频直播淒on香蕉视频直播檛 we deserve an explanation? We all asked 香蕉视频直播榳hy are you taking so long to press charges? We were told it was because they wanted to make sure they charged her with everything possible so she was held accountable and that they wanted to build a strong case.

香蕉视频直播淭hey made us all think this was actually being taken seriously and that there was going to be serious consequences for this woman.香蕉视频直播�

For nearly three years, Hauck said she has 香蕉视频直播渘ot been able to find any peace or even properly mourn the loss of my amazing friend.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚 have built up a wall inside myself in order to avoid feeling the loss I experienced and in building that wall, I have the ability to enjoy my life the way I once did,香蕉视频直播� she said.

In writing her statement, Hauck said she is 香蕉视频直播渢rying to find my own way to whatever peace I can,香蕉视频直播� because that is what her friend Erin would want.

香蕉视频直播淓rin wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 want me to spend the rest of my life angry and full of hate because that香蕉视频直播檚 not how Erin lived her life, but I needed to have my truth heard,香蕉视频直播� she said.

香蕉视频直播淔or two-and-a-half years, this has plagued every second of my life. It香蕉视频直播檚 the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I go to bed. I have lost parts of who I am, some of which I will never get back and some I am desperately still trying to find.香蕉视频直播�

Hauck praised RCMP Victims Assistance and the police themselves 香蕉视频直播渇or all the hard work they did in this case.香蕉视频直播�

She also thanked the community at large.

香蕉视频直播淭hank you to everyone who has supported me through this. I香蕉视频直播檓 extremely blessed to have had all of you there beside me.

香蕉视频直播淚 know how lucky I am to be here today and I don香蕉视频直播檛 take my life for granted, but Erin wasn香蕉视频直播檛 lucky and it breaks my heart that this is the way it was all handled. Erin deserved so much more than this.香蕉视频直播�
