Two street racers get prison time for deaths

Two women were sentenced to prison Thursday for a teenage race on a busy Norcross highway that resulted in the deaths of two people in 2003.

Wendy Jennings, now 20, and Susan Osley, also 20, pleaded guilty in Gwinnett Superior Court to vehicular homicide in the March 2003 deaths of Julia Burns, 61, and Jacob Miller, 17, on Peachtree Parkway.



Jennings was sentenced to five years in prison and 10 on probation for the incident, which involved a 90 miles-an-hour dash down the parkway.

Osley, who attended Greater Atlanta Christian at the time, was sentenced to four years in prison and 11 years' probation.

Jennings and Osley got into an impromptu race between their BMWs that ended when Jennings flipped her car and it landed in the path of a car driven by Julia Burns, said Gwinnett District Attorney Danny Porter.

Miller, Jennings' boyfriend at the time, was a passenger in her car.

Porter said he asked for more prison time for Jennings because she initiated the race.

The case was unusual in that Jennings' father, James Christopher Jennings,was indicted for allegedly allowing his daughter to drive an unsafe car. Porter said Thursday that case is still pending. The indictment said Jennings knew the BMW had worn brakes and tires, but still permitted his daughter to drive it.

During Thursday's hearing, presided over by Judge Richard Winegarden, several of Burns family members spoke.

"I am sad and angry," said Jason Berman, Julia Burns' son. "Not only is my family upset but I believe my mother is upset."

Burns' brother Frank Burns said "the senseless killing has left us devastated. Wendy Jennings and Susan Osley, children from priviliged families, made a deliberate choice that caused the end of (Burns) life."

Burns was returning to her Duluth home from a Florida vacation when she was killed.

Jennings, who lived in Norcross, spoke briefly during the hearing. She said she was so injured in the crash that she did not remember it.

"Even though I do not remember it I accept full responsibility," Jennings said.

Female drivers, no survivors.

They should've gotten more time.

[MongolPup]

That was under 3 minutes away from my house; we could hear the helicopters circling. Jacob lived right down the street; his sister was really messed up for a LONG time.

[NoPainT]

I know Susan was high at the time. After the wreck, she fled the scene but came back later.

This should have been their punishment:

No seatbelts. No airbags. No saftey precautions at all. However they come out is how they will be. Later, QD.

[Marcos Ruiz]

On a serious note: That same judge sent my bestfriend to jail for something similar. Why is no one bringing up the fact that judge Winegarden had a family member that died the same way.. We didnt find out until the day of the case.

[2.0civic]

marcos, Who the hell cares about your case?? Are you trying to justify vehicular homicide??

QD, i agree with you on that punishment though

[§treet_§peed]

then i can see why he does the things the way he does...i would be tuff as hell on them also...

[Kyle]

What kinda prison would that put you in? Low security or the ones with the lez's. Or maybe they both have lez's I don't know.

[2.0civic]

all prisons have lesbians...they gotta get it somewhere

[quickdodge®]

So? If your bestfriend was streetracing, he deserved everything he got. I'd be harder on those idiots, myself, if I lost a family member to that crap. Later, QD.

QD, if it didnt happen to HIS friend, im sure he would have the same opinion

[ahmonrah]

damn! you beat my horribly to posting this.....but yeah,,,bad brakes, worn tires and teenage drivers racing? recipe for disaster...hope they enjoy the broom.

[Kyle]

So? If your bestfriend was streetracing, he deserved everything he got. I'd be harder on those idiots, myself, if I lost a family member to that crap. Later, QD.

I agree. When I look at it in the perspective of what if a friend or family member of mine was killed it pisses me off. People need to be more carefull and pay the price when they fuck up other peoples lives, not just 5 fucking years. That's my opinion.

[§treet_§peed]

i mean i do it..my friends do it..we all know the risks...but if i was to kill someone because of my ignorance..then i WOULD EXCPET MY PUNISHMENT...what ever it maybe...because it would of been my fault becase of the choices and desizions i made/make....

[quickdodge®]

i mean i do it..my friends do it..we all know the risks...

Here's my honest take...I hope either you or your friends die before someone else does. Too bad the risk isn't to only you people and not to innocent people. Later, QD.

[§treet_§peed]

also another thing...this is another reason i hate doing high way runs or doing it ina any kinda crowded area....i like to do runs in a sucluded business park...where their are very few people around...and the people that are around are behind us....and stay there

[§treet_§peed]

Here's my honest take...I hope either you or your friends die before someone else does. Too bad the risk isn't to only you people and not to innocent people. Later, QD. as do i...i could not live with myself know that because of a descion i made costed another person their life....

[§treet_§peed]

another funny thing..i can do 100 MPH + on a moutain and not worry one little bit...but i can't get on a roller coaster lol

[Marcos Ruiz]

So? If your bestfriend was streetracing, he deserved everything he got. I'd be harder on those idiots, myself, if I lost a family member to that crap. Later, QD.

Reading back at my post it does sound like Im disagreeing with what happen to these chics. They deserve what they got. As for the term Im sure they wont even do a year in prison.

My Bestfriend killed his cousin who was a good friend of mine a couple years back in a car accident off of harrington. It was an accident. Thats a whole nother situation. I just dont like that judge. I also dont like the laws in gwinnett, but back to topic. I was just blowing off some steam in the wrong place.

That's my opinion.maybe as an added sentence the judge will make them each send a dollar a day to the ladies fmaily, addressed to the dead, with an apology letter.

[LiL PaKi]

I miss Jacob :( ... I went to school with him.. I remember when this happend... :( RIP

and your parents having you was an accident as well

[2.0civic]

marcos, so its cool that these people killed an old lady (which was an accident she died) and they get prison but someone you know had an accident and its ok, they shouldnt be charged?? i seriously dont see your reasoning but whatever

[toonz]

This is sad to hear

[2.0civic]

This is sad to hearwhy? that people are getting rightfully punished for their fuck up?

[Marcos Ruiz]

Heres a bit more detail because I dont think my friend should of done any jail time. Ill explain.



Short story:

These two chics were racing. One wrecked and killed two people in another car. Girls go to jail.

Short story :

Guy and his cousin in a car. Go around a turn going 8 over the speed limit. Lose control and hit a lady dead on. Lady in the other car broke her legs. Cousin dies by hitting his head on the dash (no seatbelt) and 28. Goose neck.

Cousins parents and wife dont press charges. Guy goes to jail for 4 and 12yrs probation. Will do 21yrs if breaks any probation rules.


I really dont think my bestfriend should be doing anytime.

[2.0civic]

how fast were they going?? 8 over through a curve unless it was like a 65 speed limit i really dont see 8 over doint that...i think theres more to it cause if what happened happened that way, i think he would have been ejected. no offense but i just dont buy 8 over

[§treet_§peed]

plain and simple...what a dumb exscuse for a bitch..... life /

No bullshit.

[2turbo4u]

So ya friends was leaning, huh?

[Ericp]

yeah I heard about this on the neal borts(sp?) show this morning

[LiL PaKi]

If i can recall correctly when I first heard about Jacob's death they told me that the girl driver was parallized from neck down and couldn't remember anything or anyone.. and they told her that once she got out of the hospital she was going to jail after being told that she killed someone and doesn't remember... can someone confirm? did anyone else know Jacob :( ... he went to Norcross High School... would have been class of 2004 ... :(

[LiL PaKi]

I was also told Jacobs body went through the front passenger seat and was found in the back seat and that he was so messed up that they has to cremate his body...

so your buddy died doing 53 in a 45 curve?? im sorry but if a driver i know cant handle a curve 8 over, i sure as hell wouldnt be riding, much less be unbuckled..


you said he goosenecked...so what was he doing facing the floorboard in a curve anyway?? if thats what you are talking about as far as goosenecked, still doesnt add up

[Marcos Ruiz]

Nah gooseneck is when you brake your neck. He hit his head on the dash board hence the no seat belt.

[2.0civic]

i know.....ok....simple physics lesson....car goes 53, you go 53 correct?? assuming the guy is sitting upright he either a.) legs hit dash and head hit something else or b.) gets ejected out the windshield...


Theres almost no way he hits his head directly on the dash UNLESS he is facing downward at impact.

The girls got less then what they deserved someone is now dead becasue of them but whatever...


now about marcos story i knew the kid my sel i went to school with his sister the whole accident it self is still a little unclear in my head but I know for a fact the kid was a straight edge kinda kid from what i know atleast. and everyside of the story ive heard so far is pretty much the same taht marcos is posting. my only problem with it is that the family dropped charges but gwinnett county decided that they wanted to continue with the charges to make an example of the kid.

[2.0civic]

yeah thats fucked up on gwinnetts part

[Marcos Ruiz]

Bro you killing me. If you ever sit inside a late model caprice youll see that the seats sit extremely low. You will also see that the dash is almost leveled with your chin.

Yeah and gwinnett sucks. Even though the family didnt press charges Gwinnett county has some type of law that admits the county to press charges and not be voided by a family member or spouse.

[Marcos Ruiz]

End of story. Go jump off a cliff.

[2.0civic]

end of story is you suck at life and you came off saying that these girls didnt deserve what they are getting. Pull your head out of your ass. Yeah, maybe your buddys situation was different but you are retarded. End of story

[Marcos Ruiz]

end of story is I suck at life and you came off saying that these girls did deserve what they are getting. Ill Pull my head out of my ass. Yeah, maybe your buddys situation was different but Im retarded. End of story

Give me a call sometime.
