You hear how that sounds, right? It’s insane.

These are new laws, and they reflect

What do you suggest we do, Janice?

Plead guilty. Show remorse.

And throw yourself on the mercy of the judge.

No. No way. We’re gonna fight this thing.

There’s video from the party all over the Internet.

That is incontrovertible evidence

that you provided alcohol and that you contributed

to the delinquency of multiple minors.

doesn’t throw the book at you.

for the maximum because of the social-media outcry

Okay.

[ Breathes deeply ]

You can’t cry.

No matter what happens.

’Cause if you cry, then I’ll cry,

and I -- I can’t.

I promise to save my tears for the courthouse bathroom.

Thank you.

You got your statement?

Yeah.

You know, Mr. Cartmel said that they might just

take me right then.

Will you be okay?

I can handle it.

Okay, good. Because I don’t wanna --

I don’t wanna worry about you, too.

Kiddo, you don’t know what worry is.

Wait until you have a kid of your own, and then we’ll talk.

I don’t think I’ll ever have a kid of my own.

We’ll see.

Okay. You ready?

Yeah.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Yeah.

Kim.

Can I have a minute, Mom?

I’ll meet you inside.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing here?

I wanted to see you.

I heard that you and Heather are, like, a thing now.

We’re just kind of seeing each other.

We’re both gonna be in Cali in the fall, so...

Cool. Why are you here?

I, uh...

I just want to say good luck.

So... Good luck.

Thank you.

Kim, wait.

What I’m really here to say is that you were right.

[ Sighs ] About what?

I was a jerk to you that night.

I was too much of a coward

to break up with you to your face, so...

I let things happen with Heather.

I’m sorry I hurt you, Kimberly.

What happened to you and to Joey...

that’s on me, too.

I appreciate that.

Kim?

What are you doing here?

Joey and I wanted to show the judge that we support you.

Joey? What?

Oh, my gosh.

You’re kidding.

Judge: Kimberly Summers, you have pleaded guilty

to serious bodily injury by car.

Before I hand down my sentence,

is there anything you’d like to say for yourself?

Uh, yes, Your Honor.

I made a mistake. [ Sniffles ]

And because of it, I hurt a lot of people that I care about,

not just Joey Portillo,

whose life I irreparably damaged

the night that I hit him while driving drunk,

but also Joey’s family

and his girlfriend, Nikki.

I hurt my mom and the Wright family

and my peers at school.

What happened was terrible,

and I -- I have no excuses to hide behind.

[ Sniffles ]

I’m not asking anyone to take away the guilt

and responsibility that I feel for what I did

because those are things that I deserve to feel

and carry with me for the rest of my life.

I plan on working to pay restitution to Joey

and to help him in any way that I can.

♪

Thank you.

I agree with Miss Summers.

This was a terrible mistake

and one she clearly is already paying for.

But there is a minimum sentence for this crime.

And so, one year in county jail and $2,000 fine,

five years probation,

and no less than 200 hours of community service.

I’m here today to tell you my story.

And to set the kind of example

I wish I would have set for my kids

before this tragedy happened.

If I’d been a smarter parent, I’d have said no to that party.

I would have known

that kids get alcohol more from their parents

than anywhere else.

I would’ve known that every 90 seconds

someone is injured from a drunk-driving crash.

Every 90 seconds.

One choice -- just one -- changed the course of my life

and my friend Joey’s life forever.

And that’s a choice that I made that I’ll have to live with

for the rest of my life.

More than 4,000 people die every year

from underage drunk driving.

And drunk driving will impact

two out of three people during their lifetime.

So if you think that it can’t happen to you, you’re wrong.

The numbers don’t lie.

That’s more than half the people

sitting in this gym right now.

I’m someone’s friend.

I’m someone’s partner.

I’m someone’s daughter.

I’m someone’s mother.

It happened to me.

And it happened to me.
