Insane, and not in a so-crazy-they-let-you-off sort of way

Woman charged in Facebook-feud fatal crash: Rivals for affection of prison inmate were involved in high-speed chase
A woman who had been feuding with another over a man serving time in prison saw her rival as a passenger in another car and started chasing the car madly through Pontiac, Michigan. She had her three-year-old daughter in the car with her. Police clocked the cars going nearly a hundred miles per hour, and before they could intervene, the car being chased ran a red light and crashed into a dump truck, knocking the truck over. The truck's driver is alright, but the driver of the car being chased--who had nothing to do with the feud--was killed, and the passenger was critically injured. The woman who instigated the chase is being held on charges of second-degree murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm and child abuse.

This is just crazy, and over some loser in prison that neither woman could be with anyway. I hope they throw the book at her; she doesn't need to be out on the streets and she certainly doesn't need to have custody of her daughter.

Thanks to YKWIA for telling me about it.
