"Alleged drunk driver Sheba Basabose now facing aggravated vehicular homicide charges for running over and killing child on October 8th"...well, heck, THAT took long enough!

Oldman, She was charged when she hit the kid. The delay would come because her case is probably just now getting to the grand jury for the decision to indict her. With some of the backlogs I could see where there would be a delay. They probably needed to make sure the blood/alcohol content was sufficient to have a good case. I'd hate to see her walk because something was missed.

UPDATE THE STORY FROM OCT 8, 2 WEEKS AGO. AND YOU BRING THE COMMENTS FROM THEN FORWARD TO THIS TOTALLY DIFFERENT ARTICLE? THERE ARE ONLY 2 (TWO) COMMENTS FROM TODAY'S UPDATED ARTICLE. YOU GUYS SHOULD READ SOME OF THE OTHER LOCAL NEWS STATIONS BLOGS. One thing I like that they will do (in times like these) is add links from previous articles in the new article. another thing I like is on one blog they allow comments in reply to a comment once it is posted.

just now being charged. what the hellis this.

This woman is a menace to society. Lock her up for a very long time. She apparently had nothing better to do than stay out all night drinking. Probably doesn't work, sleeps all day. I say that but I really don't know if that's the case. Wonder why they haven't posted her picture in the paper, afraid someone to give her a good but.... whipping? Maybe. This little boy's mom was working hard, and taking care of her kids. A good mom. A caring mom. She was trying to make a life for her family, more than I can say for a lot of people. Hang in there, mom, things will get better at some point. Thoughts and prayers to you.

I know this family personally. And believe me she did NOTHING to deserve this. She was being responsible, taking care of her children, taking them to the babysitter before she went to work. Never in a million years would anyone ever think walking on a city sidewalk at whatever time would put her and her babies at risk for being ran over by a drunk driver. Please help by donating to the memorial fund set-up at Fifth Third Bank as well as prayers. Ask for the Jocelyn Austin or Rodriguez Austin-Taylor Fund.

Please pray for my family these are my cousins. I always see this stuff on tv, and now our entire family is grieving for the life of our baby cousin and praying for Joceyln's Strength. Please dont let anyone you know drink and drive.

To zookeeper. I am not justifying that what she did is right. She is a murderer I just feel bad for what she has put her own family thru. She will have to live with this for the rest of her life. I hope she gets locked up for a long time. Everyone makes mistakes in their lives unless you're perfect u can not judge someone elses mistakes. Almost everyone has driven buzzed at some point in their young lives and thought they were perfectly fine to drive. I don't support DUI at all and hope everyone who does it gets caught. Unfortunatly this one was tragic. My heart goes out to both families and may God bless that baby and his mommy.

rosey red: I'll take your challenge. My oldest daughter is the answer to that question.

@vinachey23, you have my sincerest condolences in the loss of your child three years ago. If I may, I'm sending you a long distance hug.
