Finger nails kill...

Women painting nails before crash found guilty :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago Crime

Though Lora Hunt insisted she wasn't painting her fingernails when she hit and killed motorcyclist Anita Zaffke, a Lake County jury Thursday convicted her of reckless homicide in the 2009 crash.

The guilty verdict left the 48-year-old Hunt in tears and brought little comfort to Zaffke's relatives, who were in the Waukegan courtroom.

"Swear to God, I was NOT doing my finger nails, dammit! They were drying so, I started on my toes when I felt a little bump, made me smear, too, so, I am a victim here as well!!!"
