BUTLER, Pennsylvania (AP). A woman who was drunk when she killed a man in a head-on collision must carry a photograph of the teacher in his coffin as part of her five years of probation, a judge ruled.
Jennifer Langston pleaded guilty in September to vehicular homicide, reckless endangerment and reckless driving.
Prosecutors said Langston was drunk and talking on a cell phone in June 2002 when she crossed the center line and hit a pickup truck carrying Glenn Clark and his pregnant wife, Annette. He died, his wife remains in a coma and their son, born by Caesarean section five months after the crash, is being raised by relatives.
A judge sentenced Langston to 30 days in jail, plus house arrest and probation, and ordered her to carry a picture of Glenn Clark.
But when Clark's mother provided the photo of Clark in a casket, Langston, 27, objected. Her attorney said the "spirit of the agreement" was that the photo be of Clark when he was alive.
"This makes no sense to me. Requiring Jennifer to carry a picture like that defeats the whole purpose if the purpose is to look and remember," said Langston's attorney, Michael Sherman. "Who in their right mind will look at such a picture?"
Butler County Judge George Hancher ruled Tuesday that Langston would have to carry the coffin photo.
Clark's mother, Rosellen Moller, has been unapologetic.
"That's where she put him -- in a casket. That's what she did for him. I'd just shut my mouth if I was her," Moller said.

Spooky! Imagine people going through your wallet and see all of these guys and gals that are your friends. Suddenly, they come across this dead guy in a coffin. That would freak them out.
And she has to carry a picture in her wallet that she can just stick in an unused pocket and never look at? How about she spends the 5 years in solitary confinement with a huge poster of the same pic on all 3 walls of her cell and one on the ceiling?
haha..I like that idea Levonian....that would drive her nuts knowing there no other plain wall to look at....
to that bitch. She made me lose a chance to :buttsex: her.
