“The defense indicates [Linton] has been subject to involuntary commitments on several occasions and has hurt herself more than once.”

According to the Los Angeles Times, authorities said they haven’t found any evidence that Linton was under the influence of alcohol. However, prosecutors did find that Linton was in 13 prior crashes. Linton’s lawyers denied reports that she had previously been involved in 13 crashes. Her next hearing is August 31st.

They believe that her history of being involved in dangerous crashes, proves she knew exactly what she was doing when driving 90mph before killing 5 people and an 8 1/2 month old fetus.

The 37-year-old nurse from Houston ran a red light and plowed her speeding Mercedes through a busy intersection in Windsor Hills causing a deadly crash. Six people were killed in the violent wreck at the intersection of S. La Brea Avenue and Slauson Avenue.
