Seven years is a long time. She will still be young and hopefully will be able to rehabilitate herself and maybe help others... only time will tell...
And yes, I know that the person she killed will not get that time, but some good, even a little, can still come out of this tragedy.

She should be doing a heck of a lot more than 7 years.
So she will get out and no doubt get drunk again. She didn't learn her lesson this time. What makes anyone think she will learn anything while in prison?

Actually that is a bit surprising, I thought maby 2 years.

She got 7 years according to WTMJ.

little81, you're post is exactly what is wrong with society today. It's "me Me ME". Selfishness, greed, and no accountability.

littlelittle81-How dumb do you have to be to spell "the", "tha". After reading your entire post I answered my own question.

Sentencing at 9:00 today. Come on Gazette, where is the update?

ok people..yall need to stop bein so mean..you think krystal is bad..your tha bad ones sayin tha stuff you do..specially when u dont know her..she is young and is sorry for what she did..yeah she messed up killed someone and messed up after that..then maybe you should blame who made alcohol legal..no one is perfect..u people sure aint..and for tha guy she killed he was doin somethin illegal too he is an immigrant..yeah its sad tha accident killed him..but think bout how she feels ok..not only is his life over but soo is hers and it has not even begun..try bein her and havin that on your shoulders that you were bein a teenager and partyin and knowin you killed someone over it..

We All Make Mistakes. Too bad for her that she didn't learn from the horrible mistake of Homicide by DUI. Possibly, if she had not gone back to drinking again her sentence would have been lighter and even perhaps tried in Juvenille court. Either this girl is in denial about her drinking or the accident that she caused effected her to the point of no return.
I don't condone what she did, but due to her age, I hope she gets help and learns from this.

nice photo editing to put that little tear in her eye.

Three words: Spoiled. Little. BRAT!

funny thing, karma is. Until someone drives under the influence and kills or seriously hurts one of those she claims she loves - she won't care. All she cares about is that she's free. She can plan for the next party. She can kiss her boyfriend, etc. Too bad her victim's family has to keep struggling financially, grieve their loss, and can never kiss him again. Selfish little girl. A rough upbringing is an EXCUSE, not a REASON.

Ahh, it does appear she is not remorseful. It's a shame... hopefully one day she will be able to fully understand the seriousness of what she has done. Hopefully some day she will be remorseful.

the spoiled little girl whose parents seem to be absent when it matters most should make her myspace less about her-her-her and more about why you DON'T want to be like her.

Nice, she can have a MySpace page, go out and party. Working two jobs (because she's expensive) that means high-maintenance...What's her victim's family doing?
Oh, grieving. I forgot.

Nope couldn't find one.

There is not one word about that man or his family on her page. Not even anything mentioned in her comments around the time of the accident. All her pictures on there are happy picture of her with her friends. It makes me sick. I wonder if there is a page for him somewhere. I'm gonna look!

Oh and put her mug shotS as her profile picture on her regular MySpace page too.

She should have to make a MySpace page dedicated to the man she killed. Then Post pictures of him and all his loved ones. And say, "this is the man I killed". I hope his family can forgive me someday.......

Where are her parents? If I remember correctly, the first time she was caught at a party her parents were out of town...where were they this last time? Are you serious about her myspace page? I hope the judge will make an example out of her!! In my opinion this case has taken way too long!! She killed a man...drinking and caught twice since then...who knows how many times she has been out driving and drinking that she did not get caught??!! Sentence her and give the victims family some flippin closure!! Just my opinion.

She doesn't feel any remorse. She just wants a smaller sentence, even if that means she has to plea. Lord forbid she goes without her myspace!

I hope that she pleaded guilty because she realized that she was in the wrong, and not just to get a lower sentence. If she really does feel remorse, then I can forgive her. I am glad, if that is the case, that she has realized the errors of her ways. Hopefully she will not return to such activity.

very good point kid. NO one ever looks at alcohol as a drug. I always asked: if I consume so much alcohol, and I completely black out and don't remember ANYTHING the next day: how is this legal? How many people are killed every year by drunk drivers? How many fights occur because of people being drunk? Now alcohol makes you violent, black out and do stuff you would NEVER normally do: and this is legal huh?

nurse, I dont care if its how it works, thats how it SHOULD BE.

rite llund. we read story after story about what this MAN MADE POISON does to our society while we discuss on other blogs about the medical value of marijuana, distribution of marijuana, possession of marijuana, manufacturing of marijuana, and NEVER the carnage of marijuana...cuz it just doesnt exist. if this were drug A and drug B my guess is drug B would be chosen by the majority in a blind taste test:)

ACCOUNTABILITY! Is such a rare thing these days. It's a shame it has to come down to an innocent man losing his life before the "accountability" factor kicks in though.

"If you have hurt me, chances are I will never forgive you and that's your fault."


Yet she doesn't want to take responsibility for KILLING SOMEONE??? Sorry, but "taking someone's boyfriend" is NOTHING compared to what she did! Nice to know what her priorities are....

My family & my boyfriend & my friends are my life, I love them all to death. People think that they have a clue about my life, when they don’t know anything. I really hate when people judge me. I’m not into the whole party scene. I don’t open up anymore to anyone, only if I truly think you are worth it. If you have hurt me, chances are I will never forgive you and that's your fault. I think it is exceedingly wrong to hook up with your friends boyfriend.

~'I'm not into the whole party scene??????????? That's why you've been arrested for drinking.....three times? This girl needs some serious help. I can think of a whole family that will never forgive her for hurting them. This girl is something else!

I find it interesting that her friends comments on her myspace thought it was "lame" she could not got to Prom or whatever dance because she was on house arrest. Seems her little friends don't get it either. How very sad.

Wow, and alcohol is legal?

Wow crazy story, you would think she would learn but apparently not huh?

"I have a lot going on in my personal life, but it doesn’t stop me from striving to be the best I can be, academically and as a person. I’m very eager to move on with my life and get into a good college. I still want to stay around here since I’m incredibly close to my family. I waitress at Evergreen Golf course in Elkhorn on the weekends and I’m currently looking for another part time job. I like to make my own spending money therefore I have to have 2 jobs. (I’m expensive) I want to be an independent successful person in the future and overcome my past. I hope to find a career that I love and enjoy doing every day. I will always do my utmost to keep the friends I have and love. I’m lucky that I have an amazing boyfriend of two years that has been through thick and thin with me, I try my hardest everyday to keep our relationship strong."

-Krystal Hart's myspace page.


Sorry but I was expecting something like "Hi, I am a murderer. If you see me driving towards you... RUN!"

Her myspace page is pretty interesting..

I also think it should be 1st degree homicide. Murder is murder and this little girl obviously doesn't care who she hurts while she is out having a good time! Lock her up!

That's not how it works.

Kill while driving drunk, then you should be charged with 1st degree homicide.

It is true that Walworth County has some of the most strict penalities anywhere in the state. BUT I have seen where if you have a connected family and money you can get your cases thrown out. HHmm. MAkes one wonder doesn't it?

She pleaded guilty on the condition that she could update her MySpace page whilst in the stripey hole.

I'd be more inclined to believe her lawyer told her "you'd better plead out", a trial by jury could be worse. She'll get off with a light sentence by pleading guilty.

She needs to stay behind bars... she's already shown she has NO regard for the law.

Just following in Daddy's footsteps???

This young woman ruined many lives, including her own.

I agree about the fake tears,poor me,make some up for bubbet.

This little missy doesn't care about anything. She has no respect for the family of her victim, no respect for the law, nothing. If she had, she would have been off the street and not drinking again after being arrested for killing someone. They put a her teary-eyed picture up...sorry, save your tears for someone who cares.

Just another drunkin LLLLLLLLLLLLoser! These plea deals are bull crap,you do the crime,you should do the "FULL" time,i know jails are crowded,so put our lives at risk sooner.

Hmmm I didn't think about a plea deal so maybe she wasn't stepping up and being adult...

Wow. I must say I was surprised to see that she pleaded guilty. From previous stories it looked as if she was going the not guilty route. Granted with our slack drunk driving laws she may not serve alot of time I have to commend her for stepping up and being an adult and admitting her guilt. She is holding herself responsible for her actions and taking the consequences of them. You don't see that much anymore with youth. (well with alot of people but youth tend to play things off as I am a minor and can't do anything to me, etc..)

I know of the Hispanic gentleman she killed in this accident, but when did she kill another?

She wouldn't have plead guilty if a deal hadn't been worked out so actually Evilhousewife is probably pretty close on the sentencing. The worse case scenario is they let her out on January 30th with the time she has served, around 4-1/2 months by the sentencing date?

Well, she's cute and has permissive parents, not to mention she only killed a pair of hispanics ( NOTE: I am not racist, I think the Justice system is...I AM BEING SARCASTIC) So ...
I predict a year in jail on work release and five years probation. Oh, and since it was a first offense, she'll have her occupational license in six months. That'll show her!
If I were the judge, it's be be 20 years in lockdown and ten years no license after that. If she has been alcohol free for thirty years, maybe I;d be inclined to give her another chance, but for now, she's not ready.
