很多人应该还记得去年夏天的一则新闻,美国华盛顿州一名18岁的少女在户外游玩时把朋友从高桥上推下水,导致这位16岁的好友全身多处受伤骨折。

随后外媒报道,推人者被控鲁莽危害罪(reckless endangerment),或将面临最高1年的监禁及5000美元的罚金。

消息一出,很多网友质疑这到底是真朋友吗?这种恶作剧判一年也嫌少。

然而前两天的判决结果出来却让网友目瞪口呆——推人者被判入狱2天。

A teenager who pleaded guilty to pushing her younger friend off a 60-foot bridge in Washington was sentenced to two days in jail.一少女承认将她朋友从华盛顿一座60英尺(约18米)高的桥上推下水,被判处两天监禁。Taylor Smith, 19, was also ordered to spend 38 days on a work crew after pleading guilty earlier this month to reckless endangerment for shoving Jordan Holgerson, 17, off a bridge in Moulton Falls Regional Park on Aug. 7. Smith must also pay a fine of $300 and have no contact with Holgerson for two years.去年8月7日(现年)19岁的泰勒·史密斯在莫尔顿瀑布地区公园一座桥上把(现年)17岁的乔丹·霍格森推下水。本月早些时候,史密斯被判鲁莽危害罪,同时也被勒令做38天的社会服务。同时她还需交300美元罚款,且两年之内不得再与乔丹有任何联系。

福克斯新闻的一位记者披露,检方甚至未提出让史密斯入狱服刑的要求:
法官判处两天监禁真是出乎意料的转折。事实上,检察官甚至没有要求入狱——他们要求史密斯在家中监禁两个月。
看到仅仅入狱两天的判决,网友纷纷不平起来:
这就完事了?
啥???2天?要是个不同种族的人不知道结果怎样??2天简直是开玩笑呢!
这种蓄意谋杀居然只判两天?!
2天?太荒谬了!应该蹲久一些!
霍格森及其家人和朋友在听到判决之后也露出了失望的表情。

霍格森在法庭陈述时一度哽咽,她说这个所谓的好朋友让她的生活跌入谷底,自己受伤以来不但身体备受折磨,心里也十分煎熬。
“This nightmare started for me when I was falling through the air — and I was really terrified,” Holgerson wrote. “When I was being pulled from the water, I thought: ‘I’m going to die.’ I couldn’t breathe and I was watching my body change color by the second.”“对我来说,掉下去的那一刻,这场噩梦就开始了-我真的很害怕。”霍格森(在陈述书中)写道,“当我从水中被救出来的时候,我以为:‘我要死了。’我无法呼吸,看到我的身体瞬间变色了。”“I couldn’t shower by myself, couldn’t use the bathroom by myself — I could barely even walk,” she said in her notes. “Once I left the hospital, I was left with pain…To this day my ribs have healed, but I still get pain and discomfort in that area. I also can’t play my desired position for softball because my arm…I always wanted to play college softball but now I may not get that chance.”“我不能独自洗澡,不能独自上厕所——甚至连路都走不了,”她在陈述书中说。“虽然我出院了,但疼痛依然伴随着我…直到今天我的肋骨已经愈合,但我仍觉得那儿有些不舒服。由于手臂受伤,我也不能打垒球了…我一直想上大学后打垒球,但现在可能没有那个机会了。”Holgerson wrote that “even though it happened last summer” she still can’t sleep at night “because of PTSD and insomnia.”霍格森写道“即使事故是去年夏天发生的”,但“因为患上创伤后应激障碍和失眠症”,至今她晚上都难以入睡。“I have these anxiety attacks that are so bad that my body feels like it’s shutting down and I feel like I’m going to die,” the teen said. “This has taken over my life and limited the things I can do without having an attack.”“如今焦虑发作起来也很严重,我都能感到身体似乎停止了运作,感觉快要死了,”霍格森说。“这种情况发生的次数太多,以至于我的生活严重受到影响。”

据报道,霍格森当时是腹部朝下直接拍打在水面上。事故导致她多根肋骨骨折,肺被刺穿,全身遍布淤伤。

霍格森说事故发生后最让她失望的是泰勒既不承认她做错了,也没有向她道过歉。
而史密斯却不这么认为,她承认自己的确把霍格森推下水了,但目的是要帮她克服恐惧,而不是要故意伤害她。
During an interview with "Good Morning America" last August, Smith claimed Holgerson had asked her to give a push while on the bridge. "I didn't think about the consequences," Smith said. "I thought she'd be fine."去年8月,史密斯在接受“早安美国”采访时声称,在桥上时是霍格森让她推一把的。“我没有想到后果,”史密斯说。“我以为她会没事的。”

霍格森的妈妈在法庭上也发言举证,表示她并不认为史密斯有任何悔过之意,当初把自己女儿推下水后,史密斯都没有下去看看她到底怎么样了,而是匆忙离开现场。
“After Taylor pushed her, she did not rush down to see if Jordan was OK, she left the scene,” Genelle Holgerson said. “She did not show up at the hospital to check on Jordan. She did not stop by our home to see if she was OK or in any other way act like a friend.”“她把我女儿推下水之后,没有赶紧下去看看她有没有事,而是离开了现场,”盖内尔·霍格森说。“她没有去医院探望她,也没有来我们家看看她怎么样了,毫无朋友之间该有的任何关心。”

不知道如今霍格森和史密斯再看到这张昔日闺蜜合照时会作何感想。
