Chan said his duty was to balance the deaths with the other factors of the case, including Lau’s age, her lack of criminal history and her remorse, as well as the fact that her own husband had died in a car accident early on in their marriage.
None of this would matter in a just society.
He said that in the hospital after the crash, Lau tearfully told medical staff she wished she could trade places with the family.
“Mrs. Lau is going to spend the rest of her days living with the knowledge of the harm she has caused to others,” he said. Chan indicated his sentence, which will be confirmed at a subsequent hearing, would likely be two to three years of probation, during which time Lau would be prohibited from driving.
A whole 2-3 year probation for plowing down a family of 4 because she’s clearly too incompetent to drive….
In July 2024, the surviving parents of Cardoso de Oliveira and Ramos Pinto filed a wrongful death civil suit against Lau. In May 2025, the relatives filed another civil lawsuit, this time asking a judge to void alleged financial transfers that Lau made after the first civil lawsuit was filed.
Grandma Ching Chong was so remorseful that she moved all her financial assets to avoid civil suit…
Survivors of the slain family accused Lau of transferring her ownership interest in several properties to new limited liability companies and selling properties to third-parties, including her son-in-law, transferring millions of dollars to avoid potential financial penalties from the civil suit.
So remorseful….
On Friday, realizing that Chan was considering a sentence that did not include prison time for Lau, the siblings of the two deceased parents pleaded for Lau to be ordered to home detention and “meaningful” community service. They also asked the judge to consider revoking her driver’s license.
Lau’s attorney, Seth Morris, said there was a tendency in criminal court for all parties “to become adversaries.”
“Mrs. Lau has expressed remorse repeatedly,” said Morris. “She had to seek psychiatric help.”
Lau dabbed her eyes with a tissue as Morris and a court Cantonese interpreter advised Lau on her rights and entered the no-contest plea.
On top of all of this THE STUPID BITCH DOESNT EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH.
In a just world, one of the victims' loved one will eliminate her and track that hidden money down. Not that they should do that. Just that's what a just world would look like.
