In my opinion Lindy is innocent as police could not find any evidence to prove that she murdered her daughter (Azaria). She did a big mistake by leaving her baby on the risk of death due to her negligence, but still she did not kill her.  I feel sorry for her because she spent a really hard time when she lost her baby and her freedom.
Can she be rehabilitate?
I think that she can rehabilitate because she is innocent.
What went wrong?
The worse thing with this case is to put lindy in the jail for a long time and she suffered a lot for no reason as she was innocent. I think that the police failed in performing their duty in protecting people.

EFS Assessment Task 5 - Pedestrian Rights

Rights:
Pedestrians are a broad group of people range from joggers, seniors, children and people who use mobility aids. Therefore those people have the right of safe crossing, share the road with car drivers and the right of way (this means that a driver has to give way to pedestrians at crossings, and intersections). Pedestrians have the right of passing through crossing lines therefore drivers should not precede until the crossing is completely clear. Furthermore a pedestrian refuge allows the pedestrians to cross the road in 2 stages using an island in the middle of the road, drivers should be careful when approaching these points. Children’s crossings operate before and after school which are managed by a school crossing supervisors holding a sign saying “STOP Children crossing.” Drivers must slow down and stop while they cross. Moreover  pedestrians have the right of crossing throw shared zone (it is an area where pedestrians, bicycle riders and other vehicles all share the road usually in shopping areas, parks or tourist attractions). Drivers must always slow down for pedestrians in those points if necessary to avoid a collision.

Responsibilities:
Pedestrian are responsible to protect themselves by waiting for the crossing green light. Drivers have a right of way when it comes to pedestrian refugee islands; therefore it is very important to pay attention to the traffic. As a pedestrian, you should always find out more information about traffic rules and signals so you know what you should do in different situations, approach the crossing slowly, look both left and right for any approaching cars Before crossing the road, and think about whether the driver can see you. There are penalties which apply if a pedestrian causes a traffic accident. In addition, any pedestrian cross the road without using a crossing could be fined.
