I wouldn't consider hit-and-runs etc. as meriting an article either, that's why I said I wasn't sure there was *any* significant events. So you're suggesting the "single event" is her being hired by the foundation?
Yes, it's the only thing that might force us to catalog the appalling events of this person's life in an encyclopedia. We're not Facebook. Being in Wikipedia can *hurt*, it can *kill*.
And so can *not* being in Wikipedia.
I'm sorry, the idea that Wikipedia shouldn't include information about people convicted of serious crimes (*) because it might hurt their feelings doesn't strike me as valid. Unless, I guess, you're suggesting that Wikipedia shouldn't have biographies about anyone at all.
(*) Don't bring up some strawman about victimless or petty crimes. We're talking about someone who recklessly caused the death of one person and who intentionally shot another in the chest.
