In september...jessica ocampo had to deliver that heartbreaking news to her 3-and-10 year old sons...after her husband jesus died from injuries suffered in a motorcycle crash.

She recalls the moment she got the news.

"all of my emotions went straight into my stomach."

Jesus collided with a car driven by antoine webb on georgetown road in september...accord ing to the lexington police collision report.

It states webb was making a u-turn at the time of the collision.

Jessica says her husband was wearing a helmet that came off from the force of the impact.

"when i saw my husband, it didn't even look like my husband...the damage."

Webb wasn't criminally charged in the accident...but he did receive a citation for driving on a suspended license.

Jessica says that's not enough.

"he shouldn't have been behind the wheel and this wouldn't have happened.

How are we going to stop these unlicensed drivers from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle?"

During a conversation jessica shared with me...the prosecutor expressed his sympathy and explained that the circumstances of the accident did not reach the criminal standard required for conviction.

In other words...it was just a tragic accident.

Jessica says the laws need to change...so she plans to protest outside the fayette county courthouse friday.

"we plan to go and change the law because the justice system, the criminal system, is failing me and my boys."

She says she can't heal until then.

"i cannot grieve because i want justice."
