Such a sad story. RIP to those in the accident today.
Yes thoughts and prayers to all involved. If the news is correct and the driver did have a prior DUI conviction, he will most likely charged with multiple counts of murder.
What do you think his sentence will be? Can he be given the death penalty?Quote:

And if there is one thing I’ve learned in all my years — and I haven’t learned much — but the one thing I’ve learned: Don’t even waste your time trying to figure out life. Ground ball through for Andre Ethier, and life continues for those who still have it. And with a leadoff single, Russell Martin will be coming up. But I would say, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a moment and say a prayer in memory for Nick, especially for his parents. What a shock to lose a twenty-two-year-old. Andre Ethier at first base, Russell Martin the batter, James Loney on deck, and the Dodgers try to strike in the second inning against Kevin Correia.”

Not likely since there are no special circumstances involved.Quote:

You would think it would be pretty cut and dry that he was drunk, driving on a suspended license due to a prior DUI, he ran a red light and smashed into a car and then fled the scene.Quote:

Have I mentioned I love Vin Scully?

Basically saying I had no probable cause to stop her, thus it was an illegal detention and an illegal arrest. Of course that was an outright lie but the DA could not prove otherwise that I was not lying. Because of this the case was dismissed. The driver was very drunk and provided a > .08% blood sample but none the less the case was dismissed.Quote:

Thanks SloMo for the details. 10-15 years though, that's amateur stuff for a douche bag like him. =\Quote:
