My brother's first wife was hit and killed by a drunk driver recently. Hence the break in posts as of late.
She was 25 years old. My 5 year old nephew was in the car and ended up needing to have a steel plate put in his hip. He wasn't in a car seat. The thing is, his mom was almost fanatical about putting him in his car seat. However, the night of the accident, my brother had just brought him back from Oklahoma, where he had been visiting my brother and his current wife for the summer. My brother dropped his son off with his mom. But she hadn't expected him that night, so she didn't have the car seat in the car. It was one of the only times she had driven without a car seat and they were just heading back home.
The guy who hit her was drunk, and was driving at 11:30 at night without his headlights on. Worst of all, he had his wife and kids in the car with him. He had no license and no insurance. He and his family all survived.
My question is, what kind of woman let's her drunk husband get behind the wheel with their 2 kids in the car to begin with, let alone allow him to drive without headlights. IMO, she is just as guilty as he is.
He's been charge with 7-8 different things. My mom went to the first hearing, where the guy pretended not to speak english, he told the judge in Spanish, "Just give me my bond". They set the date for that hearing for later. The DA has found out that the guy went to the same High School that I graduated from, Adams City High Scool. Yet he pretends not to speak english. :rolleyes: This clown is a serious flight risk. He was snide and sarcastic during the whole proceeding, he hasn't shown any remorse and he has already tried to decieve the court by pretending not to speak english.
I hope the guy is remanded without bail. He's 25 and probably has relatives down in Mexico. If he makes bail, he's gone!
