The Issue
On June 22, 2012, my 24 year old nephew was killed by a drunk driver. We understand and accept the fact that he was partially to blame for the decisions and actions he made that night, as he too was intoxicated, but chose to walk home, and he paid the ultimate price for his decisions with his life. 48 days later we find out that the woman who, by her own admission, was behind the wheel of her car that night, she saw him lying in the road, but ran over him any way, and then went home! She had also been drinking, but chose to drive. She is only being charged with a traffic infraction, driving while ability impaired! If she is being prosecuted per the law, then what about the drinking & driving? What about the leaving the scene of a hit & run and not reporting it? What about the Alco Sensor test that was administered at some point that morning where she blew a .094, which is above the legal limie, and was allowed to go home anyway? What about the two additional field sobriety tests that she failed but the cops felt that she was just shaken up due to the fact that she had just killed someone, and let her go home? What about when she finally went to have the blood alcohol level test done, some four hours, possibly more, later that day, that her alcohol level was a .07, just under the legal limit! Now I don't know about you, but let's say a person burns off .015 of alcohol from their system per hour, I would have to agree that she was driving drunk, per the law! Our laws need to be seriously changed! The person partially responsible for my nephew's death is literally free to drink and drive again! My nephew's life was worth more than a traffic infraction!
