I was in that car that night. The young man killed was my nephew. Today is six years later. Hawthorn is in prison. We are are all still picking up the pieces of our shattered lives. If you’re gonna get high, stay where you are. Nothing will bring our boy back. No amount of hatred for Hawthorn is gonna change that night. And, no prison sentence is a worthy exchange, for what he did. Glad to see here he didn’t get to drag us through another trial over a technicality.

Melvin, by his own choosing, has no redeemable value. He killed an innocent person at a time when he should have been in prison. No mercy. He should have been executed.

He was even out of prison from his last time for a day before he did this shouldn’t even get to waste our tax payer money on a appeal but atleast he wont be out again for a long time if at all.

Duh! The courts start letting all of these impaired drivers off for whatever they chose to put in their bodies and then drive, it will be open season on all drivers obeying the law. This guy is used to getting off, he is never at fault, or he wouldn’t have been on the road that day. This playing the system makes me ill.
