Whatever happened to ‘failure to maintain lane or failure to maintain control of vehicle? This appears wacky to me. Can we say “Time to change prosecutor’s boys and girls?” One can still sue. Getting a judgment paid is another thing.

@Bewildered 3 beers in 3 hours is what was stated and no time frame was given from when he finished the last beer until he got in the vehicle. Depending on his weight and the time frame, there was likely plenty of time for 3 beers in 3 hours to leave his system before getting behind the wheel. I am definitely not defending the man, as he clearly drifted onto the sidewalk, but it doesn’t seem as that drift was the cause of alcohol in his system.

Just because the state is not going after him doesn’t mean the family can’t sue him for wrongful death.

@saturngal I’m sure they will make a case for just a standard manslaughter charge and go after him. The courts and prosecutions are slow because we have so many repeat offenders because nobody ever gets a good punishment or high enough bail.

Whether drunk or sober he still “drifted” onto the sidewalk where he should not be, and killed that young man. How there are not some type of charges is beyond me, and what type of precedence is this setting when you can drive your vehicle off the road, kill someone and then face no consequences. Either there is a whole lot more to the story, or someone just got away with murder.

So he runs off the road and kills someone , that seems reckless to me.

Your body processes about 1 drink per hour. If you start at noon and end at 2PM and get tested at 3pm your blood alcohol level should be near zero. (Beer at noon, 1, and 2pm)

This is odd – by his own admission he had drank 3 beers. This does not indicate he was impaired while driving – but how could the tests show zero alcohol in his system?
