Re: Woman Found Guilty in 'Windshield' Case

[Diachrome@xxxxxxx]

The same thing happened to my 60 year old neighbor 2 years ago.   A drunk hit 
him as he was walking across the street at the entrance to a highway on ramp. 
  The drunk drove down the highway at 75mph with my neighbor sticking part 
way out the windshield while his feet hung over the sunroof for 2 miles. The 
drunk took the next exit and tried to toss my neighbor beside some dumpsters then 
acted like he was helping the guy when he saw witnesses. My neighbor died on 
the way to the hospital. 

His wife who was mentally disabled was placed in a county home and his house 
and all his property was repossessed by the bank leaving his children with 
nothing.

The A-hole drunk on the otherhand was convicted of his second murder by 
vehicle while drunk in 10 years.   He was out of prison for killing my neighbor in 
13 months.

Harp content:
I'll quit harpin' on the subject for now.   He was a damn good neighbor for 
21 years.
