Feb 2013

I feel horribly for the victims family. The woman that died was young and still had so much of her life ahead of her.

When I was married to my ex-wife, her brother (who was a chronic alcoholic and had DUIs in two states) was driving one night with is girlfriend going 70+ mph on a curvy road and wrapped his car around a telephone pole and killed her. I happened to be home when he called his sister from jail. He was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in prison. It is an absolutely senseless thing to do. Personally I never met him so I knew very little other than what I heard through her family.
