He has been charged with murder.
His black box in his car showed he was travelling at 70mph without braking when he hit the car.
I thought beyond 0.41% was lethal.
"I thought beyond 0.41% was lethal."
In this case it was. X 3
terrible news.
He's probably been a lush for so long that he's built up a tolerance. Kind of like how Rasputin was able to survive lethal doses of arsenic--he'd been taking gradually increasing doses for years.
He started drinking in Traverse City, almost 250 miles away from the accident. Twelve hours later his blood alcohol level was still over .2!
well I thought anything over .30 is toxic but I think we had a native person who blew in the .40 range around town
usually then you are dealing with an alcoholic whose system is used to that much booze......
Here's hoping he's still drunk when his attorney asks if he wants a jury trial. It's because of judges murdering drunks are returned to our streets. Stricter sentencing with prison time and our children will be safer.
Sam was my son's best friend. He lived a few doors down and had a wonderful intensity to life. Sam was a fantastic athlete that could take on kids a foot and 1/2 taller than he was.
Mr Wellinger's son played on my son's tennis team a couple year's ago.
This has ripped apart a community and devasted what's left of the victim's families.
The Wellinger children are victims, the playmates of the Weinstein boys are victims, and most of all, Mr. Weinstein who spent the day planting trees in honor of his family today is a victim.
We have proven - as a society - we cannot solve the Drunken Driving problem. The government should take over now. They forced elaborate sensors and algorithms on our vehicles to meet the California Air Resource Board mandates.. now its time to mandate a "Vehicle Ethanol Sensor" that disables the starting of a vehicle.
I've heard enough stupid excuses against this. An algorithm that includes safety overrides can be developed ... How many more 9 yr. olds need to be thrown 20 feet and still try to hang onto life before someone steps in.
Even Bob Probert was "only" at a .31 when he wrecked at the end of his career with the Red Wings.
