that middle name
A drunk who kills innocent people. Look at those eyes. He looks drunk at the time. And what's going on with those ears?
“Her DUI manslaughter charge will be amended to a DUI, the sheriff’s office said.”

I’m sure that I’m not the first person to ask, how can she be charged with DUI if she was not driving? Isn’t a DUI charge a “Driving Under the Influence” charge. She was a victim. It matters not that she was under the influence of alcohol, because she was in the passenger’s seat. Are not people told to have a “designated driver”? If the driver convinced her he was competent enough to drive (men will do that—I live with one), she should not be guilty of his actions.
(Full disclaimer: Hubby lost the taste for alcohol about 25 years ago and just stopped drinking. He made no conscious decision to do so, but suddenly decided he preferred tea or water. Prior to that, he could drink the best of us under the table).
I would think a competent attorney can get all charges against her dropped.
This is just grossly unjust in so many ways:
1. LE now claims she was just a drunken passenger. There is no law against this, but she must defend herself against the DUI charge, which LE admits is false. She should get back her attorney fees, plus the cost of the bail bond she had to post.
2. Her bail was $20k, but his bail is now $50k for exactly the same crime. This is the V card in action.
“The Liquid Therapy Bar”
Love the name..
Given: A case where cops find contraband in person #1’s coat. Person #1 was walking with person #2. Persons #1 and #2 were wearing identical coats. The DA charges person #1 with possession in spite of the fact that he claims that he and person #2 had grabbed each other’s coats by mistake. The DA then charges person #2 with possession, and asks the judge to try them together in hopes that a jury will insist that one of them will be convicted.
