While I have no dillusions that Attny’s use drugs and alcohol just like people of every other job profession out there, to blame every tragic accident that ever happens on them is incredibly stupid.
I have watched stone cold sober people pull out in front of busses, after they looked right at them and get T Boned... I’ve watched people with genius IQ’s not be able to figure out the fact they put in a battery backwards. I’ve seen sober intelligent people make incredible mistakes, some sadly with very tragic results.
Unfortunately we are all human, and as much as it makes us feel better when we hear about something like this to just blame it on drugs or alcohol or some other thing... the reality is not one of us is free from making a mistake.
In the case of the Lawyer, no, it wasn’t related to alcohol, each of the parents thought the other had the child... it was asleep in the carseat of one of the cars. The parent with the car thought the other parent had the child and had dropped it off... Came out from work at the end of the day to find the child dead.
Its tragic, but it does happen, and no, drugs or alcohol do not need to be involved for something like this to happen.
We can be thankful that there are so many perfect people posting on this thread.
