Oklahoma has the death penalty. I think this case may apply. It seems considerable speed had to be involved. That police motorcycle is totally crumpled and they said bodies were flying through the air. We’ll find out in a few days after the investigation is completed. There’s no excuse for a DUI. Three dead and all those wounded at a homecoming parade thanks to one worthless drunk.
police rep gives update on the incident. they gave the same causality count as I quoted earlier. Several emergency responders were in the parade and were able to immediately render aid.
Homecoming was always one of my happiest memories in high school and college. We looked forward to it the entire season. We always had a parade, the game and school dance afterward. Great high school memories.
I feel so terrible for the OSU students, the university and community. OSU has seen tragedy before in 2001. Okies are tough and resilient people. They’ll get through this latest tragedy.
You mean that aceplace57 might have made an incorrect analysis in the midst of his hand-wringing? Well, at least it won’t be any different from most of his other threads.
If you want to kill people and get clean away with it, in America, the motor vehicle is the ideal weapon. George R. Weller killed ten people, maimed dozens more, and never spent a night behind bars.
I have no idea. She deserves the maximum penalty allowed under law, OK enforces the death penalty. Whether it applies is up to the prosecutor. If it doesn’t than hopefully she’ll rot in prison for the rest of her life. I don’t care either way. Just as long as this drunk is held accountable. 10:30 in the morning and she’s already drunk. That tell you anything?
Cars are 3,000 lb machines every bit as lethal as any other weapon. Anyone that drives legally impaired and kills someone deserves the maximum sentence under the law.
I mostly agree, but I would make an exception for extraordinary circumstances. If you’re drinking and you get bitten by a snake, for example, I’m not going to blame you for panicking and trying to drive yourself to a hospital.
three people were killed and 22 were injured
