The driver, who has survived, may face Criminal Charges.
My wife, who hears things from fellow teachers whose spouses are cops in a small town, says that the boy was doing about 100 mph.
He is still hospitalized. There have been death threats phoned in to the hospital against this young man. There are guards outside of his room.
No good will come of this.20 years ago it’d have been a tragic wreck, now he faces vehicular manslaughter. 3 counts. 25- life if convicted. What good this will do completely escapes me. Does this bring back the victims? It does not.
My wife is attending a double funeral tomorrow; two best friends died in the same instant and will be buried next to each other. The families will plant trees and set a stone bench aside the burial plots, so people can sit by the graves.
I personally hope that the young man is not prosecuted for anything. HIS best friend died as well. He will live with the mental anguish of this for the rest of his life. Incarceration will do nothing to ameliorate the familial losses.
Awful.
