Driver who killed 3 says she wasn't drunk but can't remember crash
http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/local/scn-sa- coccomo2feb03,0,6108754.story?track=rss Driver in triple fatal: 'I wasn't drunk' By Zach Lowe - Staff Writer Published February 3 2007 STAMFORD - A former second-grade teacher testified yesterday she couldn't remember the 2005 car accident that killed three people but is certain she wasn't drunk at the time. "I know I wasn't drunk," said Tricia Coccomo, 33, testified at state Superior Court. "I know I had a couple of drinks." Coccomo faces more than 60 years in prison for allegedly driving drunk, crossing over to the wrong side of Long Ridge Road and smashing head-on into a convertible, killing all three people inside. The driver of the convertible, 72-year-old James Inverno, died instantly. His wife, Barbara, 58, and their back seat passenger, 23-year-old Glenn Shelley, died hours later. Coccomo likely ensured her conviction on two minor charges when she admitted on the stand she had a marijuana cigarette and a loose prescription painkiller in her purse at the time of the accident. She could be convicted of six other charges, including three counts of second-degree manslaughter, even if the jury believes she was sober at the time of the crash. Blood tests revealed Coccomo's blood-alcohol level was 0.20, above the legal limit of 0.08. (snip) |

So what's the issue? -- Thus, if the problem of technological hopelessness is caused by absence of care, both by technologists and anti-technologists; and if care and Quality are external and internal aspects of the same thing, then it follows that what really causes technological hopelessness is absence of the perception of Quality in technologists and anti-technologists.
