Guy Wins $10M in Lottery - 4 years later drives drunk and kills 3 - 17 years prison
I'm amazed. People with that kind of money can burn down an orphanage and avoid prison. Does San Bernardino actually have an honest judge? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26237426/ Lottery winner goes to prison for deadly crash Man won $10 million in 2001, gets 17 years for driving drunk; 3 killed updated 11:29 a.m. MT, Sat., Aug. 16, 2008 SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - A man who won $10 million in a California lottery game was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison for a drunken-driving crash that killed three people. Thomas Turnour pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and causing injury while driving intoxicated. The winner of a SuperLotto game in 2001 was sentenced Friday in San Bernardino. The 52-year-old man from Victorville was driving a pickup that hit a car stopped at a red light in San Bernardino three years ago, authorities say. Three people inside the first car died. His attorney said Turnour essentially "turned over everything he has" to settle a lawsuit filed by the victims' families. |

Huh. You push for prison time for killing-by-DUI and question the integrity of a judge who does just what you recommend? Looks like you need a break from the confusion. Might I recommend sunbathing in Antarctica? I hear it's PERFECT this time of year. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

I hear it's PERFECT this time of year. > ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** What I don't understand is why anyone with what clearly is f-you money wouldn't simply hire a driver if he wanted to get drunk. "I couldn't afford it" shouldn't have applied in this case. Of course, I just don't understand rich people. I was actually having this discussion over dinner tonight. Let's say you release a hit record, win the lottery, whatever. All of a sudden you have a couple mil in your lap. Why not just sock away 3 or 4 mil, invest it in something with a steady rate of return, and live modestly off the interest while you figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life? Then if you still have money left over, you can think about the fast cars, mansions on the beach, etc. Nah, that would make too much sense. I'm thinking maybe I should just start a new business. If you find yourself newly rich and want to make sure you don't end up being the next Amy Winehouse, simply hire me. I'll be the guy that tells you the **** you need to hear but your friends won't tell you because they're afraid you'll cut them off and then they won't get invited to all your bumpin parties anymore. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

BTW, have you gotten those tires fixed yet, killer? -- S&DDAM admits to putting others in danger with its beater (gramatical errors left as is): "Foot pumps are a joke. I had one once and since the piston only moves like 2 inches it took 50 pumps to raise the pressure by one psi. Go with the hand pumps where the piston moves around 15 inches.

Retarded crap flushed. What amazes me is that your dumb ass can't read. The article states that the guy was sentenced to "more than 17 years in prison" and yet you're asking how he avoided prison. How did you make it through 12 years of school without attending a single day? |

Ref:http://www.ytedk.com/chapter2.htm Kennedy's statement to the police the morning after he sank Mary Jo into Chappaquiddick Sound: "On July 18, 1969, at approximately 11:15 PM in Chappaquiddick, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, I was driving my car on Main Street on my way to get the ferry back to Edgartown. I was unfamiliar with the road and turned right onto Dike Road, instead of bearing hard left on Main Street. After proceeding for approximately one-half mile on Dike Road I descended a hill and came upon a narrow bridge. The car went off the side of the bridge. There was one passenger with me, one Miss Mary ________( There was a blank space here because Kennedy was not sure of the spelling of the dead girl's last name, and instead offered a rough phonetic approximation ), a former secretary of my brother Sen. Robert Kennedy. The car turned over and sank into the water and landed with the roof resting on the bottom. I attempted to open the door and the window of the car but have no recollection of how I got out of the car. I came to the surface and then repeatedly dove down to the car in an attempt to see if the passenger was still in the car. I was unsuccessful in the attempt. I was exhausted and in a state of shock. I recall walking back to where my friends were eating. There was a car parked in front of the cottage and I climbed into the back seat. I then asked for someone to bring me back to Edgartown. I remember walking around for a period of time and then going back to my hotel room. When I fully realized what had happened this morning, I immediately contacted the police." -- necromancer Official Overseer Of KoOkS And Trolls In rec.autos.driving |

No telling. SADDAM has been an idiot since the accident 9 months before it was born. Haven't heard from you in a while, Hector. What have you been up to? "Oh yeah. Well i've gone 3 1/2 years without a fatal crash so i must be doing something right." --Laura Bush murdered her boyfriend/laura bush - VEHICULAR HOMICIDE/ Speeders And Drunk Drivers Are Murderers (SADDAM), 9/24/2006 Ref: http://tinyurl.com/qdotr Msg ID: |

Even US$1 million invested in a bank CD (currently the going rate at banks in my area is about 4% to 5% for small accounts)* would leave me living a comfortable lifestyle withoug having to work. And I'm sure a smart financial planner could do better. * Of course, the interest from the CD would have to be paid out instead of being reinvested in the CD... -- "Oh yeah.
