Default Late?

While at the courthouse yesterdy I had some time to kill so I entered a
courtroom and listened to part of a trial.
Idiot runs a red light at speed, T-bones a lady, killing her. Excuse? "I was
late for work."
Just before collison, through a school zone at 60+.
Don't know sentence.

If I were the judge, I think I would arrange it so that the driver was
late for work by whatever the maximum sentencing was for his crime,
and hopefully that would involve "homicide" in the description.

So did the defendant.

Science doesn't know how smart people can be, but we know dumb goes
all the way to zero.

The T-bone is a real There Ain't No Justice accident. The perpetrator
takes the impact in the most protected way, with crumple zones, seat
belt/shoulder harness, and air bag all working in his favor. The
victim gets it in the least protected way.

Just in the past few months, just in towns where I happened to be,
there were two accidents in which somebody fleeing the cops ran a red
light or stop sign and killed some poor pilgrim minding his own
business. One of them knocked the first victim's car into a
pedestrian, killing him too.

> Don't know sentence.


In one of those incidents, there were four bad guys in the car (gang
members fleeing the scene of an earlier drive-by shooting, according
to police). Two were arrested at the scene and, between the two
accident deaths and the drive-by, are facing murder charges that could
be filed as capital cases. A third was caught a few days later and
charged with various serious felonies; they've got a name and a mug
shot of #4 and are still looking for him. Not sure about which one
was driving and whether the one in the passenger seat had an air bag,
but they all survived and at two of them obviously were not that badly
hurt.

The other accident killed the 86-year-old WW2 vet and retired state
trooper who'd been drivign the other car, and seriously injured the
old guy's wife, who was in the passenger seat. The perpetrator was in
good enough shape to flee on foot but was soon caught. He is facing
several felony charges, including vehicular homicide, to go with the
five he's pled guilty to in his career thus far, so hopefully he'll be
spending quite some time in a place with no cars.

Even better is if he spends all that time being someone's bitch.

Maybe they could lock them up in the same cell with SFB and a couple
of certain others in this group....

Would be nice, but my suspicion is that SFB would end up volunteering
for "bitch" detail. :-)

A cop was tried for nearly the same thing recently. He just paid a few
tickets. Kept his job too.

Of course 'mr. late for work' will face much greater penalties even
though he lacked intent to kill as well.
