Murder charges in revenge killing by father of children slain by drunk driver

[FishingRod]

If it shows that the car being pushed was in a situation where a normal sober driver should have been able to avoid running into it then I would find a way to justify letting the Dad off somehow. Temporary insanity , something like that.

If it were shown that due to the conditions, like being dark , perhaps they were just around a curve and a average sober driver could not have been expected to avoid the crash then the Father owns a large portion of the fault and I could have gone with manslaughter. I mean what if it was Denzel Washington from the Movie Flight??? could have been all jacked up and done some of that fancy stunt driving to avoid the accident.

Yeah, but Denzel takes matters into his own hands too. Like in Training Day.

Interesting case. I wonder how hard the police looked for evidence.

For instance, parents lived right across the street from them, did they check their house and yard for it?
