Grandma Update
I got the following e-mail from my father this evening when I got home from work:
Court hearing this morning. Finally, a preliminary hearing scheduled for April 18. Likely he will plead/deal before that. Looking like all parties may agree on a 10 to 12 year sentencing - somewhere in that range - knowing that parole after serving 15% to 20% of time is possible.
I am so not ok with this ... on any level. What kind of tough on crime, tough on drunk driving message are we sending when an irresponsible drunk can kill an elderly woman and serve only 1.5 - 2 years? She had far more years than that left on her life and
she was a member of society that actually contributed! She touched people and changed their lives, just by being who she was. And this scumbag who never offered anything of substance to a community in his life gets to just take her away and be slapped on the wrist for it?
And I haven't heard word one about anyone fighting to actually put him in a courtroom. Witnesses and a good case - and they are already talking about a bullshit plea.
I'm f'in disgusted.

Something you might want to consider--sue him in civil court for wrongful death. Then, wants he is found liable, any financial judgement can be levied against him when he gets out of jail. His wages can be garnished and thus he will continue to "pay" for his crime.
Also, a nasty way of looking at it, by garnishing his wages, you might force him into a life of crime which could put him back in jail...exactly where you might want him.
Was it evil for me to suggest those things?

Dorothy's on the money. Although it's such a shame that the only way to get justice is to go out-of-pocket with a civil suit instead of just letting him run around a paintball field and "accidentally" bringing a handgun instead of a paint gun.

Either I'm having a fat day or my pants are having a small day.

Laid Up
I missed blogging about my St. Patty's day festivities yesterday, why? Because I was laid up in bed all day.
Because I was hungover? No...
Because I was getting laid by some hottie I met the night before? No...
But because I managed to find myself coming down with a nasty cold, just before going out on Friday. One of those *WHAM* you're sick kind of moments that hasn't eased up yet.
Of course, the sore throat and tiredness didn't keep me from ejoying my Guinness ... but it sure did a number on my plans for Saturday...

I was hoping you managed a good night out, and found Mr right...all on St. Patricks Day, not the bird flu.....

Watch that cold and get to the doc if it doesn't ease up after a few days. I had what I thought was a cold, but the sore throat just wouldn't go away. Turned out to be tracheitis. I'm on anitbiotics and feeling better, but that's some serious stuff.
