I Absolutely Hate Drunk Drivers and Lawyers

Friday, August 7, 2009


Turned on the Today Show today and saw a story that turned my stomach, and made me want to call 670 The Score for their "Who You Crappin" segment.

According to NY Police, Diane Schuler had at least TEN drinks and smoked pot before getting behind the wheel of a car. The results were tragic. With a blood alcohol level of .19 she drove the wrong way down a highway, collided with a SUV HEAD ON and managed to not only take her own life, but those of the FOUR children in her van and THREE men in the SUV with whom she collided.

Sadly, the story does not end there and this is my reason for the "who you crappin" reference. Mrs. Schuler's family has decided that despite the overwhelming evidence from toxicology and the scene that she was NOT AT FAULT. Despite the fact that her nieces (whom she killed) called their parents to say she was slurring her words, the family claims that she wasn't drunk and the husband says she doesn't drink. Her schmarmey lawyer pontificates that maybe she had a stroke and that's why she was slurring. Ok, that would make sense if NOT for the toxicology report! Surely the toxicology is wrong - newfangled science.
The husband can say what he wants... but as Bitchy's father says, "Denial is not just a river in Africa". Get disgusted after the jump.... http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=8268313&page=1
