Well the driver is in the VCJ with a bond OVER 1mil. hopfully he does get what he deserves. As a mother of two I can't imagine going through this and to read people's comments of feeling sorry for the driver...so sad

I am and old friend to Jayden's mother...Candace I am SOO sorry, as a mother myself i can only imagine what you are going through right now. You, your family and Chads family will all be in our prayers!! I hope this man gets EXACTLY what he deserves! If you need anything please let me know....

Does anyone really believe that 6 months in prison will keep this man from ever driving again under the influence or just because he does not have a license. Get real he did not have a valid license for a reason. Now make sure he cannot ever drive anything with a motor again.

"The sad part is, most that write in the blog do not want this guy punished for the taking of a life"

What are you smoking? Have you read the blog? I haven't seen one person with any sympathy for the driver. So where do you get the idea that most of us don't want him punished?

"RE : I have zero tolerance for drunk drivers. Anything short of life in prison is not good enough....

I agree, unfortunately, this behavior has become acceptable..."

Speak for yourself. I don't consider taking another persons life acceptable and I doubt anyone else finds this accepatable.

"Sorry gravy but David is right. These statistics on deaths caused by drunk drivers is staggering and needs to be told." - Heavenly

I have no problem with drunk driving statistics. When you start trying to make this a "gun" or "liberal" discussion you are trying to discuss something completely unrelated.

I doubt that any rational adult, liberal or conservative, would not be against toughening or enforcing our current DWI laws.

"when will this overly liberal society get he picture that crooks commit crimes and not the object they use"

I agree that everyone deals with mourning differently. I didn't get a bit of that from his post. It came off as some sort of rambling commentary about blaming the guilty and not the gun/car that was used. At the time he wrote this there was no mention of blame to a vehicle or another inatimate object.

marciamal1 - are you serious??? "if you're out drinking be considerate of others and not drive."

REALLY??? This guy has a criminal record that includes assault on a female, assault on a policeofficer, communicating threats and he was driving with a revoked license! Do you really think he (and other criminals like him) think about their potential victims??

It's time the punishment fits the crime! Don't let another person suffer at the hands of this criminal!!!

I'M FROM HENDERSON AND KNEW THE FAMILY OF JAYDAN. JUST WANT TO SAY TO THE STOKES FAMILY YOU'RE ARE IN MY HEART AND PRAYERS AND I'M SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS. YOU ARE IN MY HEART AND PRAYERS. GOD BLESS THE STOKES FAMILY!!!!

JAYDEN IS GOD'S ANGEL!!!!

Poor kid...such a shame.

It's time for a public hanging for the dirt bag who did this.

very sad for this family,but what is even sadder is their will be no justice for the family.

This is such a sad story which could have been prevented if only the driver could have thought about getting behind the wheel and endangering others in his condition. I think everyone should learn a lesson from this - if you're out drinking be considerate of others and not drive. What is it with these people that have to go out and drink - get drunk and be behind the wheel? My thoughts and prayers go out to this family. I feel so bad for them - this whole thing could have been prevented.
