Get him off the streets. Living at home might just mean the parents are trying to help him, but how is he getting the money to buy drugs and means to be out at night?

Sentence him to rehab...or jail, let the parents and him take their pick. This guy is probably a victim of that wreck, or it made him worse.

He still lives at home (based on the addresses reported by WRAL)at aged 24. Enabling parents only fuels the addiction

Ain't learn nothing has he. I don't even think jail time will straighten this young man out.

An accident.

Did someone actually call this an accident? 18 years old, drunk and driving 72 in a 35 (obviously a residential area). Right. It was an accident waiting to happen.

"WHY? was he allowed BACK out on the roads? A lawsuite waiting to happen."

I don't see anywhere where it says he was allowed back on the roads.

Try to give a kid a break, and they just can't accept it. He's had more than enough chance to straighten out and has refused to do so.

Now he needs to be treated like a big boy and do his time.

An accident that took a life should be a very stong wake up call for this guy. I think he had the opportunity to clean up his act, never drink another drop, no drugs, a chance to be a role model. I guess he blew that. Heroin and opiates are pretty big time stuff.
