Here's what I'd like to see: Instead of him giving the speeches to other students about the dangers of drinking and driving in a suit and tie like he's some sort of big-shot once all this is over with, how about they ship him to various schools to give the speeches during his jail time, wearing his jail duds and in wrist and ankle cuffs along with a couple of prison guards that he'll have to get to adjust the microphone for him if he needs it. Now THAT would be a much powerful statement to the other students, and maybe they'd listen a little harder.

"Just curious would only interview those people other then get others from the schools opinions"

And seriously, can anyone interpret this for me?

If it was just an "ACCIDENT!" involving one minor traffic violation then he would have been charged with a misdemeanor and not received any jail time. You've got to be kidding me if you think this is "just" an accident.

"c4, why should an ACCIDENT! Where a kid lost one of his friends be punishable of 5-10 years or any years??? "

IF he had been driving the posted speed, and IF he had not been drinking, and IF he had not been driving recklessly, and IF after such an "accident" he immediately called 911 for help for his friend, then I would agree that jail time was not necessary.

But he was more than double the speed limit, he'd been drinking (underage), he was driving recklessly, he left the scene to clear any sign of alcohol so that he wouldn't get caught, he left his "friend" in a car w/o any help and his friend died. He was more concerned about his own skin than the life of his friend.

When you drink and drive, go excessive speed limits and are reckless, it's not an accident, it's a wreck. Accident would indicate mistake or unavoidable. This wreck was completely avoidable if he'd been more responsible.

sadiki had probably been preached to before as well NOT to get into a car with someone driving that has been drinking...just like im sure palmeri was preached to about never driving when u have been drinking. anyone of them could have died...

Decker= This whole he will have to live with this forever thing just dont cut it with me. This guy did not call 911 after the accident while his friend was dead or dying there. He worried about his own &*^ not his friends.

Decker= There is alot more than just an accident. He was drinking under age, driving over twice the legal speed limit, then after the accident he did NOT call 911 for emergancy help so his friend was dying and maybe even saved if he would have called 911. Then to beat all leaves the seen of the accident to cover up the boozing at the party.

decker~ i totally agree with you there

c4, why should an ACCIDENT! Where a kid lost one of his friends be punishable of 5-10 years or any years???

He had an accident and unfortunatly Sadiki died, It's terrible that a young life was lost. and I feel terrible for his mother and his family, but this was Sadikis friend who crashed and the fact he has to live with that death for the rest of his life is punishment enough to me.

c4sp3r~ i agree although there is not really a good excuse but i guess he was scared and didnt know what to do.....
