Dude, I do not have the time to do your homework. If you aren't going to read what I provided, why should I provide anything new?
Unable prove your point, you have sunk to gibberish dishonest ad hominem garbage. You have lost the discussion. You were invited to freshly link to data and you chose not to.
The thing about car windows is that they can go up, as well as down, pretty easily, so I wouldn't automatically believe that the drunk witness was wrong in seeing the idiot father punching the drunk driver.
Hearing additional gunfire after the crash is pretty meaningless also. It's Texas.
It is nice to hear that a cop actually got fired for not doing a good job. I'm big a fan of people be held responsible for their actions. I hope the father who put his family danger is also held responsible.
Apparently the mods don't want to interact and now this is a fuckfest.
You're buttsore because the mods won't peel the pack of wolves off you after going on about how you're a drunk driving fuckstick that thinks it's no big deal?
So precious.
The main difference is my 'story' stays consistant, you and your trollies always have something new from 'back in the day' that changes thread to thread.
And, that consistent link to all of them is they are bullshit. You had 6 beers over 8 hours and blew a 0.165 because of some kind of malfunction of the breathalyzer? Highly unlikely, bro. The fact that people call you out on that being IMPOSSIBLE to have occurred and you didn't say "well, maybe I did have more than I recall" is why him, and his ilk, give you shit.
In Michigan .17 is "super" drunk with additional penalties. MADD was wanting .15.
What Is the Michigan Super Drunk Law?
The Michigan Super Drunk law applies to drivers with no prior OUI convictions within the past seven years who operate a motor vehicle with a BAC of .17% or higher. Drivers with a prior conviction within seven years face enhanced penalties, even more harsh then those for a typical Super Drunk conviction.
For someone in a traditional drunk driving case—that is, with a BAC below .17%--you could face a maximum of 93 days in jail. The maximum jail sentence for a Super Drunk case is 180 days—almost double! The length of a driver’s license suspension is also increased. For a traditional conviction, you could be ordered to 30 days without driving and 150 days of restricted driving. For Super Drunk, there is absolutely no driving for 45 days and 320 days of restricted driving. However, unlike a tradition OUI charge, a person charged with Super Drunk driving must have an ignition interlock device installed for the entire period of restricted driving.
The fines for a Super Drunk charge are also increased. While the fines for traditional drunk driving are $100-$500, the fines for Super Drunk are $200-$700. In addition, a person charged with Super Drunk driving is required to receive alcohol treatment for at least one year.
As you can tell, the punishment associated with a Michigan Super Drunk conviction is both severe and oppressively expensive.
Except I had the bar tab at the time of the case and a bartender that was serving me as a witness stating I did not have more than that to drink.
So unless I left the bar at 2am or so and then pounded 8+ beers in my car on the way home, disposed of all the containers prior to parking, and somehow was still able to do my FST's fine...something went wrong.
It was 15 years ago now.
Most here apparently have no clue what is involved in a DUI arrest to begin with though so it no wonder they are confused/do not believe me of the process.
What kind of anorexic tweener do you have to be to blow a .165 on a few beers over 8 hours, anyway?
You're either a liar or or an anorexic tweener.
Is there a transcripts of the testimony being released? I'd like to see what other evidence the state has on this guy, besides some drunk "witnesses".

Put me on the jury, he'll walk away a free man. Sick and tired of these idiots who can't get it through their heads that driving drunk is not tolerable, and you'll probably end up killing someone.
Justifiable homicide, in my eyes. :thumbsup:
