Follow up on Hasting, MN MC Fatalities

Back on June 10th a drunk driver made a left turn across Hwy 61 and killed a Bloomington, MN couple on their motorcycle.

 

The drunk (at 0.20 BAC) is now being charged with 6 counts of vehicular manslaughter and other charges. He is looking at 10 years per homicide charge. Let's hope for the max.

It is about time that serious charges and jail time get handed down for killing people while driving drunk.

Thanks Juggler I am glad that the proscuters are finally getting serious with people that kill motorcycle riders.

Just had a drunk going the wrong way on a local Parkway for about 3 miles hit a car head on and kill the driver. Right now he's charged with Vehicular manslaughter but he's probably looking at Murder 2 since the DA in that county was able to convict another drunk in a similar situation a few years ago. We'll see.

It's about time. I've been advocating second degree murder charges for drunk driving deaths for a few years now.
