Drunk Driver Blames Dead Victim For His Orange County Murder Conviction

• Me too.

• Hate it when I have an edit fail before posting,   he he.

• what, is this an ad disguised as a comment? I wouldn't click on that link even if I were shopping for bedding.

• Excess injuries in your accident raises my insurance rates, increases the demand for public emergency services (less availability for others, and/or raises taxes), overtaxed hospital emergency resources become that much more scarce ... . Freedom will always be relative, your freedom to be an idiot is and will be restricted.  Get over it.

• Disregard the question mark at the end of the first sentence.

• I think the piece of shit that got 180 days deserves the same as the dumb piece of shit in the above story?. How did you school anybody?

• Here’s a recent story of a 19yr old man that ran over a bicyclist at 3:00 a.m. while exiting the 405 Freeway on to Warner Ave. He then fled to his home and called police 30 minutes later to report a body in traffic lanes. He killed somebody without being drunk, fled like a coward (consciousness of guilt), and gets a slap on the wrist.  What do all of you smack talkers think about this article. Let’s hear your outrage about his actions. How many times should he be beat before you shoot him? I’m sure you’ll think of something to justify why his case is different, even though he didn’t stop to render first-aid, call for help, or just wait for police. I don’t think you’re funny or serious with your frivolous hate comments. You just want to see your rant in print. “Published: Jan. 5, 2012 Updated: 12:19 p.m. By LARRY WELBORN / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER" A Huntington Beach man was sentenced to 180 days in jail Thursday for striking and killing a bicyclist while driving and then fleeing the scene. Adam Carl Garrett, 19, pleaded guilty to felony hit-and-run causing death and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence.” You have just been schooled….good day, gentlemen.

• I remember a story about a woman who was critically injured when her car was struck by a drunk driver and needed a blood transfusion but refused because it was against her religion. She died. The guy then had the gall to argue he wasn't directly responsible for her death because she had chosen to forgo the transfusion! Excuse me? If he hadn't been driving drunk she wouldn't have been injured and in need of one in the first place! Rebecca Moon may have neglected to wear her seatbelt, but Angel Leal chose to drive drunk and caused the crash that killed her!

• What I would like to know is, to whom is the blame for him consuming so much alcohol that he got in his truck and drove the wrong direction on the freeway in the first place. The bar tender, (no)his "partner"(no) ( don't know if he is a dick smoker yet, but he will be soon ), his drinking buddies(no), the stress of being an illegal(no), alcohol ads on tv(no), the bud light chicks(no), mickey mouse(no), obozo the clown(maybe),himself (yes). There are just so many reasons (excuses) that if you get down to it, its all of our falts, we should just let him free.   Yeah right! Right after we nail his balls to a stump and push him over backwards!! You know, to get him ready to be somebodies bitch.   Condolences to the family he hurt........

• hey mitch Tell it like I see it! gastavo and this other schmuck go way back!  LOL

• What??? What's more American than filing a frivolous appeal???

• "pound that tender mexican sausage"???Wierd. I usually pound my tender mexican sausage when my old lady's on the rag.

• He doesn't look or act like an American. They may want to check his papers. I'm just sayin'...

• ok, ok....I am also an American of Mexican descent then...I forget to do that, my apologies. So is Arechigad1 suggesting Mexican men from Mexico act like that then? Because that would clarify my response for everyone.

• kill him in prison, SOB

• I would say I'm a Mexican... But I'm not Mexican, I'm an American who's heritage is of Mexican descent... And I agree with Arechgad.

• Oh please... Wear your own seatbelt if you'd like but stay out of everyone else's buisiness.

• Thank you,Sir.  Wow that makes me feel even less about the individual.  Again, Thanks for the update.

• Psychopath.

• It was him. His lawyer found no valid appeal claims.

• Typical? I don't really agree with that at all. Well, at least the men I know don't hold true to your statement. And trust me, I'm Mexican, too ;)

• He needs to take responsability for his actions, Typical mexican male, always trying to get away with not being blamed for the dumb shit they do, hay hay hay, Trust me, im mexican, i know how irresponsible men can be, theyre not all the same, but sadly most believe it is their right to drink to their stoop.

• Do you actally think that this waste of carbon based life material could come up with those objections pertaining to his case?  I say no.   It is more than likely  some 3rd rate Lawyer whose office probably has wheels on it.  To blame the victim is not only repulsive but egregious as  well.   

• we will get him bi- griggs.. how long have you been BI?

• This piece of shit deserves something besides prison.

• It’s been a pleasure reading this article. It’s hard to find great stories to read today so it’s nice to find good content to read.  Thank you! Webmaster of <a href=" http://novaformmattresstopper.com"> Novaform Mattress Topper </a>

• hi peter thanks for stopping by last night. I never knew i could make it clap like that.. Talk to you later big guy :)

• I would love to pound that tender mexican sausage before we shoot him up.. Give hime a real beating right bro?

• Former gastavo drinking buddy.

• And they say white folks age badly.

• This fuck should be used to see how many times someone can be shot before they die.

• Wow. He's only 28?? Looks...not 28...

• Hmmm -- three Spanish names, no valid CDL. I'm guessing illegal immigrant.

• He does bring up a good point:  wear your seatbelt.  It's not just a good idea; it's the law.
