May have not been intentional Lee, but it was not accidental either. Then we have to ask ourselves, how much good will erase bad. I was on the very same road two days ago and I saw a guy passing on the double yellow. He may or may not have been drinking. Fact is, if he had of hit someone, he would have been at fault. It would have been a wreck, not an accident.

Just some food for thought. Thanks for visiting and posting.

Mic, if Mr.Morelock had killed someone then he too would be on tiral. Granted the trial would not have such attentions as Billy’s however it would have been an open-and-shut case and he would have been in jail a year ago. Also Mr.Morelock didn’t earn his income from a vehicular related job. In that vein I believe Billy should have been tried as would any truck driver. And finally, as I stated earlier, his conduct actually leaves the door open for murder
2nd degree.

I have been reading these comments for a good portion of my night trying to get a good feel for what people are really thinking. I have to be honest I do not have much faith in people after reading much of this.

first point- Many are condemning Billy for drinking and driving, was not the other driver drinking and driving? ahh but you say his BAC was not as high as billy”s. correct but still .13 is well over the legal limit. would their be such an outcry if it were reversed? or would many of the Billy Lane haters say good he deserved it due to the life he lived prior?

second point- many times through out this site i have read “he should just be a man and take responsibility” to you i ask have you ever broken the law? if so why have you no turned yourself in to receive your due punishment. If more people would adhere to their own wisdom of taking responsibility, their would be no need for lawyers. The guilty would own up and the innocent would have nothing to worry about.

all I am trying to say is the circumstances being what they are both parties were breaking the law, yes one may have broken more than the other, But both were driving illegally, both payed with their lives. Mr. Morelock with the breath that he breathed, as for Billy Lane’s his life as he knew it is over. both took each other’s lives. had either of them had made the decision not to drink and drive we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

if i had to choose which person i would rather be i would have to pick Mr. Morelock, because living a life after taking a life due to poor decisions is not a life worth living. i would rather be dead.

I in no way shape or form am trying to disgrace the dead or show any disrespect to the family’s involved. if i have offended anyone i am truly sorry, that was not my intention.

Thank you Mike for all the information and giving us a place to voice our opinion.

Wow. Now that is why the internet is so great. Brilliant insight like that.

Thanks for the update Mike. I kinda thought this was the case. Just my opinion but if the wheels of justice progressed any slower they’d be running in reverse. And isn’t it weird how some fag gets more coverage than a murderer ?
