[NOBBC] car query, not British

[Mike Gianandrea]

Hi Don,,

I agree with John Kenner, plenty of lawyers out there to take this case, I 
have a good one in Santa Rosa if you want to get back to me. The fact that 
the drunken idiot has a lot of money does not put him above the law, nor 
does it over ride his criminal negligence. He should be sued, should suffer 
some consequences, certainly loss of driving priveledges, and maybe some 
jail time to make sure he learns something, and your friend certainly 
deserves some compensation. What if her leg is damaged for good? Go after 
the guy with a vengence.
