I am a long time friend and former employee of the severely injured woman/mother of 6 on "the bike". And to “whatithink” and others, I would like to respond – from what you heard, Nick worked hard in school, got excellent grades and one of the few young men who stayed in scouts to become an Eagle Scout and the “people on the motorcycle are unfortunate victims of the accident”- hmmmm…According to public records, Mr. Nicholas A. Dade just recently pleaded no contest to operating a vehicle without carrying a license. In fact, 5 weeks and 2 days to the day my friend was airlifted to the trauma center at University Hospital Madison to be exact. Now think about it…why would a police officer want or feel the need to stop anyone for operating without a license? How would he/she know someone was not carrying a license in the first place? Could he have caught the eye of the officer for a different reason? Perhaps he was not using his "good life skills" when he saw red lights on the squad behind him. According to public court records, “our Eagle Scout” was actually picked up on 1/16/09 for speeding. Seems he was driving 16 – 19 MPH over the posted limit of 55 MPH. In fact to be precise, he pleaded guilty due to a no contest plea so the charge could be amended to operating without carrying license. I’m angry that there was no helmet on either head of my friends, but right now what seems to be a bit more significant is that two of the 4 received breaks. Mr. Dade was given a break by the Walworth County Court system which was over and done when he handed over $186.00 of his money; Lisa’s breaks were a bit more involved - her leg, her arm, her skull, her orbital area (that’s her eye), cheek and jaw – probably a bit more than $186.00 and a bit more drawn out and painful.
