Well apparently HE was DRUNK and should be charged to the max 2 innocent SOBER people were the victims....... I agree with sara it says plain as day his charges and the technology of today is pretty acurate dont know if was blood drawn or not but that is the standard procedure anymore...... By the way sara's statement was just that a statement not a conviction or judgement........
