No doubt the prosecutor, eager to get this over and done with, struck some sort of deal with the foolish child.

There is no possible way in hell that smoking pot two weeks prior could have lead to the accident.

Score another one for Harry Anslinger.

Expect more of this as we get closer to budget time.

This story- true or not- will be used as often and with as much publicity as they can muster. No one will question. It is after all- about the children. All common sense get's swept under the rug when you have that on your side.

Must have been some mad chronic ganja, yo.

He had pot flashbacks while driving.

You are joking, aren't you?


I am assuming you are, if you were serious we'd be seeing a 500 word post.

He also had an attack of the munchies. He was also going through serious cannibis withdrawal. Give the guy a break.

Tyler R. Sutton, 18, pleaded guilty this morning in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 to three counts of operating a vehicle with a controlled substance causing death and feticide, all Class C felonies.
...

His passengers, Megan M. Hinds and Jennah S. Smith, both 15, died at the scene.

Hinds had been 24 weeks pregnant at the time, which Sutton said he knew before the wreck. Feticide is defined under Indiana law as the intentional termination of a pregnancy.

This whole case is shot through with bullsmurf. Why the hell is he being charged with feticide? They can't be claiming he wrecked the car in order to terminate her pregnancy.

Dollars to donuts he's black and the girls are white.

Apparently, cannabis has a less adverse effect than alcohol on motorists. (While stoned, that is. This two week business is rubbish).

Prosecutors like to take advantage of honest young peoples' guilty feelings. They're smurfs like that.

Cannabis isn't particularly dangerous while driving. Reaction time is slowed, but the drivers tend to realize this and drive more cautiously as a result.

When you hear statistics about people smoking pot and getting into accidents, the vast vast majority of those people were also drunk.
