He was DUI, but I’d hardly call a .10 BAC “drunk.” Apparently the jury didn’t think that was an important factor in the accident, however.
Thank God our juries are hand-picked from the most intelligent and educated segments of society.
Either way, a .10 is legally drunk and does not belong on a motorcycle. The real question is, should be taxpayer be on the financial hook for him running into wild animals - other states do not hold the taxpayers liable when the run into deer or moose.
Had I been on the jury he would have lost which is why juries are now rigged by “consultants” these days and most people under the jury selection process today is flawed.
I hope the state appeals this - which I think it won’t.
