Good grief. His blood came back clean. No alcohol or drugs in his system. I think it is a tragedy but I hope the jury lets him off. It was a terrible accident.
Read the details of the incident. There is a reason why he was charged before the blood tests were done.
It all depends on the facts that we don’t know right now.
If he was negligent to a high degree than he killed those kids and he should be punished for it.
It should NEVER be OK for a bus driver to kill their passengers due to their criminal negligence.
Accidents also do unfortunately happen so if it was a simple freak accident than a jury should also consider that and decide accordingly.
With many dead and horribly injured children this MUST go before a jury, in my opinion.
Just stupid then.
Racing a school bus through a neighborhood, hitting a house and continuing on to roll the bus and hit a tree so hard it almost sheared the bus in half is an 'accident' ? Terrible, I agree.
“I hope the jury lets him off”
Really?
This woman claims she has contacted the school, at least once in writing, to complain about the driver. He was recently in a bus accident where he was accused of running a stop sign. Several of the surviving kids have stated he was driving recklessly...on stating he asked ‘are you ready to die?
Scroll down in this story, and another parent (man) states the bus had gone through the neighborhood too fast in the past.
There are cameras on that bus, which will eventually help tell the tale...but at first glance, this guy looks negligent at best.
Fox news had new info on this story today. The driver yelled “Hey kids are you ready to die?!!” before he drove the bus so fast and recklessly that it crashed and broke in two. He meant to kill them all.
His mug shot was bad enough when I saw it yesterday. Clearly he’s a drug addict.
Then today, the news that he meant to kill every child on board that bus.
I hope they fry him.
Just because he didn’t have dope in his system, doesn’t mean he wasn’t negligent. The damage to the bus is not indicative of an accident at normal speed.
