Was Shania Twain also drunk at the time?

There is nothing I can do that Shania Twain is not a good excuse for...

Ten years ago, Brownlee was given a seven-year prison sentence and barred from driving for the rest of his life after he killed an Ottawa woman, Linda Lebreton-Holmes, and her 12-year-old son while driving with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit. I'm sure that family is fine with this. NOT!

Everytime I see Shania Twain I feel she is somehow controlling me too.

Can't argue with that logic.

Is the Shania Twain Defense anything like the Chewbacca Defense?
To: Grizzled Bear
Exactly, she should be charged.

Pretty sickening excuse, given that this guy was a drunk driver in Ottawa and Shania Twain lost both her parents in a drunk driving incident in nearby Timmins, Ontario.
To: Mikey_1962
Put the guy back in prison so he won't kill anyone else. This is a fine example of a puddin' headed judge.

I might have thought this was kind of humorous, until I looked at the man's past experience and what the legal system did about it:
Ten years ago, Brownlee was given a seven-year prison sentence and barred from driving for the rest of his life after he killed an Ottawa woman, Linda Lebreton-Holmes, and her 12-year-old son while driving with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit.
And his likely future:
Another assessment of how much risk he poses to the community (!!!) could see Brownlee being detained in hospital, released under supervision in the community, or given an absolute discharge.
This guy isn't the only one who's nuts, and I expect we we'll be reading about him again some day.
