He should have waited till they got out of the car.
I think we have a winner here for the idiot of the year award and Darwin Award winner in training.
I mean this guy has got to more stupid than the guy that watched that movie on his DVD player while driving.
"Akers said that since the accident, Morris El is a lot more involved in the lives of his children, who are now 6 and 9.
McClintock said that Morris El had been married three times and has five children.
(Hint: it is in bold...)
And for extra points- Guess who is supporting these children? (hint: I bet it is me and you)
That being said, there was one sentence in this report that really bothered me. Here's a guy on trial with the possibility of being in prison for a long time, and the ex comes to court to make the following statement.
Lorie Akers of Galesburg, the mother of two of Morris Els children, testified on his behalf Monday but said he was self-centered and arrogant before the accident,
spending time with his children only when it was convenient for him.
There you have it, the court is willing to take the 'unbiased testimoney' of a defendent's ex-wife as mitigating evidence. Has anyone known an unbiased ex-wife in their life?
It has reached the point where it is almost absurd that a man have children by choice. Those children will be held over his head for the next twenty years in matters that have absolutely nothing to do with their betterment. While this guy may be a slug for not visiting his children, and I think he probably is, what the hell does that have to do with having sex while driving during the early morning hours? The only thing more absurd than this would be to have the waitress tesify that he didn't give her a big enough tip. "Yes your honor, he only gave me 12%. Why I never!"
This is the heighth of absurdity.
