I'm not sure of what distinction you are suggesting. I didn't mean to split hairs, over definitions.
I said he had an alcohol problem. A DUI six years ago, I girlfriend leaving him earlier this year, and a statement to police he didn't remember driving home.
You are free to call that alcoholism, or alcohol abuse. I call it a situation where a blackout could be plausible, very plausible.
Obviously I don't know it to be a fact; just reasoned speculation about what could be part of the crime.
In spite of all the noise about the VDs I haven't heard about their DUIs, drug busts, etc. I know how much that disappoints our regular readers.
But you'd sure think it would come out, what with Rick Roberts and all the well informed San Diego PD folks leaking.
For blackouts: I don't know the extent of your knowledge, but I would expect you have read of cases where people do remarkably normal tasks, in a full blackout.
Is this what yall are basing your 'blackout' hypothesis on!? I;ve been wondering where this theory came from.
Maybe he didn't remember anything about driving home that night because nothing memorable happened? I don't remember any details of my drive home, from the time I got on the interstate til when I got off. And that was just today, not 3 days ago, lol. OMG!!! I was in a blackout. ROFL!
