Drunk Driving Defendant Sobs at Sentencing, Then Makes Nasty Comment
to Victim's Daughter
The Associated Press
Published: May 19, 2005
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - A drunk driver being sentenced for a fatal
crash sobbed and expressed remorse on the witness stand - then made a
nasty remark to the victim's daughter as he was leaving the courtroom.
Donald Hawkins, 32, of Chunchula, Ala., received the maximum 15-year
prison sentence Wednesday for drunken driving manslaughter. He had
pleaded guilty in the crash that killed Mary Archer, 64, in December
2003 when he ran a stop sign while speeding in a 35 mph zone.
Trembling on the stand, Hawkins talked about his "tragic mistake" and
said he had stopped drinking.
But as he was turning to leave the courtroom after learning his
sentence, Hawkins told one of the victim's daughters, "I hope this
happens to one of your children."
Relatives were shocked by the comment from the handcuffed defendant.
"I guess that shows how remorseful he really is," said prosecutor
David Rimmer, who also heard the comment. "He changed his tune in a
hurry. It was a difficult day for both families. It's what I've always
said about alcohol: It bites like a serpent and stings like a
scorpion."
Defense attorney Barry Beroset had asked for something less than the
maximum, citing Hawkins' importance to his family. But Circuit Judge
Jan Shackelford turned him down.
"When you get out of prison, you will return to your family. You will
have a life," Shackelford said. "They will not," speaking of Archer's
family.
Hawkins was ejected from his SUV when it crashed, and initially asked
troopers if they had caught the person driving it. Authorities were
able to prove he was at the wheel by DNA evidence on the air bag. His
blood-alcohol level of 0.18 was more than double the legal limit.

Seems that you have been called out as the hypocrit you are.
Why just pick on L. Bush and not mention Kennedy? You have no good
answer, do you? You will ignore this or spew venom.

And Teddy Kennedy got even less, even though he was drinking at the
time. He had a "get out of jail free" card.

I don't have that problem.
