Another reason why Marv didn't pursue him heavier. Or if you want to say it, another "I told ya so"! Wouldn't it be interesting to know if we really passed on him due to character issues?

I got ya, misinterpreted your previous post.

I just think it's ludacris that these asswipes get off with basically nothing and John Doe gets treated like a ****ing murderer.

I've never even heard of a DWI getting pled down to wreckless driving. What a f'n joke.
