>None of us is shocked any more when people fail to take responsibility for their own actions, but this one has to take the cake. You may have heard, especially if you are a baseball fan, that a St. Louis Cardinals pitcher was killed earlier this season when his car smashed into a tow truck that was on the shoulder of a highway. Toxology reports subsequently revealed he had a blood alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit. The police also stated he was speeding, talking on a cell phone, and wasn't wearing a seat belt.

He should also sue the coach that made his son realize that he had potential as a baseball player. There's a possibility that this accident would've never happened if he was'nt a baseball player.

This thing is so stupid. But if there are case like this it's probably because there are judges that made it possible in the past. Perhaps the justice department is to blame for cases like that.
