I have no idea if you will ever see this, but if you do. Remember this he KILLED A HUMAN BEING.All of you goons on here, if this happened to one of you’re loved one’s. I know you would,think differently about this situation.How about this , someone walks in and tells you, hey your mom is dead,what happened to her. She got hit by a drunk driver, then you would say. He deserves to be punished, but no prison time, it’s a waste of taxpayers money. GET THE POINT.

I always liked Billy Lanes work but he knew what he was doing when he created the circumstances for the wreck. Inprisionment is not meant as revenge for the family. It is a lesson for Billy. Maybe he will hand off the keys next time, after serving 6 yrs. If he walks on this one then hes just gonna do it again.

I will say this, in most jurisdictions so long as a Judge is acting within the sentencing laws, a sentence will not be overturned on appeal.

Using the rear end analogy, here in California I got the drunk who was rear ended a substantial amount of money. She went to jail and her kids were taken by the department of children services because she was drinking and driving, but she was not nor could not be found at fault in a rear ender accident.

It is an interesting legal theory re: breaking the law by being behind the wheel in the first place. However if the drunk was not hurt than you are probably talking about a criminal case. What if the drunk was walking in a sidewalk and got hit? Are you going to deny justice because they should not be drunk in public?

In the end, Morelock would have died whether he was drunk or not in this case. That is why Lane needs to pay.

However, most State’s will do a background check now a day’s to see if you are suspended in another State, and deny you a license if you are suspended in another State.

He may have been drinking, but he was not at fault in this case.

Although Morelock was also drinking and driving, he was not the one who crossed a double yellow line with a beefy pickup truck and smashed into someone.

I once represented a gal who was drunk with her 6 kids in a van. She was driving on the freeway at night. She was rear ended by a big rig truck due to no fault of her own. She and her kids were horribly injured. After she was treated at the hospital, she was arrested for D.U.I, and convicted of D.U.I. Nonetheless, in the personal injury case I got her and her kids a bunch of money. She may have been drunk, but she was not at fault in the accident. The same is true for Morelock.

Morelock was the victim of a wrongful death due to no fault of his own.

Again folks, the issue is this, would you want to have some drunk SOB cross into your line and kill you just because getting buzzed was more important than you? Is our lives that cheap these days?

Here is the bottom line people, I will keep comments open on this issue but I am not going to tolerate bashers who will not intelligently argue their position without bashing people who disagree.

The way I see it Leo, Billy Lane killed a fellow biker and now he needs to pay. He plead guilty. If you kill someone you need to pay. If you are willing to risk your freedom and the lives of others just to get fucked up and drive, you deserve whatever you get.

Not everyone is willing to risk some-one’s life for a fucking buzz. If everyone had this attitude we would have a fucked up society full of drunks taking people out on the road.

Wrong?

There is no excuse for drinking and driving, especially when you kill a biker doing so. I don’t give a shit if it is Lane or the Pope.

You are right; everyone who kills without just cause needs to be punished!

The reason I emphasize bikers being killed as opposed to non bikers on this blog, is because this blog is biker and motorcycle related. Furthermore, there is a disproportionate number of the number of motorcycle cycle accidents that lead to fatalities, as opposed to other motor vehicle accidents that are caused by cagers as opposed to other fatal vehicle accidents, which I admit are also reprehensible especially if caused by some drunk.

My aim is to draw attention to the biker and motorcycle cause because I not only handle these cases, but I also have my ass on the line riding my Harley Davidson, and don’t want to end up like the many I represent, know about, and hear about.

On my California Personal Injury Lawyer Blog located at http://www.calinjuryblog.com I go into other types of fatal accidents that may not be appropriate on this forum.
