Driver goes on trial in vehicular homicide case -- Crimes, Palm...

Nobody gets "addicted" to fast cars, slow cars, pretty cars, ugly cars, or any cars. Next his attorney will broach the subject of Honda purposely addicting youth and being at fault.

They should sentence him to 20 years in a KIA Sephia

Car addiction? LOL.

the truck driver sees the cars lights and judges the distance to the posted speed limits, going the speed limit the car never would have closed the gap so quickly,speed kills, this guy claims to be addicted,hes only been driveing for 3 years at most, i started raceing in 1967 and still do today,but you won't find me doing 90 miles an hour on the streets, treat this guy like the reckless person that he is

Your kidding me right? The lawyer should be ashamed trying that defense, what a joke

In a little while he can become addicted to prison food....

The stench from the bs is killing me on this one. The kid screwed up and someone died from it. There is nothing to take to court. Jail for vehicular homicide and probation after that. What is there to argue in a court?

The truck had no business doing a U-turn? The kid had no business in a "car show" on a public street! Hope the trucker is suing him back!

Execute him....

He was involved in car accident, it was an accident. He wasn't the only car driving through the street, when the truck decided to make a u turn. When a semi truck makes a u turn, it turns very slow. Why he didn't wait until the road was clear. Come on was at night and traffic was very slow.
I think the kid needs a second chance, how the procecutor said he got addicted to car. Did he never had a hobby? so he got addicted to it? probably you are addicted to accessories.
He wasn't drinking and doing drugs.

Addicted to speed ?? LOL Go to the track.

Who said it was not an accident? Is anyone claiming he did it on purpose? Of course not. So what's your point?

The State will attempt to prove the defendant was driving in a reckless manner. When this reckless driving results in the death or bodily injury of another, there are criminal consepuences. You got a problem with that?

I have a lot of hobbies; none of them include driving like an idiot, If you want to do so, go to a speed track where the only person you endanger is your own fool self.

Ignorance is NOT bliss!

Why the long face, Josh?

He will be able to pin a poster of his car to his jail cell wall and look at it 24/7. Enjoy!

Addicted to his car and speed? Hang em! Lawyers suck!

Can't wait for the next "rage" defense. Braswell's attorney will probably allege "asphault rage"..........Braswell hates asphault so much that he tries to wear it out as soon as possible.

Firstly who the hell races a Honda?
Secondly, I believe "addicted" is a strong word. I'd say maybe infatuated with the "thrill" one might experience such as on a roller coaster, the exhileration of traveling at a fast rate of speed. Now that's possible. When I was younger I had several 'muscle cars" and fast was the objective. I never raced per say and never injured anyone, but driving fast, very fast was a kick. Seeing this is an activity that seems to be gaining popularity maybe a track could be built to accomodate those who indulge in this passion. Or just hope gas prices will put a brake on street racing.
