As for the curfew question, I cannot answer that. But I can say that the Jefferson County Sherriffs Department anounced this morning that Chris' blood alcohol content was over twice the legal limit. They have also determined that he jumped onto the car from the side, and that he jumped off instead of being thrown off. This sheds a whole new light on the investigation. I guess that it could have been much worse if the vehicle that Chris was driving while intoxicated would have killed innocent people. It could have even been a relative or friend of someone reading this.
My thinking is not skewed, I simply am fortunate enough to have all of the facts that the general public does not. The press has done a very good job of creating one sided drama and leading people to beleive that this was done intentionally. I apologize if I have offended anyone, but it bothers me to hear that people actually think that this was intentional. If you only new this boy, you would think otherwise. Many of his other teachers have already written to the prosecuting attorney explaining that he is an extaordinary boy, and that this is very out of character. Family members of the other boys are telling me that the he is taking this very badly and is very upset that he inadvertently was involved in the death of another person. He has said that they were just trying to get away after the older boys threatened them with comments about them being able to kick their @$$&$ because they were in the military and tried getting into their vehicle.
This will be my last post, as I am getting too emotional about this whole situation. Please consider all sides of this event. Hopefully this will all be over with soon.
Even of you feel like you know all the details,you don't. Chris was NOT driving, he was with 3 men, 1 being my brother and he was the sober driver. Chris was the only man in the ROTC, the others, not. I appreciate your opinions, but wait till it's your family member killed, then tell me what you have to say about that.
