a Gap in N.C. Law Let Frank Davidson Drive with a Dwi History. Now...

Full story: The Charlotte Observer

I've never had anyone still out there driving after that many convictions for driving under the influence A Charlotte businessman accused of killing two teenage sisters and a 1-year-old boy while driving under the influence in South Carolina last month had previously been convicted at least six times for driving while impaired. But a hole in N.C. law prevented Frank Richard Davidson from being charged under a statute designed to rid the roads of chronic drunken drivers. If Davidson had been convicted as a habitual DWI offender, he would have lost his license for good and gone to prison for at least a year. Instead, the toughest punishment he ever received was 90 days in jail and a suspended license in 1997. Read more

The two girls you are talking about went to our
church. Their mother and father, brother and
two sisters also. When Abbey and Hanah and the baby which was a friends of Hannah's was killed
it affected our entire church. Their father Mike
McByrde is our adult Sunday school teacher and I
can say without a doubt the most Godly man I know.
There is no bitterness in him and he and family
are doing well. I have seen him heartbroken and
he has never uttered one word against Mr. Davidson. I do not know for sure when he goes to court. You know how it goes. If you got enough money you can get out of anything. That is anything on this earth. We all must meet a higher
authority one day. And we will surely not get away with anything. I thank God I went under the
blood and can honestly say that I feel sorry for
him. He has alot to live with.

I have also been wondering when Mr. Davidson would stand trial. I have no idea how to find out. I had heard that Mr. Davidson was out on bond. I hate to hear that he is behind the wheel again.
My son used to date Abby and I know the McBrydes are a wonderful, godly family. Bro. Mike is definitely the best Sunday School teacher I have EVER heard! I cannot imagine what they are going through. I believe it is a wound that will never heal, but will grieve them until they leave this world for a better one and are reunited with their precious daughters. We pray for them often because only God can help them now.

How about alerting the Courts, Newspapers, the McBryde's attorney, Television Reporters? He is in NC, does SC know what's going on with him up here?
What's to stop him from doing it again?
SIX previous DUI's and charged with Four more Felony DUI's.
TEN DUI's and driving???????

What do you do when the government doesn't live up to its primary mandate (to protect its people)? Looks like it's up to the citizens of N.C.(and S.C.) to protect ourselves.

Other than vigilante justice which is not preferable the only thing we can do is make changes in the State government so they do the fundamental job they were hired (elected) to do. The current crop of liberals in control of NC are not doing that. Its time for change in NC.

How is it he can have Christmas w/ his family, and the McBrydes have to visit their kids at the cementary. HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE BEFORE HE GOES TO JAIL? I think I'm going to be sick.

Maybe if we write our Congress person? Who else could give us answers as to why he's a free man?

I guess there will be no justice in this case. Even celebrities like Paris Hilton go to jail for DUI and no one was killed. Doesn't make sense to me

An e mail was sent to our Congress Person and Senator. They said they would look into this matter. That was 5 months ago. Haven't heard a thing. There is no justice for those children and their families. And apparently never will be until this this killer meets his maker. Oh, he's found God now and believes he is forgiven. I guess it's time to move on. Case Closed.

I think that this is a disgrace that this person is still driving and free to do whatever it is that he pleases. Is this man still working in his investment company? I wonder if this will ever go to trial?

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Sagittarius

Be careful about what you eat and drink today, my prancing Archer. Your body is in a sensitive state, so be well advised and steer clear of anything that might upset you, or to which you're sometimes allergic. Avoid anyone who's a one-man germ factory, in case a few bugs happen to jump out and over to you. Right now, you could do without it.
