This is justice at its worst. The case involing the Police Office in Elkgrove and the Dungan case are similar, however there one major difference the police officer accident happen in the daylight in a crosswalk and in the Dungan case in the dark on the freeway. The officers verdict is 5 years and the other 15 to life. I feel sorry for the Dungan family and the little boy family in Elkgrove. Watch the news video on news10.net

I can hardly believe what I am reading. Actually JUSTICE WAS SERVED! Eric has no conscience and does not care about anyone but himself. His family seems to have the same attitude as Eric, about law enforcement and confuses what is right and wrong. There was no remorse for what Eric had done. He does not and did not care! He killed Matt and kept right on driving. He was caught. Eric was so drunk, he said that he had no idea what he hit......bad decision to get behind a wheel if you are so intoxicated that you have no idea what you hit going 65 miles and hour.
So what how the Dungans feel. They should feel bad that someone was killed. ERIC should apologize to the REDDING family. After all the REDDINGS are the ones who lost their son. If you want to feel bad for someone, feel bad for the family that lost their best friend, son and HERO!
They will never hold their son, see him get married, have a family of his own, all because a selfish man got behind the wheel one night and drove home drunk instead of staying in the taxi and gone straight home.
Matt was a POLICE OFFICER who gave his life to take the criminal scum off of the streets. He wanted the world to be a better place. He was an honest, caring officer, brother, best friend, son.
Matt is a HERO!

BSmith, you seem to be very one sided. Remember there is always two sides to every story. Don't judge people. That's what makes this world so hard to live in. Feel for people and their pain. And thank God everyday that you are not going through this, however I think you are and you are one of the Redding Family memebers. Don't you see the pain in both of the families. They both lost a son that evening. Dungan is change forever he will never be the person he was before this accident. No one decides to drink one night and then decides I am going to kill someone. Stop and think about it for a moment with out your harsh judgement and pre-judgement. It was an accident and by all laws he should have been charge with DUI-manslaughter. You seem to know more about this case then what was printed in the papers. As you live in this life try to stop and think from your heart, I do not think that your heart is that cold and remember the reporters spin a story in any direction. You really should take a good look at yourself. Many of times I drove on the freeway in the middle of the night where there is no crosswalks I could honestly say with out judgement because that is in Gods hands, I probably would not have seen the officer as well. Wow you didn't want one officer die, but you want Dungan too. Thats seems to ba a little odd as well as not caring that a child has because of an officer decision. If a child is warned not to cross the street in a crosswalk in the daytime durning school hours and does and dies because of an officer decision to Drink and Drive that day please tell what the differance really is? Don't blame it on the child. I say it again you really need to take a good look at yourself and your beleives and change for the good. God loves and he also forgives. And you need love in heart and life. Choose love everytime.
