It was the third worst day of my life. We sat in a courtroom for 4½ hours, learning what a good boy Linton was. It was cruel.

They were just typical. They were beautiful. They didn't deserve the risk this horrible man … took when he drove almost three times the legal limit.

No one ever expects to be the lead story on the nightly news. Once you have that kind of horror fall upon you, you never see life the same again.

If this law is passed, it might make someone who's drinking excessively to stop and think about the punishment.
