Robert LaPointe Verdict
Posted by Patrick Moening

Prosecutors considering whether to retry Robert LaPointe on manslaughter charges will likely wait to see what sentence he gets in November for boating drunk, in a crash that killed two people ... He has no criminal record, but the state will ask the judge to consider his driving history, which over a period of 22 years includes 22 speeding convictions, four convictions for failing to stop for a police officer and two license revocations for being a habitual motor vehicle offender, according to Massachusetts state records.

I, too, had been struck by these facts ... here space them out so that they are most easily readable:

* 22 speeding convictions

* 4 convictions for failing to stop for a police officer

* 2 license revocations for being a habitual motor vehicle offender.

This doesn't sound like the safe driver who had an unfortunate "accident".

Hey,these type of cartoons arn't suppose to be funny. They are either saterical or comments by the artist. I think he hit it right on. Go back to your Disney comics.
