11/19/08 READER SUBMITTED COMMENTS: Killer impaired ?????


Dear Editor,

After reading a few of your recent headlines, I'm shocked at the blatent lack of professional behavior by certain Greenwich employees.

First, I don't believe the driver who killed Joey submitted to a field sobriety test. The law has loopholes. A driver doesn't have to take one, nor does he/she have to blow into a breathalyzer.


It was the responsibility of the Greenwich Police to videotape this man at the scene and send him to the hospital to be screened. Otherwise, he can only be found guilty of "driing while impaired".

Unfortunately "impaired" includes not wearing eyeglasses, DRIVING HAMMERED while mowing down innocent victims, and common fatigue. It doesn't seem fair, but that's the way the law is written.

I'm not a big fan of defense lawyers but our laws require guilt be proven and we SHOULD expect our police to do their share in protecting the public.

If this killer gets off, it is because Greenwich Police failed to do a thorough investigation.

My condolences to the family of Joey.

My thanks for bringing this story into the public eye.

A Greenwich legal eagle
