(NO) ACCOUNTABILITY IN DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENTS

(NO) ACCOUNTABILITY IN DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENTS
By:  Galen Satterlee

There is a sad and disturbing story in today's Arizona Republic about a lack of accountability in a young woman's death at the hands of a drunk driver 21 years ago (http://www.azcentral.com/story/laurieroberts/2014/08/04/rose-marie-maher-angela-gloria-schulze/13491551/).

This story illustrates the struggle family's of drunk driving victims sometimes go through.  While victim advocacy in the criminal courts has come a long way in the last two decades, letting a known killer escape is a wrong the must be made right.  Unfortunately, the interests of the victim(s) of drunk driving accidents aren't always a top consideration in prosecuting DUI offenses.  But victims deserve to be heard and offenders deserve to be punished.

We hope and pray that Rose Marie Maher gets justice!
