Another (even bigger) stretch, as I see it.
Two drunk drivers, two deaths. Anybody who thinks they're going to be able to pick who gets hurt--and how badly--when they get polluted and then drive is kidding themselves. It's a crapshoot., with other people's lives on the table--the fact that that your own is at risk too does not mtigate.
We don't know where this more recent vicim was when he got hit...he might have been staring mindlessly into space in the middle of a dark street. But then, he could have been on the sidewalk under a bright streetlight too. He *might* have jumped out in front of this woman's car, and we don't have the results of any tox screen done on his body; it's possible he could have been high too.
But we *do* know she hit him going fast enough to put him halfway through her windshield...and then let him lie dying in her garage for "two or three days" while she apparently hoped he'd get better and go away, and not dime on her for driving drunk. A DWI probably would have cost her her job as a nursing assistant.
All that we know this homeless guy has in common with the naked drunk is that they're both dead.
