Holy shit!

If there's any justice in the world, this would be national news, and the Champaign County State's Attorney's office and courthouse would be exposed as a safe haven for drunk drivers, felony fleeing-the-scene NCAA Division I basketball players, and bicyclist runner-overs.

Judge Klaus said that there was "sufficient evidence" to support Davis’ defense; why weren’t Ninomiya or Carlson charged with an offense related to "plying" Davis (a minor) with vodka (or sexual assault, for that matter)? Why are there no pending cases addressing Davis’ underage drinking (an infraction which could cause her to lose her driving privileges)? Armed with a .20 BAC, I’m sure that Ms. Davis decided to drive blitzed halfway across town after thinking hard about her choices. Is anyone related to this case going to be held responsible for any damages or criminal behavior? The way the State’s Attorney handled cases like this one, Jamar Smith’s, and the girl who killed Matt Wilhelm while downloading a ringtone should make anyone nervous about being anywhere near a highway or parking lot in Champaign County. You blew a .20 leaving a bar in C-U? No problem! Just tell the nice judge that a big, scary person on foot was threatening to kill, beat, or molest you. Case dismissed!

If there's any consolation to this, it's that if you or anyone you love is cut in half by a drunk or distracted driver, the Champaign County State's Attorney's office will make sure that justice is well-served. I'm joking, of course. Good luck with that civil suit when no one is responsible.

I'm blogging again, so I must be pissed about this.
