I'm Sure Murphy's Law Says Something About This...

Report: Serial drunk driver hits judge who let him off 11 years earlier

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Jun 17th 2010 at 8:01AM
Back in 1998, Rene Fernandez received two DUIs in a span of three months. The first judge sentenced him to probation, the second judge, Edwin Collier, sentenced him to 60 days in jail but suspended the sentence. Last August, the now 45-year-old Fernandez was inebriated at more than twice the legal limit, got into his Chevrolet Tahoe and started driving, ultimately plowing into a Honda Accord in the oncoming lane.

That Accord was driven by 85-year-old retired Judge Edwin Collier, who had his wife, 81-year-old Ellen Collier in the passenger seat. Yes, it was an accident involving the same Fernandez and the same Judge Collier from 1998. Fernandez is now looking at an 18-month stint in a Montgomery County, Maryland prison for the DUI and the life-threatening injuries he caused to the Colliers.
Nice driving.

Did you just change your avatar to a Klingon Gay Pride symbol?

Hey, I took this hat fair and square from some fat guy in a red coat that I gutted with my Bat'leth.

(If I had a better understanding of Klingon language and/or culture, I might be saying a Klingon-related joke, but in the meanwhile...)

So he DOES visit Qonos! Who among your people had behaved?

He behaved for his Romulan Masters by betraying the Empire then he behaved for Worf by getting a Bat'Leth rammed through his chest. :happydevil:
