Saving her would have been the thing that made things easier for him. Calling her, "his ary Jo" is just the oddest thing that I have ever seen. |
First of all, "his Mary Jo" was a typo (just like your typo here "his ary Jo" . It should of just said Mary Jo.
You are right, I do not think that he knew her really well. I think she thought she was getting a ride home from a party but he had other ideas in mind.
As far as whether he was drunk or not, we will never know, because
he left the scene of the accident. Based on his history with alcohol, the fact that he had been at a party serving alcohol and that he didn't report the accident until enough time had passed for any alcohol to leave his system, I would say I feel pretty confident in my belief that he was drunk, but again, we will never know definitively because,
he left the scene of the accident. Quote:

Are you kidding me? One of his strongholds in his address to the public was that he wasn't driving drunk. I don't think there is any doubt that he was driving, that is of course, unless he was too drunk to remember whether he was driving or not. He even went so far as to admit his lack of reporting the incident right away was "indefensible".
If you don't like my source of information, then do the research for yourself. You will find plenty of articles that state the same or very similar things.
