[QUOTE="Planter, post: 15097426, member: 101620"] I'm having some conflicting feelings here. What the Colonel did was wrong, he should pay a price, but at the same time (and this is where the conflict comes in), this man gave 27 selfless years of his life to this nation, received an honorable discharge and retired. Does this man deserve some sort of consideration for his service to his country? I don't think he deserves preferential treatment because of his position or rank and the Judge was pretty considerate in lowering his bond from $1,000,000 to $500,000 in which he bonded out and went home today. [url]http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_29134105/douglas-county-judge-reduces-bond-former-colonel-held[/url] It's just hard for me to say throw the book at the guy and lose the key. I don't know his criminal record prior to this incident, but I doubt he has one, and none of the papers to my knowledge discuss any prior history of drunk driving or criminal history. On the flip side, he killed a State Trooper, and 33 year old mother of an 8 month old little girl and wife to a husband who will never get to see her again, because he wanted to drink and drive. I'm saddened by the fact that an 8 month old little girl will never know her mama because some guy thought he was ok to drive after several beers. Even worse, the guy not only hit and killed this trooper...he then fled the scene. Does 1 bad act, undo a lifetime of good deeds? And how does that translate into determining punishment? I'm glad I am not the Judge in this case, because determining a fit punishment considerate of the man's service, but at the same time rendering a fair justice to the dead Trooper and her family will be no easy feat. What are your thoughts SVTP? original article here.
