I know that, and they are great rehabilitation methods if they can actually get inmates to participate and take the classes. They definitely do not offer medical diplomas though! ---

If you don’t kill anyone, the penalty for DWI is a lot worse than the penalty for leaving the scene. Another wonderful unintended consequence of our justice system. ---

Especially when they come from that subway station, its ridiculolus. I hope you’re not insinuating that a specific racial group of people never pay attention to pedestrian traffic devices. Besides, the victim was white. > [@ILC](#): > > they should hang him! Im not going to even go into details, but I doubt its his fault The witness that the news interviewed said that the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed (“~70mph+”). I also heard that there were no tire marks from braking. I’m pretty sure it’s his fault. Besides the point, if he was at all intoxicated that constitutes negligently operating a vehicle and immediately opens his up to liability for hitting that woman. I hope he goes away for a very long time. He is being represented by Joel Daniels, a very high priced defense attorney so I’m not interested in hearing any whining about his bail. ---

From WKBW: The truck took off. Amherst police found a vehicle matching that description at a gas station near Millersport Highway later in the evening after receiving a tip call. Today, 21 year old Christopher Tulamello was arraigned in city court. **He faces a laundry list of charges, including vehicular manslaughter, vehicular assault, driving while intoxicated, and driving without a license.** **His attorney saying he faced a driving while impaired charge last year.** **“Outside of that his record is spotless. He works. He is a lifelong resident of this community.** He went to Williamsville North and he turned himself in about an hour after that. This is not a case of where he ran away and he was MIA for a while,” said attorney Joel Daniels. ---

How do these two statements mesh? How can he have turned himself in if the police got him on a tip later that night? edit: It’s also pretty clear to me that leaving the scene of a fatal accident and not being found for an hour is exactly the definition of “he ran away and was MIA for a while.” ---

Spotless record?? [http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/513941.html](http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/513941.html) "On Jan. 20, Tulumello crashed into a tree after drinking vodka and Red Bull energy drinks at the Steer, a University Heights restaurant not far from the University at Buffalo South Campus and the intersection where Wednesday’s fatal accident occurred. In that case, University police arrested Tulumello at 3 a.m. after he struck the tree in a parking lot at Main Street and Bailey Avenue. He refused a breath test after that accident. During his Buffalo City Court case, he admitted drinking at the restaurant even though he was supposed to be a designated driver for his companions. But he said he was “too bombed to drive anyone else home,” so he left without them, according to court records. He paid a $300 fine after his Feb. 28 conviction for driving while his ability was impaired. " What a fuck up… ---

I hope he goes away for a very long time. I was more referring to the trash that populates the area. I doubt 70+ you just can’t go 70+ in that area at that time. I could see 45-50. I’m sure there were no marks, cause he probably didn’t see her at all. I hope he goes away too for a while, drinking and driving is bullshit. But I STILL DOUBT ITS HIS FAULT THAT HE HIT HER.
