It hit us very hard about what happened to Nicole, especially since we had known her since she was about 3 0r 4. At 54, I've never taken the wheel after drinking, and can't fathom those who do. The deep pain this heinous act of selfish abandonment of adult behavoir has caused all of us who were affected by this senseless death will never abate. I hope the man rots in prison, although it won't bring back this tiny angel. The new law, while well-intended, I believe is just a feel-good measure. I cannot understand why killing this child in this wreckless way is any different than murder... and can't fathom why it is not automatically prosecuted as such. At least a first degree murder conviction with automatic life would insure that this pig won't hurt anyone else for at least 40 years.
