I hope the jury keeps in mind that the testimony from folks at the party doesn't really matter. Someone could be “stone cold sober” at 7pm when people saw him and “totally drunk” at 9pm. What matters is (1) that he was stopped for failure to dim his headlights (valid traffic stop) and (2) based on behavior witnessed by the stopping officer, was deemed to be drunk (smell, slurred speech, etc) and then refused a breathalyzer to disprove that. Nothing else matters! How many times have people used the “I only had one drink” excuse and the judge/jury not believe that line. If this judge/jury chooses to believe it, I will be extremely disappointed in our community.
By the way, where is MADD in all this?

Gary Wall must have 1,000 subscriptions to the Steamboat Pilot, because they always tend to shine a positive light on him. I can’t for the life of me figure out why these stories never highlight the fact that a refusal to take a breathalyzer is an automatic arrest for DUI. It doesn’t matter what the other circumstances are (which can be argued in court after the fact). The fact is, he refused the breathalyzer, and the Pilot seems to deem that insignificant.

Buy your house as a place to live and not an investment, and you'll be much less disappointed in market fluctuations.

Bring on the price drops. Maybe then I can afford something here. When will people learn that just because you paid a certain amount for something, it doesn't mean it's worth that price?
