San Diego Drunken Driver Receives 18 Years for Gross Vehicular Manslaughter

mgcalhoun — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:01:20 +0000

In Vista, a woman received eighteen years for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs ultimately killing two couples while operating her vehicle.

The San Diego drunken driver known as Deanna Fridley was not only intoxicated with alcohol, but she was also high on methamphetamine when she collided head on into a Toyota Camry while behind the wheel of her GMC Yukon back in 2007. Last month, Fridley pleaded guilty to DUI causing injury as well as gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. The two couples, Luis and Lina De Santiago and Luis and Rubi Baez who were on their way home from a double date that night was struck by Fridley?s Yukon. The couples had been best friends for fifteen years.

During Fridley?s sentencing in court, she addressed the victims? families by saying “I’m very sorry for the pain and suffering your families have been through?I’m sorry.” It was reported by the prosecuting attorney that Fridley on the day of the accident was drinking and smoking methamphetamine with Amber Arviso, her best friend. It was also made known that Arviso was responsible for an alcohol related incident that injured several people a month before. Fridley as well as another passenger by the name of Anthony Boles had to be pulled from the SUV due to vehicle catching fire. Both were hospitalized with broken bones. Fridley?s blood alcohol level was .12% and her results showed that she tested positive for meth.

During her trial she explained that she had been driving the Yukon during that day but switched seats with Boles because she felt that she was too intoxicated to drive. Boles also testified saying that he was not the one behind the wheel when the crash took place.

If you have been arrested and charged with a San Diego DUI, trust your case to an experienced San Diego DUI lawyer. Victor A. Orsatti at the San Diego Law Center will explain all of your legal options during a free consultation.

Throwing Citizens in Prison for Profit

mgcalhoun — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:01:41 +0000

It is a well-documented fact that our prison population continues to grow at a rate outpacing that of the population. As of the end of 2009, we now have the dubious distinction of having the largest per-capita prison population in the world — according to Wikipedia and U.S. Department of Justice statistics, 749 of every [...]

Gold Remains The Best Alternative To Paper Money

Two examples of the frustrations that some gold investors have gone through in the past year offers a valuable lesson to long term gold investors. During 2011, despite being heavily invested in gold, John Paulson’s Gold Fund wound up losing 11% of its value. This despite the fact that gold bullion gained $142.50 during 2011, [...]

Wine and Food

mgcalhoun — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 17:01:21 +0000

Thanksgiving brings up the usual stream of articles recommending wines for Thanksgiving. This exercise has obviously gone too far as writers now reach for extreme examples just to be “different” rather than sticking with something that actually makes sense. Amarone? Grenache? Possibly, but why in the world would you go so far out? The matches for the traditional American Thanksgiving dinner are simple: lighter reds and fuller whites. Common sense and a little knowledge is all that’s needed. Pinot noir or gamay (Beaujolais) and chardonnay or riesling if you like a little sweetness with the potentially dry bird. With the literally thousands of variations of these varieties there seems little need other than personal taste or a bored writer to practice this new extreme matching reality show. Also, not every menu demands complexity in wine. Mounds of turkey, sweet potatoes and stuffing requires refreshing beverages, not equally ponderous ones. Cool, fruity and zesty are more pleasurable than a wine as ponderous as the meal.

Perhaps all this extreme matchmaking is due to the fact that wine writers taste most of the wines they review without food. This is a very strange thing if you think about it. After all, wine really has no other purpose than to be part of a meal. Critics give wines points based on how they taste against other wines, not how they taste with dinner. This fact alone tells you how pointless points are when it comes choosing what wine to buy.

In all honesty I don’t drink wine without food: with the notable exception of sparkling wines. I just don’t get it. The first sip of wine always has me thinking about what bite of food is going to follow. The idea of a chardonnay or cabernet as a cocktail is beyond me. When I’m getting ready to cook I’m doing one of two things: either I’m looking for something to go with a particular wine or deciding what wine to have with the menu I’ve selected. The concepts of cooking, eating and wine are so tightly intertwined in me that I cannot separate their experience in my mind. I can’t even imagine why you would want to.

A beautiful veal chop thus led me to a bottle of 2009 Tendril, Tightrope, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, the new release from my friend, winemaker Tony Rynders. Tony is making two Tendril pinots: “White Label”, a blend of his vineyard sites and Tightrope, a special barrel selection. The veal chop got the Milanese treatment and the wine was perfect with the dish and it was perfect with the wine. A very nice arrangement. The only breadcrumbs at hand were panko so the chop was even crunchier than usual. I’d do that again. The Tightrope’s tart acidity in the proverbial velvet glove was just the right foil to the breaded and fried chop. Being the foil is the wine’s job.

Only sixty cases of 2009 Tendril Tightrope were produced and you can only buy it from the winery at www. tendrilwines.com. The $64 price tag is a bargain for a wine of this depth It will be worth putting away for a few years to let it grow up. However, for Thanksgiving I’m recommending the more subtle 2009 Tendril White Label Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. It’s more forward and fruity than the Tightrope and certainly such an American meal deserves an American wine. However, with less than 400 cases produced not many tables will be lucky enough to be graced with a bottle this Thanksgiving.

Matching food and wine is about the combination of personal taste and common sense. There’s no reason to go to extremes: unless you have to write an annual Thanksgiving wine matching article that is.

Expunging a DUI

mgcalhoun — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:01:18 +0000

A person can expunge a DUI in Kentucky under certain circumstances.

KRS 431.078 covers the circumstances for the expungement of a misdemeanor DUI. A DUI – first is a misdemeanor according to KRS 431.060 since it does not involve incarceration in the penitentiary. According to KRS 431.078, the court shall grant the expungement if certain conditions are met, including, but not limited to: 1) no previous or pending felony conviction, 2) no misdemeanor or violation offense in the five years preceding the DUI conviction, and 3) no pending nor conviction of a felony, misdemeanor or violation since the conviction sought to be expunged.

??By default, if a person receives a DUI-2, DUI-3, etc, then they will not be eligible for expungement of a DUI-1st as these are enhancable offenses within the five year period as defined by the DUI statutes, KRS 189A.010, et seq.

Once the court grants the expungement and issues an entry to order the sealing of the records, along with making a payment to the clerk for $100, the proceedings in the case shall be deemed never to have occurred. The clerk and the court may then reply that no record exists upon any inquiry into the matter. Additiounally, the person whose record is expenged shall not have to disclose the fact of the record or any matter relating to the expunged charges on an application for employment, credit, or other type of application.

However, it is important to note that the expungement applies to court records and documents. It does not apply to public records. Therefore, any DUI or misdemeanor placed in the public record (news paper, internet, etc.) prior to the expungement will most likely remain in the public record and be able to be retrieved.
