This death has gotten a ton of press. That, in and of itself, is a step in the right direction.
yea, that's what I was thinking too. Something fell down here, but at least the folks involved were trying...I mean vehicular homicide? That's the good stuff.

Anyways it's a damn sad story with a damn sad ending.
