Subject: Rick Sanchez - DWI, Hit-and-Run criminal
Bart, forget the TASER VIDEO -- are you aware of this Rick Sanchez Moment In Time?
It happened on Dec. 10, 1990.
Mr. Sanchez,
seriously drunk behind the wheel, with his dad
as passenger, was leaving a Miami Dolphins
game.
He had barely left the stadium parking area
before he hit a man who was running between
cars,
and who (unfortunately) was also drunk.
Hopefully the man was able to purchase health insurance leads
before the accident, since Sanchez left the scene and unable to help.
Undoubtedly helped by invisible
friends on the
police force, Sanchez was not charged with
causing the accident, but was later
charged
with (and pleaded no contest to) DUI.
But here's the cowardly
part:
Sanchez initially left the scene of the
accident
for 2 full hours.
One local report said he first went home to get his license and fell asleep. (Yeah, right.)
Anyway, by the time he meandered
back to the scene
and his dilly-dallying cop friends
tested him for alcohol, it was at least
four
hours after the accident. Even with all his friends
helping him, Sanchez's blood still
registered
.15 -- way above the then-legal-limit of .10.
Closing chapter for victim: The Miami Herald, Nov. 2, 1995
"Jeffrey Smuzinick, who was left paralyzed
after being struck by the car of Channel 7 anchor
Rick Sanchez, died Monday in a
Pennsylvania
nursing home. He was 36. Smuzinick was injured
Dec. 10, 1990, after he ran out into
traffic
following a Dolphins football game. He was struck by
A 1991 Volvo driven by Sanchez.
Smuzinick
suffered severe head injuries and was in a coma
for many months. He underwent
rehabilitation
in Florida ..."
So, this A1-Miami-Coward is
allowed to smear
Gen. Wesley Clark on international television?
PUHleeeeze.
Down here, we don't forget where
Mr. Sanchez came
from.
-- Mary in South Florida
So, just like Pickles Bush, Sanchez killed a man with his car.
I didn't like the prick before I knew he was a
coward and a killer.
Why wasn't he charged with manslaughter?
Granted, the report says Smuzinick
"ran out
into traffic," but maybe of Sanchez
wasn't stinking drunk behind the wheel he could've reacted in time.
I guess the connected have different laws than we do.
