Congratulations. End of a chapter, a book for that matter. Use this as a chance to teach others the value of life and how fast it can be over and change. Wish you the best.

I never denied taking responsibility. I offered a deal that was justice. It was guilty of you guessed it, reckless driving, and I would do community service and 2 years probation. But the family wanted me to say "gross negligent homicide" or vehicular homicide. I was not putting my name on that. And not one single person on this board that ever posted a kill in the that section is less guilty than I was. I am sorry for Mr Frazier and hi family but what about mine? Would it have been any better had I died as well? The world against me and I won. Period. 12 can judge me, only GOD can convict me. Today, he had mercy on me, how can the family, a church going brothership of a family not have that same mercy. But I understand there pain. I lost my brother that day and he had a name.

Congrats man. I'd much rather have reckless driving over manslaughter.
I just hope you and your family can pick up the pieces now and move on.
Feel so bad for your family losing your brother to this accident.
Bet your gonna be hanging out with your nephew alot from here on. Glad he was in your car and safe.

I'm glad the court system worked out for the good for once and reckless driving is understandable but careless driving defines what you described a lot better. I'm sorry for your loss and the Fraziers loss but now you must move on with your life and teach others what it is to street race. I was arrested for reckless driving back at 17 years old and it changed my life and my driving habits. Good Luck to you sir and know you had no part in the death of those two it was a freak accident.

Dale,
Congrats on the verdict. Now it's time to move on and be the best uncle possible for your nephew. I hope both families can have some closure and move past this.

CONGRATS ON GOING HOME TONIGHT SAFE AND SOUND.


i've always been infuriated with the fact that if someone is killed when involved street racing the other person whom isn't dead is held accountable for the other persons head. like anyone was holding a gun to someone elses head making them street race :asshat:

stupid ass judicial system we have.




Because God is perfect and humans are not.

beg to differ but then that would just start a whole religious battle no one needs.

If I was in your shoes I might even consider doing community service above and beyond what is required by court order - perhaps contacting local PD if you could participate in something like lecturing at a local high school about street racing. I might even inquire from the judge if there might be some similar service - preferably related to prevention of street racing. Just something to consider.

Already said that before I left tonight. I have wanted to lecture about my experiences all along. If I can save one life Dewayne and Mr Frazier don't die in vain....

How bout this, no racing fuel first off. Second the jury found me NOT GUILTY!!!!!!! The found me guilty of reckless driving and that's it. I didn't kill anyone. I'm sorry for the loss if Mr Frazier, but what about Dewayne? He isn't worth any less than Mr Frazier. This is over. NOT GUILTY of MANSLAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:beerdrink: do this tonights, and start the next chapter of your life. happy for you man.

It hard to say congrats, not that u don't deserve it, but because u never should have been charged with manslaughter to begin with. But congrats and good luck in being able to finally move on with ur life for U and ur family. I hope u do well in life as I wish the same for the other family involved.

I let go today. Dewayne is gone, Tom Frazier is gone. No one can ever replace them. I pray GOD gives everyone involved some peace. I am closing this thread. No need to keep scratching a wound. I have respect for 302 and I won't tolerate anyone talking down on him. EVERYONE lost something that day. I am nearly bankrupt just defending myself. Two men died for no reason. It's time I move on. DON'T RACE ON THE STREET! /thread.
