Signed, sealed & subpoenaed!

Last December (see December '07 blog entry), Scott and I were driving home from my sister's house and we spotted a drunk driver ahead of us. We phoned 911 and the dispatcher thanked us and stated that someone would find her. We really didn't believe this and so we followed her up Westwood Plateau (by our house). The drunk driver ended up driving her car into a snow pile, proceeded to get out of the car, pull down her pants and relieve herself on the street whilst being directly in the spotlight of my headlights! The police arrived and proceeded to take her directly to the hospital to get her blood drawn as evidence. Scott was later contacted by the police and gave his official statement. Fastforward one year...

A few days ago, Scott was served with papers! He has to appear in court in the new year and is a witness for the Crown. Apparently, this drunk driver is FIGHTING the charges! It's so completely unbelievable given the depth of her intoxication, but with our broken system, she will likely get off 'Scott-free'. Details to follow in the New Year!
