Talk about Karma
Last year 25-year old Nicholas Hernandez was arrested for drunk driving:
Harris County Assistant District Attorney Brent Mayr said Hernandez was arrested after the Aug. 3, wreck which killed James Kelleher, 26, and his passenger, 23-year-old Suzanne Penland, who were hit head-on as they drove south on Texas 288.This wasn't Hernandez's first time driving drunk:Mayr said Hernandez was driving a Chevrolet Impala the wrong way on the highway and had a blood alcohol concentration of .30, more than three times the legal limit, when he hit the two friends who were in a Buick LeSabre.
Hernandez was convicted of driving while intoxicated in 2002 and again in 2003. Because a third DWI would be a felony, Mayr said Hernandez was charged in last year’s wreck with felony murder, which carries a sentence ranging from probation to 99 years or life in prison. He had been released from jail on $100,000 bond.He was going to be tried for murder following the precedent set by ADA Warren Diepraam years ago. Now it's all a moot point because Hernandez was killed in a crash. He was a passenger in a car that hit a light pole. The driver was . . . drunk! Talk about Karma!
