Drunk Drivers

In December of 2007 a cement truck driver, Daniel Tschetter of Cochrane Alberta, rammed into the back of a northbound Chrysler Intrepid was stopped at a red light located at the intersection of MacLeod Trail and 194 Avenue Southwest in Calgary. Killing all five occupants of the car. Tschetter was uninjured.

Calgary Police have charged the 50-year-old driver of a cement truck with five counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death in connection with Friday night's crash on the southern edge of the city. The driver was also charged with refusing to provide a breath sample. Police believe alcohol and excessive speed were factors in the crash.

"Excessive speed is one (factor) indicated by a number of witnesses." said police duty inspector Guy Slater . "He (the truck driver) refused to provide a breath sample. There were indicators to the officers that alcohol may have been a factor."

Well Tschetter was convicted of five counts of manslaughter. Now lets call it what it is, murder. There's no excuse anymore. Tschetter is a murderer. He schould be sentenced to five life sentences. But not in Canada.
