Too much noise

I have been following the court case (not 100% conscientiously) about Jub Jub and the other fellow who were speeding / racing down the road and ploughed onto 6 schools kids; 4 kids died at the scene and the other 2 have been left mentally and physically handicapped.

Jub Jub and friend were dicing down the road in broad daylight and they were apparently also drunk and on heroin or cocaine. The thing that has kept me listening to this on the radio is that these guys have showed no remorse whatsoever and appear to feel quite hard done by. In fact, the case they have put forward is that they weren't driving fast and that they weren't drunk or drugged. Their attorney kept the police, who took the alcohol and drug tests, in the witness box for about 3 days and tried to discredit everything they said. They also tried to discredit the cell phone video clip of the race down the road and the collision. I listened to what the medical pathologists said about the death causing injuries and I would not have liked to be a parent in that court room…and the expert conclusion was that these injuries could only have been caused as a result of a collision at very high speed.

There is so much noise about the drugs, drink and speed and not enough about the fact that they were driving the cars that ploughed into 6 kids, killing 4 of them. There is no getting away from the fact that the cars belonged to them and they climbed out of them after the accident.

And here's the thing. These guys are guilty of killing the kids. Instead of trying to discredit the evidence, police, witnesses and experts surely there comes a time when the right thing to do is to just admit you did wrong; to take responsibility and be accountable for your actions. Surely there comes a time when they have to stop ducking and diving and making excuses for their actions. They chose to race their cars at high speed down the road; they chose to drink and take drugs. Someone needs to tell them to fall on their swords.
