Kenny Pawski

My neighbor's son was just involved in a fatality accident at Sand Lake this past weekend. Her son is in ICU with some pretty serious injuries. According to the news articles online alcohol may have been a factor. Online there are places to make comments on the articles. People are just vilifying my neighbor's son and saying horrible things. Which brings me to Kenny Pawski. Kenny is the young man/kid who hit our son-in-law head-on up in the hills. First reports said alcohol may have been a factor and boy the fun began. Friends of Jason's were vilifying Kenny. They were out for blood. Checked his myspace page and said it was proof that he was drunk. I saw his myspace page before Kenny took it down and there was nothing on there about getting drunk ever. His myspace page was extremely tame compared to a lot that I have seen. Tanya was asked by some friend what they should do with their "evidence" in regards to the prosecuter. She has been advised by so many people to sue this 19 year-old kid. Tanya had learned that if he was convicted of vehicular homicide (due to the alcohol) he would only get three years in prison and that made her angry. I'm not sure what she feels he deserves.
I'm sure that any time in prison is not the correct answer. My opinion is just my opinion and the laws are the laws so if something comes of this...it will be up to the law, lawyers and judge. I absolutely do not see how sending a kid to prison is going to do anyone any good. Won't bring Jason back and will certainly ruin a kid's life who is already serving a life sentence of his own. Anyway that said it turns out Kenny was not drunk. He did have a minuscule amount of alcohol in his system (which at his age is illegal, but not a factor in this accident). Says to me he probably had partied earlier, like the night before. Probably slept for awhile and then woke up and realized he needed to be home...work....someplace. And that is when he made the bad decision to speed on that road and then took that corner too fast. But he wasn't a drunk driver...he was a kid who made a poor choice and now lives with it forever. And all those people who were vilifying him were wrong.
