DUI simply has to stop as this bike riders family lost a cherished dad to love :ccry:
Kathleen Boland, a drunk driver who struck and killed a motorcyclist in Milwaukee last summer during the Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary Celebration, was sentenced on Monday to spend the next decade of her life in prison. Boland plead guilty in January to homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle in the death of motorcycle rider Michael Fleming of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Boland's blood alcohol level was estimated to be at .232 percent at the time of the accident. In addition to 10 years in prison, Boland must serve five years of extended supervision after her release.
"This is a tragic event that has brought together the biker communities of Ann Arbor Michigan and Milwaukee," noted Steve Johnson of ABATE of Wisconsin, a motorcycle rights and safety organization. "ABATE of Wisconsin set out to make sure the death of a visitor did not go unnoticed and that it did not get lost in the system."
"It is our hope that everyone enjoys a safe riding season in 2009 and that motorists share the road with motorcyclists," said Attorney Michael F. Hupy. "Preventing tragedies like this requires everyone on the road to be aware and take responsibility for their actions."
