GF got 6 months for lending him the car.

Driver gets 38 years in fatal crash

By RON SELAK JR. Tribune Chronicle

A Geauga County judge Wednesday sentenced a Burton man to the maximum
38 years in prison for his part in the deaths of two Hiram college
students in a drunken driving crash in March.

Wednesday’s conviction of 47-year-old James Cline marked his 12th for
DUI.

Cline in July pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated vehicular
homicide, aggravated vehicular assault, fleeing and eluding and felony
DUI.

Cline was running from police when he struck the car head on, rolling
the teen’s vehicle into a ditch, police said.

Dead were Andrew Hopkins, 18, of Champion and Grace Chamberlain, 18. A
third student, Evan DaSilva, 19, of Rhode Island, survived, but spent
six weeks in the hospital and needed two months of rehabilitation for
his multiple broken bones and other injuries.

Cline’s blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal
limit in Ohio at the time of the crash.

Common Pleas Judge David L. Fuhry also sentenced Cline’s longtime
girlfriend for allowing Cline to borrow her vehicle, knowing that he
didn’t have a license.

11 time DUI kills 2 teens - gets 38 years in prison

11 previous DUIs? Why did this person even have a license??? I'm
assuming that at this point he didn't but was driving anyway. It never
ceases to anger me when innocent people are harmed/maimed/killed due to
another person's stupidity or incompetence. :-(

I thought that if you killed someone in the process of committing a
felony (running from the police), then it was automatic murder 1? They
use that against armed robbers and what not all the time.

And notice it says he's going to get a "maximum" of 38 years. So he's
really not going to get anywhere near 38 years.

It's not automatic but he prolly could have been charged with felony
murder. FM is not usually charged unless the underlying felony is a
violent one and DUI is an extremely violent felony, but mamy people
don't think of DUI that way.

Sounds like the nice young men in the white jackets need to adjust
SADDAM's medications. I reccommend adding pancuronium bromide to the
mix.
