OK here's a question. The McDonald's employees were interviewed and they all said she did not appear drunk there. She argued with them and was confrontational, but was not drunk.
So she then had to drink AFTER McDonald's. She was seen pulling over trying to vomit AFTER McDonald's.
So something happened to then cause her to want to take drinks. She was not with Daniel in the same car.
So if something happened between them to make her want to drink, why wouldn't she have taken a drink BEFORE they went to McDonald's?
Was she getting all worked up over something that happened that morning at the campgrounds and then decided to drink after McDonald's to dull her feelings? And the liquor would not have made her want to vomit so quickly after consumption. Her nausea was more like a quick reaction to some ingested toxic substance.
By the way I appreciate the feedback... because my opinion is open to change if I read posts that make some good points. So thanks.
- Drunk people successfully order McDonalds food all the time... (I can attest to this myself (I was young once))
- DS drank a massive amount of alcohol that day as proven by two medical reports...one from the ME, and another from Daniel's own PI who sent DS's body fluids and other parts to their own lab for testing.
- At the time of the deadly crash DS caused, she had the equivalent of 10 shots of vodka in her system...she was seen earlier in the day by two groups of people pulled over and appearing to vomit, so who knows how much DS purposely drank that day.
- To suggest that the good folks working at Mcd's that morning became so enraged at DS's request for chicken nuggets (before their 11 am sell time) that they then spiked her food or drink with a mind-numbing toxic substance is more than a bit of a stretch for me, and I cannot consider it at all.
I love a good discussion, so can you relay why you cannot accept that a person could do what DS did that day? What is it? You seem (to me) to want to believe that a Mother could not purposely drink that much by choice because she knew she was driving children that day.
Sadly, all one has to do is read the thousands of threads here at WS to learn the indistupitable truth that some Mothers do infact commit horrible acts against their own children.
IMO, the facts are that DS did drink that much and knew she was driving children. Personally, I think she meant to take these children with her....and purposely drank that much to build up to actually doing it. I could believe that something set her off - some "issue" came up that day, or in the days leading up to it and she could not get past it and did the unthinkable. DS had a reason, the reason may never make sense to anyone other than DS, but it was enough of a reason to DS to allow her to do what she did that day.
p.s. glad you have power back - mine was out for six days, and I can say it was awful without it.
God Bless the people and animals effected by Hurricane Sandy.
