I know there was a thread in the off beat news section, but considering that he has been charged I thought it should be here. Let me know if I'm wrong

MARIETTA, Georgia (AP) -- A drunken driver who veered off the road and decapitated a friend was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday.

John Kemper Hutcherson, 21, pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide in the death last August of 23-year-old Frankie Brohm, whose head was severed when the car grazed a telephone pole support wire.

It's sad because it was his friend.
however, his friend Frankie, made a bad choice as well,
and unfortunately for Frankie that resulted in his own death.

Thankfully, No one else was killed.
Like an instant bystander, or a person
at the wrong place at the wrong time.
