Looks like some local d-bag got off. Anyone know this guy?

I guess the fact that he killed his friend in the passenger seat when a drunk driver ran the light in front of the street race he was participating in is enough... but it seems a little light from a legal standpoint to get away with just a reckless driving misdemeanor when two people died.

IMO, both the Subaru driver and dead pickup driver should have both been guilty of manslaughter. Just because the drunk driver ran the light does not excuse the street racer from the fact he was going well over twice the speed limit in a race.
