Wow, let me educate you. They took blood from Brittany at AMC, it came back neg. of anything. And Brittany had only been hanging around him 3 weeks, there for I don't believe she had been racing all her short life. Enthusiast for speed, your lack of intelligent's is simply amazing. Brittany was scared of going fast. And Tag along, lets choose our words with more respect, Cory picked her up from her house. No one is speaking of things untrue but you. Let the fact be known, Cory was legally drunk, and had two narcotics in his blood, non of which he could provide legal prescription. Or at least that is what forensics testified. Let me dummy this down for you, so you can comprehend this aspect. He was wasted in your terms. And he was charged accordingly. You cannot speak for Brittany for she is no longer with us. So lets refrain from fiction statements as yours.

Okay, so from what I'm reading the big debate is over these men being intoxicated, and having narcotics in their system? How about the fact that Brittany herself had been drinking that night as well? I do believe she was 18..making it even more of a situation. I honestly do not believe that Brittany had any reason not to trust these men..She had been with them before in similar situations and chose to continue to tag along telling me one thing..maybe, just maybe she was a little more of an enthusiast for speed than her family was aware of. There's no doubt that this is a bad scenario all the way around, but just because one is gone doesn't mean that the remaining 3 should spend life behind bars. You guys continue to speak things that are not proven, let me ask you this. If Britt were here, would this be what she wants? To see her friends, whom she cared for dearly behind bars?

To all of those people out there who keep calling this an accident, think about this, yes it might have been an accident, but if someone accidently shot your child, or loved one, or accidently crashed into them and killed them, would you be so apt to say it was an accident let them go with no punishment? I doubt. So like we always say put yourself in their shoes for a day, or even a minute and know the person who killed you loved one is free, and unpunished to maybe accidently kill again!

To Nick: For someone who talks about not showing ignorance you sure show alot of it yourself. Last time I check and amount of marijuane was illegal, just like the drag racing that killed Brittany. Seems to me Cory needs a dose of reality himself, since he clearly has no idea what ILLEGAL means in any form, and evidently you don't either. And show the ignorance here, driving while intoxicated doesn't always mean alcohol. In mean intoxicated! On whatever you have that is once again ILLEGAL in your system.

Too bad I know Cory and he wasnt intoxicated. Imagine that! The blood test showed marijuana in his system which was deemed so minute they will likely drop it in court. You people act so ignorant towards these men. You dont know all the facts, just what the lopsided media reports. Yes it was a bad situation. But it was an accident. None of these men left that night intending for anyone to lose their life. You have no idea what it feels like to be in his situation. So until you set foot in his shoes keep your ignorance to yourself.

Imagine that! Intoxicated!!!! Everyone wants to defend him and the other fools that were racing. What a bunch of trash. My belief is that they will pay for what they have done! God Bless her and her family! They forget so easy cause they get to see and spend all this time with their families, well hopefully it won't be for long and the judge will see to it that they get to look at 4 brick walls for a very long time. Set meal times, no girlfriends, no drinking, NO DRIVING & for god sake NO RACING!!!!!! Sounds good to me!!!
