Pretty powerful video. Of course the skeptic in me is surprised that this appears to be a fairly well produced video and not just some dude with a webcam. It makes me wonder if his lawyers put him up to it thinking they would get him a reduced sentence. I mean this looks like a TV commercial. Perhaps it will be very soon.
However, in the video the man explains that he could have got off with a light sentence, or even none, if he'd took his lawyers advice and lied in court.
At any rate, I've never seen anything like it. I like the video itself. This article was just posted (video appeared Tuesday though I believe), but from what I've seen so far, it was a gutsy thing to do. I dunno I'm still thinking about it.
Just the video:

ETA: I have lost friends to drunk drivers and have no sympathy for them whatsoever.

A driver has confessed in a video posted online that he's to blame for a wrong-way car crash stemming from a night of heavy drinking that killed another man and says he's willing to take "full responsibility." The 3 1/2-minute video, posted on at least two websites on Tuesday, shows 22-year-old Matthew Cordle describing what led to the accident in which he killed the man three months ago. |
