Parents Suing Over DUI Crash That Murdered A Couple

  In Charlotte, NC. we have an interesting story going on about the parents of a young couple that was killed in a drunk-driving accident accident last February,

   The parents are suing the teenager who killed their children ( Eddel Rivera, 23, and Richard Charles Bryant, 22 who had planned on getting married. The wrongful-death lawsuits were filed on Monday

     The one who did the drinking and driving got a whole 12 years in prison for his deeds when the punk should have gotten at least 12 years for each victim! I have no sympathy for any body who drives after drinking alcohol and my opinion is that they should be tossed into a place like Gitmo and kept there! Teenager or adult!  If you can't use enough common sense to not stay off of the road after a party at which you've indulged, then you have no business running around as a free individual in any circumstances.

Brock Franklin,19, a former Myers Park High School student, pleaded no contest in December to two counts of second-degree murder. He is serving a prison sentence of at least 12 years.

The lawsuits accuse three convenience stores of selling alcohol to teenagers who attended a party where Franklin and other teenagers were drinking on the night of the fatal wreck. They also accuse teenagers of using fake IDs to buy alcohol that was taken to the house where the party was held.

The families of Rivera and Bryant are each seeking in excess of $10,000 in compensatory and punitive damages.
