Summary
A driver high on cocaine, sixteen times over the legal limit, slammed into a cyclist, killing him in a preventable crash. The judge called it “deeply selfish,” as dashcam footage showed erratic, speeding behavior. The cyclist’s wife, grieving nearly a year later, described the unbearable loss of her husband—planning their honeymoon, a 34-year marriage—and the toll on her family. Booth’s defense called it a “stupid mistake,” but the judge stressed the gravity of his choice, noting Neil was visible and avoidable. Booth gets six years in prison and a five-year driving ban—highlighting the devastating cost of impaired driving. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
