Jonny Dallo's Real Sentence...

An anonymous reader sends this word:
I just want to say about the whole Johnny Dallo situation that on your blog it says he got a year and he did but, I just want to say that at the end of it all--he didn't even serve that he barely served 2 1/2 months for killing Jodi and now he's getting married. Well just to let you know the 1 year came down to that. What ever sentence anyone gets it doesn't mean that's the time that there really going to serve it gets cut down.
Assuming this is accurate (I have no way to verify it), it gives the appearance of “justice” being purchased.

If you don't remember the Jonny Dallo case, read my previous posts on the matter. The short version: Jonny Dallo, a repeat traffic offender, was travelling down Campo Road (State 94) at around 100 MPH around 4 am on June 28, 2006. He rear-ended Jodi Burnett's pickup while she was in the left-turn lane, killing her. Jonny Dallo's father is a wealthy local businessman. Jonny was charged, but the case was plea-bargained down to a guilty plea for involuntary manslaughter and he was sentenced to one year in jail (a travesty all by itself).

Now this news.

Somehow I don't believe that I'd end up so lightly punished, were I to find myself in Jonny Dallo's position...

  1. You know what, I find myself thinking, who the fuck cares? I get this woman died. I bet it hurt her family and yes, he was responsible in the fact that he was speeding recklessly...but it was not ON PURPOSE and don't you think the person who kills someone that way hurts and blames themselves everyday? That it kills them to think they took a life? No, you don't. because you, and idiots like you think, hey this person got off lightly! But they didn't because they have to live with what they did and that's a bigger sentence than any stupid jail time will do to a person. get some brains because apparently you don't have any.
