So just to set the record straight...from someone who knows the ACTUAL story.
This accident happened not only to the victims, but to Glenn as well.
If you look at the accident reconstruction or have ever been in any type of boating accident yourself-you could see how he had no idea that he had hit
anything more then perhaps a log or some floating debree. Just look at the minimal amount of damage there was to his boat. Let alone the size of his
in comparison to the victim's.
Also-no where in any of the articles will you read that the Maher boat was out, at night, with no lights on their boat. NONE.
Nor will you read of the countless witnes's that knew he had not arrived into town that day until well into the evening hours (so he couldn't have
been arrogantly daring people to race him throughout the day), nor will you see the statements given by the restaraunt that he was at for the evening,
or by the people that were in his boat that he was by no means intoxicated, and he had only drank 2 beers throughout the course of the evening.
You will not read of the morning that he saw the description of his boat and went to the authorities himself thinking it may have not just been a log
that he hit.
Nor will you read of his 100% cooperation.
You will not read of the corruption (and now, resignation) of the detective that botched the investigation.
And finally, you will not read of the man himself that lost everything that he worked his entire life to earn because of an accident. His home, his
job, retirement, his freedom, his dignity, and his faith in our judicial system.
Nor will you read of the one thing that he is greatful for...the fact that no one on the Maher's boat was killed. He thanks God everyday for that.
And trust me...for those that seemed so worried that the Maher's would not be compensated....they just settled their civil suit WELL into the
millions. Glenn is not bitter for this either-he feels as if they deserve that.
He is dissappointed in our judicial system and the life that he had to give up. here is a man- a good man-whose has lost his entire life because the
media portrayed him to be an arrogant, drunk, rich man who cared about no one other then himself. This could not be further from the truth.
So...next time you are out on the water...say a little prayer .
This could have been any one of us.
In a matter of seconds.....anyone's life could be altered...so please don't be so quick to judge. |
I think you are full of it. A 40 foot boat runs over the top of a 21 foot boat and the driver doesn't know it? I say B.S. I say the only way he
wouldn't know that he had RUN OVER a 20 foot boat is if he was totally wasted stupid freaking drug off his arse - in which case he was guilty as
any ways.
And you say he turned himself in? Did he do it the next day? Because the news of those poor people being rammed into by a hit and run driver was
plastered over the entire tri-state area news- it was on the news EVERYWHERE! But the guy who did it just happened to not watch the news for the next
week or so? Or is he so dumb that he just didn't put 2 and 2 together. "Gee, some people were run over by a 40 foot go-fast in the same area and
time where my 40 foot Go-Fast ran over something the other night." Gee, but it can't be me who hit them?
This jerk ran over these poor people, left them there to die, and then tried like to get away with it. Dont even think we are buying your revision
of the facts. LAME

I honestly could care less if you "buy" it. I know this firsthand. So does Glenn.
And regardless...we all have only one judge in life...
i don't think your Him.
And just so you know....it was no where near a week later that he called to inquire. But, typical.
Do you believe everything that you see on the news?
How do you think they had the name of the boat so quickly?

???.s for snlvbird
Just two question's to start with! I think you said very little damage to the "Go Faster" Did'nt one of the out drives become a serious problem
.I.E. just hanging on the boat! There are witness'
Was the boat loaded on the trailer where it was launched or several miles up river at a small remote ramp that the Mayor of the town came down and
offer'ed help. (and got the name of the boat). Later that night there was an encounter at a Gas station when they were asked about the damage to the
boat by just customers late at night.
Oh! by the way they got the name of the boat. etc. etc.
