terribly sad. also i find it horrible that the parents involved arent coming forward. i cant believe, but am glad, that the kids were recording some of this on social media. may the dead boys rest in peace and may those involved be held accountable.

If Ellis is to be treated like an adult so should Li and Murk be treated like adults. They were in the wrong, drunk, got in a car with an intoxicated driver, and didn't wear seat belts. You refer to Li and Murk as "kids" and "boys."

Please stop pretending to be so stupid. They're dead. It's too late.

But he's certainly welcome to state that he has been, and continues to completely cooperate with the authorities. The Montgomery County Police Department would no doubt be appreciative if that was true. The school principal might even have his own lawyer by now.

The following is from the most recent WUSA9 link above:
"This is a community that has lawyered up and shut down."

That right there is a scathing fact about the Wootton High School community, as well as any others involved in any possible cover up. It's a damn shame to tarnish the fine reputation of all the uninvolved families in the school community. They should speak out and demand full cooperation with the investigation.

The above news report continues:
"Police are convinced teenagers and parents with information about the party preceding the crash have not yet come forward to investigators."

"If you have information to share with police, please call 240-773-6620. You may remain anonymous."
Just do the right thing and call them.

Riding drunk in a car is not illegal. Driving drunk is. Huge difference.

It's not the "huge difference" you think it is. Look up contributory negligence and envision a legal scenario where the passengers' poor judgment of getting into a car with a driver known to have been drinking eliminates any $$ recovery (or recovery by the estate) in a suit against the driver.

I wonder how our very vocal defense attorney here would like to reduce the likelihood of another party drinker teen driver?

I don't think their reputation is tarnished.

Though your concern for their reputation is laudable, I guess.

Things will eventually start coming out. The guilt will eat inside some people. The parents that hosted the party will get their day and after all this hush hush, I hope they spend at least 6 months in jail for involuntary manslaughter and not just a fine they can easily write a check for. Because parents need to stop serving minors alcohol and the only way to get the cool parents to truly second guess themselves is to put them in jail. Fines mean nothing.

I know...I was at an event a week ago and witnessed a minor approach his parent and ask her to buy him a drink. Her response, "Are you driving?" And then she proceeded to purchase a beer for him. Total shock as I have never seen this behavior in what I considered to be responsible parents. I just don't get it!

More and more parents are afraid to say no. Their children are the ones who are most likely unable to say no, as well.

Parents need to band together (those who really care) and see the truth for themselves. "Everyone" is NOT going to the party. Just say no.

Just think how grateful are the kids who WEREN'T allowed to go to that fateful party one month ago. Kudos to their parents who just said no.

Where do you get this idea from? Actually teenage alcohol use is now at its lowest level since at least 1975.

But the parents say no and kids climb out windows.

OK. Then where do you get the idea that "more and more" parents are afraid to say no?

You may start another thread for yourself.
