Trial date set for Glenda Rumsey in Jose Rincon’s death
Uncategorized May 27th, 2008
From the Tucson Weekly blog:
At Rumsey’s May 14 pre-trial hearing, more than 130 people filled Judge Richard Fields’ courtroom. Rumsey faces charges of second-degree murder, DUI and fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run after she allegedly went off the road and hit two bicyclists, Jose and his friend Oscar.
At the pre-trial hearing, Judge Fields set the trial date for Oct. 14, with a backup date of Jan. 6, in case the defense and prosecutors needed more time. He did warn both, however, that he wanted them to be ready by Oct. 14 and hoped they did not take advantage of the Jan. 6 date.

Ms. Herreras’ well-written April 03 article illustrates the agony forced on a fine family by an irresponsible drunken driver. I do not understand the judge’s leniency with the driving privileges.

The poor engineering should not garner mitigation for the drunken woman’s culpability.
Thank you for the article.
