Not my usual crime related post, but this one just annoyed me more than you can imagine.
Those reading Byron Shane Carpenter's obit were probably divided on their feelings. Those that knew and loved him may have felt some pain and grief over their sudden loss. But something tells me that MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) was less than impressed, and more angry than sad.
