I will say that I was impressed with the story the defendant here came up with
the story the defendant here came up with. It's tough indeed for a guy on parole after a second degree murder conviction is outside his authorized 50-mile limit, evading police, and driving 124 miles per hour. Plus the whole cocaine part.
But he actually comes up with a pretty tolerable version of events.
Not one that the trial court believes, mind you. (Nor do I, to be honest.) But still. Fairly impressive. Better than the story I could have come up with under similar circumstances; that's for sure.
