Case Scenario:
Question 1. For causing the fatal wreck that killed Army Sgt Thomas E Towsers Jr 22 year old Andreq Gaudioso was ordered to send the Soldier's family a post ever week for 15 years. According to Tower's father 'At first I thought I wanted prison for Gaudioso. Then I thought it would be better to force him some way to remember - at least once a week- what he did. I think this does that. The unusual sentence does not specify what Gaudioso should write on the post card, which must be presented to his probabtion officer with the 28 cents postage paid. Gaudioso, who had traces of street drugs in his blood when he veered left of center at more that 80 mph in the rain and smashed almost head on into Tower's car, must also pass drug tests. If he fails to send the weekly postcards, or if he fails the drug tests, Gaudioso could be sent to prison for 15 years.
