When Swecker struck Canada with his car, Canada was launched 120 feet from the site of the impact. Swecker left the scene on foot and called his wife from a pay phone despite the fact that he had a cell phone in his pocket.<\/p>\n
Oh, by the way, he should have been jail from his last conviction when he was driving drunk at 80 miles an hour and at double the legal BAC.<\/p>\n
Court records show Swecker had two previous DUI arrests.<\/p>\n
A judge originally sentenced Swecker to six years in prison but he appealed his case and remained free. The appeal allowed for the six-year prison sentence to be reconsidered, a decision criticized by District Attorney George Brauchler.<\/p>\n
\u201cI respect the court and the process the court employed, but I respectfully and strongly disagree with the decision,” he said in a news release. \u201cHe ran over and killed an active-duty soldier, one who had survived a deployment to Afghanistan only to be run over by a repeat drunk driver.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
