seems nice how u make this video BEFORE your court date. you talk about YOUR family this and YOUR family that. me and my family buried my sister on her 17th birthday because of YOU. this is the kind of video you make while or after you pay your debts. god bless my sister and her 17 year old friend.

Someone who deliberately murders someone deserves life in prison. Let's remember that the driver was not the only one drinking. I hope this PSA prevents others from making the same mistake so this accident doesn't happen to someone else. I also pray for all involved that they may rid their lives of their bitterness and find peace.

There was one person in the car that was not drunk but he didn't feel like driving. This kind of stuff happens all the time in our town and no one ever learns.

@LazrLu  Wow you are sooooo funny........what a d-bag

[LazrLu]

hey, dean.....made any prison "friends" yet?

[LazrLu]

people say they all got in the car, like that makes each person in car responsible. RIDING drunk is not against the law. DRIVING drunk is.

@jasonndauna She made a decision to get in that car that night- and was also drunk!! You mean to tell me you've never driven drunk??? They were all drunk and Dean just happened to be the one driving.

People just STFU; he didnt kill ANYONE! Grow up! Killing someone is taking a knife and stabbing them or shooting them, shit like that! Stuff you do on PURPOSE, he DIDN'T do it on purpose. And Morgan & Malia; I'm sorry yall lost ur family, i've lost my sister to..same thing..she lived in Georgia..or whatever. I knew both of them they were cool but whatever HE DIDN'T KILL THEM!!! But whatever, I'm ALWAYS wrong right? And don't anyone say im a horrible person. k?; thanks.

@ stumoni----you are dillusional if you think your kids are not around alcohol, or have never experimented. If they havent yet, trust me, they will! It doesn't matter how often they go to church or how many lectures you give them, 98% of teens will try it at some time or another (according to statistics). Unfortunately, in this day and age our teens are succombed to peer pressure. I'm not defending Dean, he needs to serve his time and use it teaching others not to use drugs or alcohol.

We have all made stupid mistakes in life... only by the grace of God do we not walk in this guys shoes.... or in the shoes of the two that have passed. I hope others can learn from this. I pray for everyone involved...
