WXII Tolly Carr church message- prelim DWI accident report

Tolly Carr's lawyer, David Freedman, presented the media with a DVD containing video of Carr speaking at Greater Cleveland Avenue Christian, a local Winston-Salem church, just a week (Sunday, March 18, 2007) after the fatal accident. Carr appeared to focus more on the affect his DWI accident had on his career and his own family than on the man whose life he took, Casey Bokhoven. He did not mention Bokhoven by name, but asked the church congregation to pray for the victim's family.

The WXII reporter noted that Carr did not apologize for his actions that took the life of Casey Bokhoven.

Also, a preliminary accident report was released, with these details of the accident in which Tolly Carr was involved: Carr went through the work zone barricade at Burke and West First Street at around 50 mph in his Ford 150 pickup truck, preceded down West First Street, veered off the road, went over a small wall, hit Bokhoven at 30 mph as he was standing on the sidewalk, then drug him 22 feet before crashing into a building. Bokhoven died under Carr's pickup truck.

Carr has been charged with DWI thus far, with more charges possible. Carr refused a Breathalizer test and was unable to perform simple field sobriety tests at the scene. Blood samples were taken and the results have not been released to the public as of this date. (March 25, 2007)

This was from the WXII 6 pm broadcast on Friday, March 23, 2007.

How arrogant. It's all about him. "I will come back and help." Who does he think he is? Pathetic.

[chrisbotron]

They left out his horrible comments about how "the victim's family" needs to overcome their anger

@darngood08 What do you expect? Alcohol -legal. Driving -legal.Does it matter how the guy died?What if he was just speeding or had his head up his ass texting.DUI homicide is horrible but once the guy serves his sentence,pays his fines and retribution and probably a wrongful death suit he will be square with the house.He will owe no one and frankly an apology would be nice but it's not required and neither you nor I have the right to judge him further.Ok, he's an asshole,so what?Aren’t we all

[darngood08]

@CComb501 are you kidding me? I wonder how you would feel if it was your brother or son that had been killed by this idiot? Your a scumbag!

[VajCakes]

Come on people, DEAD IS DEAD.Bokhoven's gone.Do you think he was oh so inocent all his life.How many more lives should have been destroyed.Enough is enough.There is greif counsling and support groups to help the family.Mr Carr has to live with this the rest of his life.Who'll be there for him?His life's over 2 Why the revenge and retribution seeking of this poor man.He is paying the price for his actions.When he's out of jail he will be square as he's paid what he owes.This by our own standards

[starrfisher]

whay arent the church members apaulled at what carr did instead of supporting him? you would think that they would hear heartlessness in his voice and support the victims. i don't care who you are that is just wrong. some people really got nerve.
