I have been inquiring recently why the State of Ct. has in the past charged 2 impaired diabetic drivers in cases where police officers were struck. So far only Senator Guglielmo has taken an interest in my questions by asking for a Legislative investigation as to why the man that struck and killed Patrick has not been charged, the state will not even give Wilfred Lebeau a traffic ticket.
So tell me, do you see preferential treatment here???
Officer Agosto killed in Greenwich, CT 11/1989 by an impaired diabetic. The driver was arrested on the spot.
Officer Ludemann was struck in Enfield, CT 2002 by an impaired diabetic. The driver was charged.
12/5/2007 Patrick J. Smith was struck and killed by Wilfred Lebeau. Mr. Lebeau went to the hospital and later on in the day went home. He admitted to hospital personnel he self medicated, didn’t check his glucose levels, didn’t have a glucose meter in the truck, didn’t take a full meal with his insulin AND administered an amount of insulin “based on how he felt”…
Mr. Lebeau also left he scene of the crash only to cause a second accident 1/4 mile up the road.
Somehow Governor Rell, States Attorney Kane, District Attorney Gedansky and everyone else involved cannot see an obvious conflict here and I am going to keep asking louder and louder until somebody can give me an intelligent reply.
I have sent complaints to the OFFICE OF THE VICTIMS ADVOCATE in Hartford, the Governor, every newspaper and TV station I can think of and yet there has been no interest in my brothers plight or my families anger.
