Back to reading...

Yup. As has already been noted, it's the same as the "only a couple" answer on DUI checkpoints. As a public service - the answer is never "only a couple". That's exactly the answer the officer is looking for. The answer is always 'none'. I don't care if you throw up on the guy first, the answer is still none.

Absolutely. And the author knew it.

"Dart and about 4 dozen of his extended family" sounds a lot better than "50 !@#$ing people" because anyone that's ever been on a float knows how those work out.

Based on what we have here, I just don't see how you can convict this guy of 2nd degree murder.
