Lin, Please make sure you are taking your medication before you post comments on sites such as this. I am sure your analyst would advise you of the same.

I just wish people would think before they post comments! Just think about what you are saying especially about the young lady/daughter/sister/friend who was killed! I have no sympathy for Shannon Houser the fact is he hit a person and then ran. This trial will not give the family and friends of Connie Blount justice!

I would like to say that I have been praying for both families. It is a horrible thing to loose as child as my family has. I also pray that the Blunt family can somehow realize that the man that they are to prosecute is not the monster they are trying to paint him as. What happened to Connie Blunt was Horrible, however in all of this pain, her parents need to realize that Her actions are responsible also. The very fact that this man is NOT being charged with a murder charge emphasizes this. Is it right to take a man from his child because of another's actions even if it caused their own demise? There are multiple reasons why Connie Blunt is no longer with us, the courts, investigators and police konw it. Shannon Houser is not the only one,.
