SMART MOVE BY JUDGE IN DUI CASE

by Bob Walsh

There was a very nasty DUI collision in Stockton a few days ago. It shut down the major street in Stockton for hours and killed a well-liked local high school football player.

The suspected drunk driver had the right of way but was allegedly traveling WAY too fast when the T-boned the car the kid was ridding in. The suspect, Anthony Calderon, 31, was in jail against a $1 million bail. The judge just raised it to $2 million.

Calderon has no criminal priors except for one recent citation for doing 100+ph on Hwy 99 near Stockton, for which he was fined $508 dollars.

EDITOR'S NOTE: While I am glad to see the puke remain jailed, I think the Judge violated his right against excessive bail.

I was lucky to go 70 mph on the 99. I was potholed, pitted and unsafe 20 years ago.
