Judge: Drunk Driver Must Carry Victim's Photo

BUTLER, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A woman who was drunk when she killed a man in a head-on collision must carry a photograph of the teacher in his coffin as part of her five years of probation, a judge ruled...prosecutors said Langston was drunk and talking on a cell phone in June 2002 when she crossed the center line and hit a pickup truck carrying Glenn Clark and his pregnant wife, Annette. He died, his wife remains in a coma and their son, born by Caesarean section five months after the crash, is being raised by relatives.

Well, good for the judge...speaking as someone who had a favorite cousin murdered by a drunk driver. Pity she doesn't have to carry a placard around saying "I'm a murderer," too.
