Yes the news is stupid. They do not know if he was driving. They said that he was but that has not been proven. Dont take everything you read as the facts.

You really do not know what you are talking about!!!!!!

[broken heart]

You take life for granted everyday. Well try eating thanks giving dinner, spend a birthday alone, or open christmas presents with a family member missing that youll never see again that is always suspose to be there. None of yall will know how it feels!

[beaufort]

what does the grandad have to do with it. Is it just because he is the biggest lawyer in the county. He wasn't involved in the wreck so why is his name all in the write ups in the newspapers. If his name was not wheatly it would not even be mentioned again it would be just another accident. The comment on how many people the wheatly r going to kill are all of the wheatly supposed to be punished for one mans actions.

FIRST OF ALL, CLAUD WHEATLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE(S) WITH JOHN WHEATLY AND BY SAYING THAT AND I QUOTE HE HAS HELPED SOME LOCAL JUDGES KEEP THEIR JOBS, WELL THAT IS HIS JOB AFTER ALL HE IS A LAWYER..BY SAYING THAT JOHN HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING OFF BECAUSE OF THAT IS CRAZY. JOHNS ALCOHOL LEVELS WERE BELOW THE LEGAL LIMIT. KNOWS ONES KNOW WHO WAS DRIVING AND BY SAYING HE WAS IS UNPROFESSIONAL, HOW ABOUT STATING THE FACTS AND NOT ADDING A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT SO EVERYONE WILL READ. "A 2005 Observer investigation found that prominent lawyers in firms including Claud Wheatly's helped some local judges get and keep their jobs -- and rarely lost DWI cases when they went to trial before those judges. Carteret County's judicial district had the lowest trial conviction rate for DWI cases."

[LAKENMLEWIS]

ALSO PUTTING JOHNS OTHER FAMILY MEMBER INTO THIS IS UNPROFESSIONAL..WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE OTHER ACCIDENT IS JUST WHAT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT..IF ANYONE COULD GO BACK TO THAT NIGHT IT WOULD BE EDDIE, HE HAS RELIZED HIS PASTED MISTAKES AND HAS PAID DEARLY FOR THEM. HE SPENT OUT HIS TIME WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM HIM.

WOMAN YOU ARE NUTS...GET A LIFE..

It has not been proven that John was driving the car. If he was and had anything in his system than he may be found guilty. They have reported that he was driving. They still do not have any proof.

[foxracer9]

Becky, the 19 year old that was killed was basically my sister. I grew up beside her all my life She was NOT driving. Yall need to keep your comments to yourself and not judge my sister. He is the one that has had 7 DUI's before and his cousin killed a girl a couple years back. My sister was innocent and now she is sitting in a little wooden box and he is living his life to the fullest.

John has never had seven dui's. John has never even had a dui or been charged with one. Your info is very bad. Why don't you try to not make this worse by putting out bad info.

Seven dui's? What the hell is wrong with you? He has never had a dui. He did not even have any alchol in his system the day of the wreck. Get a clue!!!!

DONT JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE UNTIL YOU KNOW THE FULL STORY AND IF YOU DONT (WHICH I KNOW YOU DONT) THEN STAY THE F**K OUT OF IT AND GO BABYSIT YOUR KID(S)!
