Gary Hosey, the man accused of driving drunk into a bus stop and killing four people, pleaded not guilty and waived his right to a speedy trial during a hearing Wednesday morning in Clark County District Court.

  1. He pleads "not guilty" and now we (taxpayers) have to pay for a trial to put this piece of trash away. This scumbag should go to prison for the rest of his life and sent to death row. This system is messed up.

  2. He was flashing wads of cash on Facebook. Now he's broke?

    Arrest record. Prior dumbass conduct. No drivers license. The pain and destruction this guy has caused. If the teacher got 6 years for maiming a person, then Gary should get a lot, I mean a lot of years behind bars.

  3. I would drop the DUI charges and just charge him with reckless driving resulting in death, 4 counts and resulting in severe injury. If the DUI is going to be an issue, which it could because of he conflicting test, why doesn't the DA go with what we know is a proven fact. If found guilty, Hosey would still be looking at 20 years.

    Im sure you have a much better system than our current one, please, elaborate on your flawless system of justice Mr. Sinatra.

    This is our system, it's not perfect but no system is. Let's be honest, it has a pretty damn good track record.

  5. I would suggest the public defenders have a conflict of interest in this case.

    If I could advise Hosey Jr. I would say look seriously at a plea deal and accept you will get a sentence of at least five years before you get parole.
    He has to admit some guilt to something, whether he was DUI or not. The public defenders are not going to pull out all the stops and call expert witnesses, they will do the minimum with their limited resources. The chances favor a conviction and if it goes to trial 10-20 years without parole is more likely.
