SANTA ANA, CA - Richard Ernest Caselli, a driver under the influence of alcohol and cocaine was convicted yesterday of killing another motorist by crashing into the victim's car while speeding over 100 mph on the toll road. Caselli, 37, Ladera Ranch, pleaded guilty to the court May 11, 2010, to one felony count of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence while intoxicated. Caselli faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison at his sentencing July 30, 2010
At approximately 6:25 p.m. on Oct. 16, 2009, Caselli was speeding over 100 mph on State Route 73 in his Volvo sedan. The defendant was under the influence of alcohol and cocaine as he drove at a high rate of speed just north of Laguna Canyon Road. Caselli lost control of his car and crashed into a Nissan sport utility vehicle driven by 51-year-old Brook Boynton. The force of the crash caused the victim's car to spin out of control and roll, ejecting Boynton onto the right shoulder. The victim was killed as a result of his injuries.
Caselli's vehicle also came to a stop. When contacted by police at the scene, Caselli displayed objective signs of intoxication including bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech, and omitting an odor of alcohol. Approximately an hour and a half after the crash, Caselli had a blood alcohol level of .18 percent, more than twice the legal limit. The defendant also tested positive for cocaine.
Deputy District Attorney Jason Baez of the Homicide Unit is prosecuting this case.

California
Governor's Vital Signs Show Mild Murmur
In a speech to the Joint Session of the
Legislature today, the transcript
of Governor Schwarzenegger Addressing Joint
Session of State Legislature indicate the Governor's
willingness to propose "...once again to
eliminate and consolidate more than a dozen state
departments, boards and commissions. These include the
Waste Management Board, the Court Reporters Board, the
Department of Boating and Waterways and the Inspection
and Maintenance Review Committee and so on."
The
corps of lobbyists is California's third house –
Registered lobbyists outnumber lawmakers in Sacramento
8-to-1, then there are the government funded
unregistered lobbyists!
In
January,, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called
the state's massive budget deficit a "rock upon
our chest" and said the crisis must be resolved
before other policy issues are addressed. "The
truth is that California is in a state of emergency.
Addressing this emergency is the first and greatest
thing we must do for the people," the
governor said in his State of the State address before
a joint session of the Legislature. "The $42
billion deficit is a rock upon our chest and we cannot
breathe until we get it off."
