Yet another lawyer doing my chosen profession proud
Terry J. Record, a 26-year-old Indiana Department of Health lawyer, has gotten himself into a little bit of trouble. Last October, his car was involved in an accident with another vehicle, and the other driver died. Cops found Record’s Beamer flipped over, and witnesses said the BMW ran a red light. Record wasn’t found at the scene of the crime, however, and he told cops that the car may have been stolen. However, he also told the cops that he had been at a strip club where he had four drinks, but of course claimed he took a cab home.
At the time, Record had just started working for a county prosecutor. He had been there but a week (although he was an intern back in 2005, while still in law school) when he was fired, after his prosecutor bosses questioned him about the incident and found his story to be inconsistent. He’s now been arrested over the accident, facing a preliminary charge of driving a car while drunk and causing a death, and he’s currently sitting in the clink with bond set at $100,000.
What makes this guy extra-special (as if drunkenly driving into someone and killing them wasn’t enough) is this peach of a statement he made to the cops back in October: “I hope the guy has insurance to fix my car.”
It’s that kind of compassion and overall humanity which makes lawyers so loved by the general public.

You're confusing three different events. In October, he flipped his car when he hit an unoccupied vehicle. He later confessed to police that he left the scene and filed a false "stolen vehicle" report. No charges were filed. Then his vehicle was suspected of hitting and injuring a pedestrian in December. No charges were filed. THEN he killed a guy on Sunday, and commented that he hoped the guy had insurance. Now he's finally behind bars.
