Lawyer for Obama's uncle questions cop's driving



FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (AP) -- The defense for President Barack Obama's uncle is challenging the driving record of the police officer who arrested him on suspicion of drunken driving.

Onyango (ohn-YAHN'-goh) Obama, an illegal immigrant, briefly appeared in Framingham District Court on Thursday. His lawyer said he's investigating whether the officer has a pattern of poor driving.

Officer Val Krishtal arrested Obama, the half-brother of the president's late father, in Framingham in August. Krishtal said Obama made a rolling stop at a stop sign and nearly caused his cruiser to crash into Obama's sport utility vehicle.

Krishtal said Obama registered 0.14 on a blood-alcohol test, higher than the state's legal limit of 0.08.

Obama's lawyer also is seeking to suppress those results and evidence from the traffic stop.

Krishtal totaled his cruiser in November while responding to reports about gunshots.

What the fuck does it matter what the cop's driving record is? This immigrant was driving drunk and got caught doing it !

OJ's "dream team" started that let's-put-the-cop-on-trial defense tactic with Mark Fuhrman. They were able to shift the focus of the trial away from their client and got OJ a not guilty verdict. The judge in the case didn't have enough balls to keep his courtroom from becoming a three-ring circus.

Since then, every douchbag lawyer in the world has tried it with varying degrees of success.

Had this been a illegal mexican, he'd be on a fucking bus right now heading to the border.

I don't give a fuck who it is, he broke the law and he needs to go home. Didn't he have another family member he got a green card for?

I wouldn't know, I haven't kept up with this story enough or this illegal's bg to know what he did. Still its some broke back bullshit though.

Does anyone else find it comical that our president has relatives that are illegally here? If it was Bush, he would have been lynch-mobbed already.

Comical, but far from funny.

Exactly.

You can tell how desperate the defense is when they subpeona the officer's IAD records.
