Agree with Mike. "Alleged." This is so far based upon news reports, and we all know how authoritative those are. Legally, there's no "confession" to any crime. Just an excuse. It's murky and very suspicious. Why the delay? Unanswered in the news reports is whether drugs, alcohol, pot, etc., is a factor, or whether there was any suspicion or testing. Time and the proceedings will tell. Meantime, it's important to keep focusing on this, keep it in the public awareness and force the DA to elaborate. If the DA's office is the problem, then there's where the pressure needs to be applied.

I'm sticking with "alleged". "Falling asleep" is the best form of defense against serious traffic charges. Texting, among other things, can cause the same sort of drifting that occurred. And really did he fall asleep within a mile or so of his home on Woodland?
