Manslaughter Conviction in Deadly TapouT Crash

Prison? The guy should get a reward.

Lock him up forever.

He should have done it in Florida, you only get 30 days for vehicular manslaughter there.

Doesn't this guy look like Joker Obummer with smaller teeth?
.

Caused the accident? Did this guy run him off the road? Mask's inability to drive like Mario Andretti while intoxicated is a more likely cause, and no one forced him to do it.

Too bad it couldnt of happened BEFORE he created TAPOUT

Good to know that Mr. Kirby was convicted -- I've been following the case and its infuriating that grown men like him race around with their shiny sports cars under the influence of alcohol and when the inevitable accident does finally happen, deny liability and say "it wasn't their fault". Unfortunately, when you choose to drink and drive or race, anything that happens because of your negligence and recklessness is on your head.

Kev is right, too bad this didn't happen before he created a multi million dollar business, that not only helped grow a sport, but also helped thousands, THOUSANDS, of fighters out of their own pocket. Why do people hate successful people so much? Does your life really suck that much? The man started a t-shirt company out of the back of his truck over 10 years ago, merely to make a buck and to help support a sport he loved. Now, its an empire. They sponsor fighters that have no money. Give them exposure. Anybody who knew Charles, knew what kind of an amazing individual he was. It is really disheartening to hear such spiteful people. It blows my mind how hateful people can be, especially with someone that had no direct negative effect on them. F*cking baffling!

I think it's dumb you can go to jail for having an ACCIDENT!
Now if the guy meant to kill him with the car, that's a different story.

The law ruins so many lives just because of an accident.

I recall reading that they were racing. Did Kirby in fact hit the Ferrari, or is he just guilty by association? Just asking.

Why is it Kirby's fault that Lewis can't handle his Ferrari? If Lewis was racing and crashed that's his own fault.

Why is it Kirby's fault that Lewis can't handle his Ferrari? If Lewis was racing and crashed that's his own fault.

Now I don't condone with racing, or agree with the law. However from what I remember, Kirby was under the influence at the time of the crash and actually hit Mask's car, which then hit a pole.

I agree with @Shane though, it was an ACCIDENT. Even if he was under the influence, there was no premeditation to kill Charles. To send him behind bars for over a decade is not right. Its crazy, this happens..Kirby gets 13 years. MJ dies, Dr. Murray gets nothing. Something is off here.

@ Doug,

You took the words right out of my mouth... spot on.
