The bottom line here is that M.K. should NOT have been on the road at all. He was breaking the law by driving period, not to mention all the other aspects of this case. To blame the bus driver is assinine! You put someone w/ 20/20 vision out there in the same situation and the outcome will be the same! Blaming someone who cannot defend himself becuz he was murdered by this POS truck driver is just… disgusting. I hope M.K. suffers greatly in this life .. KARMA is a.. well you know..

Brandon: Thank you for taking the time to comment. I didn’t say Rasmus bore no responsibility for the accident. But who made the bigger error? The NTSB re-created the accident, and determined a driver wouldn’t have seen the overturned truck in time to stop whether he was going 70 MPH, 65 MPH, or even 55 MPH. So what about the truck driver? You think it’s ok this guy fell asleep and flipped his truck over blocking the whole highway? A witness saw his truck weaving for miles before the accident. This means the driver knew he was sleepy, but rather than pull over and take a nap, he kept going, and he lost it. The accident never happens if the truck driver had acted responsibly. Dumbass? Whatever guy……….

dear Eric,
You are a f*cking dumbass. you think that this is all the truck drivers fault. mind you he did cheat his logs but how does a seperate wreck make him responsible for what a 78 year old man driving too fast for conditions did. Rasmus was driving to fast and outdriving his headlights making him the dipshit that killed the people, not the truck driver. Next time you make an assumption like that you should use a little common sense…

An update in this case. On July 31, 2009, the federal judge in this case, Barbara Crabb, ruled she made an error in instructing the jury, and has thrown out the conviction of Michael Kozlowski on the 5 false logs. Kozlowski has not been acquitted, the judge has scheduled a new trial. However, she raised the standard of proof, so it is doubtful the government will re-try the case.
