     This article was written by Allison Klein on June 6, 2012. A mother and her 8 year old son wer walking on a mall playground when a drunk driver plowed his car into them. On Wednesday, he was convicted of manslaughter while driving under the influence.  He was found guilty immediately. The mother was in the hospital for weeks because she had broken both of her legs and her hip. She had lost her only son. 

     I chose this article because it grabbed my attention that a little innocent boy was killed. I have a cousin who is 8 years old and would be very devastated if anything were to ever happened to him. This article was very sad. It's really unfortunate how innocent people have to suffer because of the mistkaes of others. The article was well written and touching. I didn't "enjoy" the article because it was a sad topic but it was a good article.
