Not a jet boat. On calm water, I'd bet the little outboard would clean his clock. The Sun is a pretty heavy ride. But speed or boats isn't the issue here.

Nobody will know apparently what the real reasons were. Did he go after the little boat because of the drive by? The lights being out? Who knows. All they can deal with are two deaths and his BAL.

Regardless, I wonder why he still has any license or insurance with all those speeding tickets. All the jury can do is decide on the penalty for his drinking and the accident. They cannot speculate that he's a dangerous and arrogant person that needs to be taught a lesson, but we can. I guess that's why the justice system exists.
