Dr. James G. Corasanti, the Getzville, New York physician who was driving drunk and reportedly texting when he mowed down (and killed) 18-year-old skateboarder Alexandria M. Rice has been fined $10,000 and put on five years probation by the New York State Department of Health, according to a story in the Buffalo News.
Corasanti, 56, of Getzville, agreed to a consent decree under which he may practice medicine only under the supervision of another licensed physician while he is on probation. He also must be monitored by a therapist and a sobriety monitor. . . The order goes into effect Monday. He may appeal to lift the probation after three years.
Corasanti must also undergo “random sobriety screenings” and enroll in an “ethics program.” We’re still hoping Corasanti gets at least his year in jail. He will be sentenced on August 16, 2012.

Good thing he’s rich! If someone ran him over with their skateboard and killed him, they would probably be getting the death penalty!
Working class people need to learn to stay out of the way of drunk, texting, rich a**holes.
another child murder goes free.
