Florida Motorcyclists To Claim Their Anger in Lake County Court

A DailyCommercial.com news post reports the anger of Florida's largest motorcycle rights group, ABATE, at the public officials lining up to speak on behalf of Bruce Duncan, who is charged with DUI manslaughter in an October 2009 crash that killed a 61-year-old motorcyclist, Herbert "Steve" Muller.

Members of ABATE's Lake County chapter will turn out in great numbers on September 19th in Tavares, when former assistant public defender and assistant Lake County attorney Bruce Duncan will be sentenced.

Having heard that Florida State Representative H. Marlene, Circuit Judges G. Richard Singletary and T. Michael Johnson, Lake-Sumter Community College President Dr. Charles Mojock, Tavares City Administrator John Drury, Lake EMS Executive Director Jim Judge and 14 other community leaders are planning to testify in defense of Duncan. The motorcyclists' rights group feels the time has come to stand up against a gross attempt to hamper the course of due justice.

Abate's public relations trustee David Rich declared: "The pending testimony by these elected and appointed officials is nothing more than a total abuse of their positions. These government and community officials are put in their occupations to work in the best interests of taxpayers, not to defend the actions of a personal friend that got drunk, made the wrong decision to drive his truck, and allegedly caused a crash that killed a biker."

Duncan reportedly turned his pickup into Muller's path while driving home from a Florida Gators football game. He had a half-empty bottle of vodka in his truck and a blood alcohol concentration of 0.16, twice the legal limit.
