To whom it my concern,
 
        Hello, I am Heather, and I'm 13 and I have to say something about how long that dude should go to jail. Well, here I go. My cousin Mary, and her UNBORN baby were killed by a drunk driver. And she was not ready to die she had so much to live for. She didn't even know what life was yet ... and she had to go. He went into the bar knowing that he was going to drink, he got in his car knowing there was a chance that he could or someone could get killed. Have he ever heard of the saying "DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. There is no way he is going to get about 8 and a half years. He should be put in for live!!!!! He killed someone that we all loved. She was only 18 years old. And she told me when I was growing up, that she wanted to get married and have a house full of kids, and be a stay at home Mom, She didn't even get to hold her first one. Do you have kids? How would you like that to happen to you, to not even be able to hold your first children? Wouldn't that have hurt you? Just think about how her family, and friends feel. When my Mom walked in the house crying and said "Mary's dead." I was so shocked. I didn't cry till the day that she was being buried. Now I grew up with Mary all my life. She wasn't only my cousin she was my best friend. She was someone I could go to. And now she's not here. But cause of that drunk driver. Just think if your Mom or you dad was killed by him, how would you feel? Wouldn't it just make you wanna kill him? Well, it did me. How long would you want him to got to jail? Well, I want him to go for LIFE. He took hers so he should be looked up for the rest of his life. My friend Ryan and her (this is funny but) They used to play the song I'm having the time of my life, and Ryan would sing the guys and Mary would sing the girls. He told me that and it just bout back all these memoirs that I shored with her. How I got so mad at her really easy, over stupid stuff. But, she was the only one I could talk to she knew all my secrets, all my dreams. she told me I could do what ever I put my mind to. And I loved her so much. I think for now on I'm going to spend most of my time up there talking to my self, Well to her. And I'm going to keep her updated on my life. Well, I know she can see me, but I would still wanna tell her. Every night I set there by my bed and pray that this never happened, and she was still alive, so I could tell her what is harping in my life, who's the new boy I like. Who's my new best friend. And just everything. and this is the first time I really told anyone how I feel about the whole thing. It just hurt me so bad. I just want him to know how much he hurt all of us and what it feels like, to be hurt so bad. there were over 300 people at her funereal. Just think how many more people he hurt, by drinking and driving.   But that's all I really have to say.
 
Sincerely,
Heather Marie Bond
 
. P. S. All I ask for is that he goes to jail for the rest of his life.....

To who it may concern:
I want to write about my cousin Mary and her unborn child.   I must warn you, I am not a good writer and I jump from subject to subject so please don't mind.
I would like to start off what happened to me.   I was molested by an uncle by marriage.   I told, he ran, and was soon caught, but was caught with a fake ID.   He went to jail.   Three years for the fake ID, but only two for what he did to me.   Think that was fair?   I don't.   But thetas not what matters right now.......
I heard that the driver who killed my cousin Mary and her unborn child was only going to get six months for each who he killed and five for hurting my uncle, Burt.   Burt is alive and gets to finish living his life, hurt or not, but Mary died!  
She had just got married, never had and anniversary, never got to hold her first child.   She didn't get to see my sixteenth birthday, graduate High School, my first car, prom, nothing.  
I don't think he should just have seven years, but I don't think he should die himself either, but I want him in jail for a long time.
The guy that messed with me, Martin, is only going to be in jail for five years.   I'll be eighteen when he gets out.   Still young...vulnerable.  I didn't get justice with him, so please let me get it with Mary.   Please.
Thank-You for letting us write these letters.....this is the most I've told anyone in a while and I hope it does some good.
Mostly Grateful,
Victoria R. Bond

WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE FOR PEOPLE LIKE JACK WHEELER TO STOP DRIVING DRUNK?
THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY PEOPLE TAKEN OUT OF THIS WORLD BECAUSE OF DRINKING AND DRIVING.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
SO PLEASE SIT BACK AND THINK WHAT THIS HAS DONE TO EVERY ONE THAT KNEW MARY AND LOVED HER SO MUCH.
JACK WHEELER NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT HE DONE AND WHAT HE TOOK OUT OF PEOPLE LIVES.
I FEEL THAT HE NEEDS TO PAY THE PRICE FOR WHAT HE DID TO An INNOCENT GIRL AND HER BABY, DON'T GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO TEAR SOMEONE ELSE `S FAMILY APART.
HE NEEDS MORE THAN JUST A FEW YEARS IN JAIL HE NEEDS LIFE AND NEVER BE ABLE TO HAVE PAROLE.
HE NEEDS IN JAIL FOR LIFE SO HE DON`T GET A CHANCE TO HURT SOMEONE ELSE.
PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH SO MUCH TODAY AND ITS UNFAIR THAT THEY STILL.
SO PLEASE THINK BEFORE HE HAS A CHANCE TO HURT SOME ONE ELSE.

Belpre man indicted in woman's death
 
The man driving the pickup truck that killed a pregnant woman and injured another passenger on Ohio 821 on Oct. 8 has been indicted by the Washington County Grand Jury. The grand jury charged Jack Wheeler Jr., 45, of Belpre, with two counts of third-degree aggravated vehicle homicide and one count of third-degree aggravated vehicular assault. Washington County Prosecutor Jim Schneider said Wheeler was found to be driving under the influence that night. "A blood test shows he was under the influence," said Schneider. "He had marijuana and alcohol in his system." Wheeler's 1997 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck went left of center while traveling southbound on Ohio 821 north of Marietta. The truck hit a 1993 Honda Accord and killed Mary Sanner, 19, of Caldwell, and her unborn child. One of the indictments against Wheeler is for causing the death of Sanner's fetus. She was in her second trimester when she died. The collision also caused severe injuries to the backseat passenger Burt Huntsman, 36, of Macksburg. Huntsman was transported to Columbus and remained in a rehabilitation complex until Thursday. He suffered several injuries to his head, hand and his right leg. Neither Barry Sanner, 24, driver of the Honda nor Wheeler sustained serious injuries from the accident. Lieutenant Rick Zwayer, spokesman for the Ohio Highway Patrol, said the accident could have been prevented. The Ohio Highway Patrol reported that 1,200 people have died in car accidents this year. One-third of the deaths had something to do with a driver under the influence of either drugs or alcohol. Schneider said Wheeler had previously been convicted of drunken driving, but his history of driving under the influence would only be mentioned during the sentencing procedure if he's convicted.

 

Driver gets five years in prison for death of pregnant woman imes

A driver who pleaded guilty to killing a pregnant woman was sentenced Friday to five years in prison and fined $800 along with receiving a 10-year license suspension.

Jack R. Wheeler Jr., 45, of Belpre was sentenced after agreeing to plead guilty in the death of Mary Sanner, 19, of Caldwell. At the sentencing before Washington County Common Pleas Court Judge Ed Lane Wheeler expressed remorse for the accident after statements were made by Sanner’s family.

Prosecutor James Schneider defended his decision to accept a plea bargain with Wheeler despite objections from Sanner’s family.

Sanner died from injuries sustained in the accident on Oct. 8 on Ohio 821 just north of Devola. He was originally charged with two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and one count of aggravated vehicular assault.

On July 8, Schneider entered into a plea agreement approved by the court that allowed Wheeler to plead guilty to one count of aggravated vehicular assault. On Friday, Wheeler received the maximum sentence he could have received on the one charge.

Schneider said the decision to accept the plea agreement came because he wanted to ensure that Wheeler would be punished for the accident, and he was concerned about some of the evidence in the case not being enough to get a conviction on all three charges. He agreed that some of the members of Sanner’s family expressed concern that Wheeler should have gone to trial.

“Whatever happened at the sentencing, it would not be enough. What happened was very sad. I wanted the guy off the streets, and I accomplished that,” Schneider said.
