“We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of Mr. Bright, who was a good man and a loving and attentive father to his two children. It’s a scary thought that during a routine drive, while following the law and doing nothing wrong, a life can be cut short so suddenly because of one person’s decision to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. We are doing all we can to support Mr. Bright’s family as they grieve and deal with the permanent repercussions of Ms. Jones’ decision. We will fight to uncover all the details about what happened that night, hold the responsible parties accountable and deliver a measure of justice for a family whose loved one was unjustly taken from them.”
