Saw on WRAL said it was the 3rd dui for Nidaie..
Yep, 3rd DUI! So tell me, what low life judge kept letting this low, low life go free again and again. The judge should also be charged! I am sick of DUI drivers and they should be charged with 1st Degree murder. Thats the way I feel and no one can change my mind. I feel so bad for the family of the man that was killed. A hard worker killed in the prime of his life by a low life turd.
I read he was charged with 3 this year but none of them have verdicts yet. SMH. Unfortunately, the ridiculously slow court system here played a part in this innocent man dying. No reason these cases should get continued for so long. Not one could be considered in his bond bc he is “presumed innocent” SERIOUSLY SUCKS BIG TIME. I hope he rots in prison forever. I agree. I view DWI’s as premeditated as well
“Seydina Ousmane Nidaye” obviously not “of” Clayton. Wonder where he is “of” though. Only 27 and already 3 DUI’s? This should definitely be charged as a premeditated murder, because he knew when he got behind that wheel that there was a good chance he could kill somebody. And look what happened!! He should at the very LEAST be sentenced to life without parole.
I totally agree with all of the above comments!
I have no sympathy for people who drive with revoked licenses, no insurance, fictitious tags and worst yet – driving while intoxicated. Multiple violations for this man. Corporal punishment seems fair in this case.
Doesnt matter where “he’s” from, its a dui case. In case you’re blind, you are not the only one that lives in johnston county or on this earth!
GG try to atleast make sense this sorry person needs life without parole
