San Diego DUI fatality leads to 20 year sentence
After killing a pedestrian in Pacific Beach earlier this year, a San Diego man will face 20 years to life for second-degree murder.
46-year-old ALan Lester Mabrey was convicted of a second-degree murder charge along with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and hit-and-run in a February 7 accident. The accident took the life of 24-year-old Emily Cathleen Dowdy.
Dowdy was attempting to cross the street when she was struck; she died in the hospital the following day from injuries sustained in the accident. While Mabrey admitted fault, he also held firm that he had committed an accident and not a murder. He asked for mercy from the court, but Judge Charles Rogers handed down the maximum sentence.
Mabrey was driving a Dodge Ram that evening and admitted to drinking beer all night with a friend. Mabrey left the site of the collision after he struck Dowdy, but he did return about an hour later. Reports say he went to Burger King to eat in the meantime.
When tested after returning, Mabrey's blood alcohol level was .22%. This was about an hour and a half after the collision, but it is difficult to say if it would have been higher immediately following or had actually gone up in the lapsed time. This depends on when Mabrey had his last drink.
Adding to the sentencing, Mabrey has been convicted of DUI twice in the past, once in Texas and once in Colorado. His most recent arrest was only 1 year before the accident. The Texas arrest was a felony, and Mabrey did serve time in jail. Though murder charges are a relatively new way to prosecute DUIs, they have become increasingly common in extenuating circumstances.

Abandoned quarry site of party for teen DUI driver
Vacant buildings located at an abandoned granite quarry in Harmony Grove, near San Diego, have been declared a public nuisance since teens admitted to throwing underage drinking parties at the location.
Local teens refer to the area as the "hideout." The hideout was the site of a party that was held prior to the death of one teen last week. 18-year-old David Hodson died at the hands of a 17-year-old driver when they were leaving the party. The driver is facing manslaughter charges. As a result of the incident, the vacant buildings will be boarded up or destroyed. Counties surrounding San Diego have been shocked by the deaths of a number of teens due to suspected drunken driving in the past few months.
The owner of the property, according to a report from News 8, is New Urban West. This property developer plans on using the area to build a residential neighborhood. In part due to a slow in new home construction, the area has remained vacant for an extended period.
Though New Urban West says the property is gated and secured, eyewitnesses testify the buildings are littered with beer cans, bottles and other evidence of trespassing. County code enforcement officers visited the site and then declared it a public nuisance. This declaration means the owner will have a short time to properly secure the buildings or they will be torn down and the developer could be fined.
