Ironic?

Posted by Ian in crime & punishment on June 29th, 2008

Juan Manuel Alvarez attempted to commit suicide in January 2005.

His chosen method was to park his car on the railway tracks and wait for the train. However, he chickened out, and changed his mind at the last minute. However, he could not move the car, so he fled the scene to a friend’s house. His car was hit by a Los Angeles-bound train, which derailed and then ploughed into a train travelling in the opposite direction. 11 people were killed andf more than 180 injured.

Alvarez was found guilty of murder this week, and now faces the death penalty.

    Alvarez at the last moment finally fulfilled his dreams. Just a little perseverance and patience and his wished death had come.

    Patience is a virtue.. It will come to those who know how to wait, right?
