Schuler: DNA Testing To Guarantee Autopsy Was Wife's

Daniel Schuler now says that he plans to extract DNA from his wife's toothbrush in order to ensure the validity that autopsy results indicating his wife Diane was drunk and high when she caused the Taconic crash that killed eight. Sounding slightly conspiratorial, Schuler's private investigator told reporters, "That'll give us her exact makeup that is almost indisputable... we can be assured that the lab test samples - blood, urine, eye fluid - to make sure that the sample that they're about to test is Diane Schuler's." Meanwhile relatives of the two Bastardi victims who died in the crash continued to snap back at Schuler's Larry King appearance, saying they're "tired of hearing it" and wondering, "Is he out to make us feel worse than how we feel?" They took particular offense to Schuler lawyer Dominic Barbara's claim that "60 percent of America" thinks Diane Schuler wasn't drunk. Michael Bastardi's daughter Rosann Guzzo said, "Did he just go out and interview 10 people in a bar?...Read the blogs. Most of the people agree with the Bastardis and the Longos and the facts from the state police, the DA and the Medical Examiner."

And none of this nor any lawsuit will bring any of their family member's back.

There can be no winners, yet they all insist on continuing to play this BS game.

the husband is waiting for a lawsuit from the family's victims and this legal stuff will keep the lawsuits at bay for awhile. There is a point to this even if it is ludicrous.

Right... there was some of cover up. That wasn't really the drunkard's DNA...

This guy and his douchebag lawyer are really wearing it thin now. They need to learn to shut the hell up.

And OJ Sympson was no where near the murder scene the night it occurred.

Jon Benet Ramsey's mother had nothing to do with her daughter's misfortune.

And John Wayne Gacy merely insulated his home.

Give the guy a break. Ace Hardware was running a three month special on attic and basement insulation prior to running their fall special on outdoor lights. What was he to do? Skip the five dollar off coupons?
