Hiram Students Meet With State Leaders About Repeat Offenders

UPDATED: 7:30 am EST March 29, 2006

Classmates of two college students killed during a crash involving a man convicted of drunken driving 11 times will make their voices heard in Columbus Wednesday.

Hiram College students will meet with state leaders about repeat offenders, NewsChannel5 reported.

Grace Chamberlain and Andrew Hopkins, both 18, died after the car they were riding in was hit head-on March 2.

James Cline was charged with two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide for allegedly causing the crash.

"She commented it was more difficult to prove a DUI than a capital punishment. So our job as citizens is to do what we can to help prosecutors get these guys," said student Jonathan Weaver.

The students hope to effect a positive change in regards to DWI legislation and jail time.

They will meet with several lawmakers including State Sen. Jay Hottinger, the co-author of S.B. 141, which would revise current DWI legislation.

NewsChannel5 will be with the Hiram students while they're in Columbus. You can see Debora Lee's live report on Live on 5.
