Here's my own personal emotional impact statement.
Man convicted in officer's drunken driving death gets 26-33 years
Small consolation of course, but seeing this piece of shit get such a lengthy sentence is nice.
"BOSTON (AP) A man convicted of killing an off-duty Boston police officer in a drunken driving accident was sentenced Tuesday to 26 to 33 years in prison.
A Suffolk Superior Court jury convicted William Powers last week of manslaughter, felony motor vehicle homicide and two counts of causing an accident resulting in serious bodily injury while operating under the influence.
The August 2001 collision in South Boston killed Officer Sean Waters and severely injured two of his friends. "
Tom OKeefe Says:
No matter how many years go by and how many friends i have or people I meet over the years, no one will ever replace what Williams Powers took from me and all of Seans friends and family. Sean was truly my best friend.
Aug 12th just fucking sucks.

John Manning Says:
Before Tommy O'keefe was John Manning as Sean Waters best friend in Hyde Park…. The West Street Mafia we called ourselves at such an early age. We miss Sean sooo much, but memories will never be erased… I remember me Haze and Waters coming out of the Dedham Cinema after watching Pee wees big adventure got into a fight after with some punks who started with us. We beat those kids and were so happy…even at 12 years old that was the time to remember, football on the 16th hole at george wright GC…
