MANTECA - A Manteca man confessed in open court Thursday to charges that
he tried to kill his wife by speeding 51 miles across the Altamont Pass in the
middle of the night with her clinging to the hood of their minivan.
If making your wife cling to the hood of your minivan trying desperately to stay on while you drive 51 miles over the Altamont Pass in the middle of the night at speeds of up to 100 MPH while she gets hypothermia clutching the windshield wipers while you turn up the radio to drown out her screaming is wrong.....
 
"I want to have a speedy trial, and I want to plead guilty," Carroll told the judge. "I just want to tell the truth, your honor. I did that to my wife. I did all that to my wife, your honor. I'm guilty"

Heck Ive driven thousands of miles with a wife hanging on my a$$.

If I get sentenced to solitary confinement, at least it will be quiet.

Ok, that was a poor attempt at unkind humor.:tongue2:

STOCKTON - A Manteca man pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges he tried to murder his wife by driving at high speeds from the couple's home all the way to Pleasanton as she clung to the hood.
Christopher Michael Carroll, 36, will spend the next five years in state prison after also admitting guilt in a negotiated plea deal to domestic violence stemming from a fight at the couple's home Feb. 25.
The fight was followed by the wild 51-mile drive through the midnight cold across the Altamont Pass as Carroll swerved through traffic in an attempt to throw his wife from the hood, a prosecutor said.
His wife, Rebecca Ann Carroll, 25, got the last word Wednesday, standing up in court to make her impact statement before San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Brett Morgan imposed the agreed-upon sentence. She scolded her husband, noting that he had once vowed to protect her.

That is one bad-ass chick, though. She held on to a swerving van for 51 miles in the middle of the night?

That guy is lucky she didn't rip his heart out when she finally got off the hood of that thing. She has to have hands of steel.
