Goodman says he walked 1/4 mile up a dirt road to call 911. Right. Who doesn’t have a cell phone these days? More likely, he was looking for a good place to lose his stash, so the cops wouldn’t find it on him when they arrived. The mom’s lawyer should send drug sniffing dogs up that road. My guess is they’ll find a bag of cocaine with Mr. G’s prints all over it. He was probably doing a line when he ran the stop sign and killed that young man.

I’m curious as to why his girlfriend has never been addressed in any of the articles. Was she with him at the time? I’m sure she was since they are always together. Why I’d bet she’s with him now while he’s luxuriating in South Beach! What a terrible time he’s having, kill someone then go hang out in a $1,000 a night hotel.

I’m hoping John Goodman is getting ready for a lengthy stay in prison by going to gay hotels, and nightclubs in Miami to spread…and loosen-up his anal muscles. They’ll be spread to the max in the joint.

This will be a test of the prosecutor and how he can justify it with the new State Attorney who right now wants to give out the max on sentences and prosecutors are afraid not to issue them for fear of their jobs.
Lets just watch and see what happens for this. He was driving wreckless or DUI and involved a death so he should receive the max for whichever they try him on.
95% it will be DUI with death, which carries some serious time. Something like 15 years in prison.

Everyones entitled to opinion but everyone should know the difference between right and wrong. This man killed someone and should be punished for his actions, end of story. The fact is that Scott Wilson was a good guy on his way home to spend time with his family. He had not been drinking or partying, just for the record.

KARMA is a bitch!!!!!! What goes around comes around. I lost 23 months of my life to a drunk driver and I was one of the lucky ones, my best friend didn’t make it. He should be in jail or at the very least on house arrest IN HIS OWN HOME!!!!!!!! Or if that is too cusshie he should be in a MOTEL somewhere with a bed and a table and chair!!! Boy wish I could run away and go to a posh resort to lick my wounds!!!!!!

FACT: Goodman is NOT a celebrity and most never heard of him outside the Polo community. No need to compare to OJ

FACT: The public outrage is at a boiling point with the speculation he will get off

FACT: NO attorney…including Roy Black is infallible. My guess is that he will have Goodman plea guilty to reduce his sentence

FACT: The prosecution is taking their time to make sure of their case. Had they arrested Goodman they would have had to charge him within 30 days which is too soon to get their case together

FACT: Goodman will be charged with DUI manslaughter, leaving the sceene of an accident, reckless driving, testing positive for drugs and maybe even possession if they found his white powder in his car

He is NOT going to get away with this. The best Roy Black can do is get him bonded out after the charges come down and drag the case for as long as it takes.

Justice will prevail!

Jose, what is up with Stacy Shore? I heard she was seen in Bal Harbour - probably on a shoppong spree care of “you know who”. Has Goodman compensated Scott’s family yet for their terrible loss? His money would be better spent on Scotts mom before this gold digger!

Lois F.,

Just so the facts are straight - while Bubba Goodman (John’s dad) worked very hard indeed, John did not and he exemplifies the consummate definition of a Playboy. John has inherited the entirety of his wealth. That does not make him a bad person. Being a drug addled father (per the court filings in his Houston divorce) that left the scene of a horrific accident resulting in the death of an upstanding young man (for which he has said he is sorry - thus admits he was behind wheel) is what makes him a bad person. John is indeed a member of the “lucky sperm club”. Being born on third base does not mean that you hit a triple. John has a wonderful mother, a caring and loving ex-wife, and other responsible relatives. All of these other relatives have been more responsible with their inherited wealth and lives. John was/is at the controls of his own train wreck of a life. What he does with the rest of it is up to him. People are outraged at the disparity of treatment that he is receiving. Nobody is mad that he is wealthy, people just like to feel that nobody is above the law and that justice is blind.

You are absolutely correct Karen. The tox and blood resulty can be gotten speedily if necessary. As for Goodman, he should bunk with Rothstein. They can compare notes about big flashy expensive autos while sitting in the slammer! If the roles were reversed ng and the unfortunate you man who Goodman killed had blown through a stop sign aqnd killed Goodman it would have been aqn ENTIRELY different matter. He would have been locked up so fast he wouldn’t have known what hit him. Doesn’t seem fair, huh?
