Octobter 2004, when he made the car to somersault off the road, which
was supposed to be a prank but caused his friend's death and other
friend inside was seriously injured. They incident happened while they
were retunring from a party and all were under the influence of
alcohal. Blake worte on his Blog that "I did it" three days after the
crash, though he had previously told investigators he remebered nothing
of the crash.
Blog read:
"It was me who caused it. I turned the wheel. I turned the wheel that
sent us off the road, into the concrete drain ..." Ranking wrote in the
blog. "How can I be fine when everyone else is so messed up?"
Ranking later deleting the above from the blog and posted an explanation.
"People say I 'contradict' myself since I 'already admitting pulling
the wheel.' I didn't 'ADMIT' anything. I went on a guilt trip, and I
posted the story that I WAS TOLD . . . Nicole told me I pulled the
wheel, I believed her," he wrote.
This week on Monday, Blake admitted manslaughter charges, which is
punishable upto 15 years imprisonment. Though otherwise also confession
@ Blog was always available as evidence and the proceedings included
many of the statements made at the blog regarding the incident like the
comments made regaring his friend and friend's family and his overalli
nsensitive attitude towards the whole incident.
