Guys, I’ve been away for a while now (I went on a pilgrimage trip with my grandma. Even though I do not like temples and stuff, I had to go as she’s 70 years old)
So, sorry for not writing daily.
Alright, this story, you could say, life gave him one last breath, and he used it to tell the truth.
22-year-old Daniel Waterman was in the passenger seat when his girlfriend, Leigha Mumby, 24, allegedly lost control on I-95 in Flagler County during Super Bowl weekend. Except according to Daniel, it wasn’t an accident.
What happened is… she’d just told Daniel she was pregnant. Seconds later, she sees a text from another woman pop up on his phone. In her mind, that’s betrayal at the worst possible moment.
“I don’t care what happens. You’ll get what you deserve,” she supposedly said right before ramming into a tree. That statement, later written down by Waterman on a whiteboard when he woke up from his coma, changed everything.
His attorney, John Hager, told FOX35:
“This was not an accident. The car wasn’t slowing down, it was speeding up at the time of impact.”
See, Daniel was a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, and the woman texting him was a Philadelphia Eagles fan. This was Super Bowl weekend, and the two teams were facing off that night. His mom, Heather Waterman, said that the text that triggered the argument was just harmless sports banter.
The girlfriend survived the crash. So did their unborn baby, the same one Daniel was excited to meet. Daniel’s mom, Heather Waterman, said,
“He wanted nothing more than to come home to her and meet his baby girl.”
Mumby was charged with vehicular homicide after his death on October 8. The baby survived, she’s now at the center of a custody fight.
I get that people are angry because of others’ actions, but ramming the car? With a baby inside?
This is just irresponsible. See…love is not always butterflies and sunshine. It makes you do crazy things, and tempered people should always step back and think before they act.
A flash of pure emotion that took over logic. That’s what breaks me about this. Love twisted into vengeance in a matter of seconds.
Anger makes us forget that the person next to us is human, not a punching bag for our insecurities. One second of fury, one decision not to brake, and three lives were shattered — Daniel’s, hers, and the child’s.
THE WHY: RAGE
Weirdness Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
I’ve got to give this one a 3/5 on the weirdness scale because waking up from a coma just to deliver your own murder confession sounds like a dark plot twist even Netflix wouldn’t hesitate to greenlight.
