Parents learn to forgive “upin “22° “HOPKINSVILLE, KY. (AP) — For more than two years, Frank and Elizabeth Morris dedicated their lives to punishing the drunken driver who had killed their only child. Driven’ by hatred, they monitored his every court appearance, followed him to the county jail to make sure he was- serving his weekend sentence and watched his apartment, to try to catch him violating his probation. “We wanted him in prison,” Mrs. Morris said. “We .wanted him dead.” Tommy Pigage, the young man who caused the fatal crash, still gets a lot of attention from the Morrises. They drive him to church twice a week and often set a place for him at their dinner table. Unable to find satisfaction through revenge, the couple decided to forgive Pigage and try to rebuild his life along with their own. “The hate and the bitterness I was feeling was destroying me,” Mrs. Morris said, “I needed to forgive Tommy to save-myself.” JOINED CHURCH Sincé the Morrises made their decision to befriend him, Pigage, 26, has joined their church, quit drinking and became an active lecturer for MADD — Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. “They've given me a better life,” he said. “They've made coagnit.much easier for me to live with myself and forgive myself.” Pigage said-he. started drinking at 16 and alcohol soon became a problem. “I just~couldn't let it go,".he said. “I lost several jobs because of it,and the last couple of years I would just sit home with a bottle: Pigage said he knew he had been drinking’ too_much at the party he attended before the accident Dec. 23, 1982. Nevertheless, he refused friends’ offers to drive him home> “I said, ‘No, I'll be all right.’ HIT CAR He was less than two kilometres from his home when his car strayed across the centre line and hit an oncoming car ' driven by 18-year-old Ted Morris, out visiting friends after his first semester away, at college. |, Morris died on the morning of Christmas Eve, and Pigage was arrested for murder after his blood alcohol level registered almost three times the amount required to be considered intoxicated under state law. The Morrises first saw him at a preliminary hearing a few days after the son was buried. “We wanted to take a-look at him and se¢ what they'd do to him,” said Mrs. Morrs, 40. “We wanted the worst to happen,” added her husband, 44, a delivery service driver. They were expecting swift justice but had much to learn about how courts work. ANGERED COUPLE ‘The grand jury handed them their first disappointment, reducing the murder charge to second-degree manslaughter. Pigage pleaded not guilty, which infuriated the Morrises, and trial was postponed again and again. “Every time it would be delayed, I would get more upset and my hatred for him would grow,” Mrs. Morris said. Their disappointment peaked last October, 22 months after the accident, when Pigagé changed his plea to guilty and was freed on probation, “We felt like everything that had happened was to his benefit, not the victims,’ ” Mr. Morris said. Although Pigage was not imprisoned, the terms of his five-year probation were unusual. : To show Pigage the carnage drunken drivers can cause, “Circuit Judge Edwin White ordered him to watch an autopsy performed, ride with an ambulance crew on emergency runs and work as a volunteer in a hospital emergency room. ORDERED TO STOP He was ordered to spend one night in jail every other weekend, and Mrs: Morris made sure he complied. “I'd go by the jail myself and make sure he was there,” she said. “By this time I didn't trust anybody.” _ . Pigage was also ordered to stop drinking and to share his-experience with high school students at MADD lectures. Mrs. Morris, by then a MADD leader, was there last winter for his first speech at the Trigg County High School. _. “I wanted to hear what he had to say,” she said. “I really expected him to say that it wasn't his fault, that it could have happened to anybody. “But he didn’t say that. He got up and referred to himself as a murderer. He said he had received a very light sentence and that he should be in prison. He was accepting responsibility for what he did.” All Hardwood Folding Slipper Chairs Special Sale Price Brass-Plated Coat Racks You assemble. Each, only 7/8" Steel Frame.
