Man wants worker's comp after killing two women in an accident he caused
Edited on Wed Sep-22-10 03:27 PM by no limit

Former Illinois State trooper Matt Mitchell is asking the state to compensate him for injuries from a crash in which he hit and killed two Collinsville sisters at triple-digit speeds.

Mitchell was driving 126 mph in busy day-after-Thanksgiving traffic on Interstate 64 near O'Fallon while sending and receiving e-mails and talking to his girlfriend on his cell phone moments before the crash.

Mitchell filed a worker's compensation case on Sept. 13 against the Illinois State Police. The case is pending.

He is a cop, so manslaughter obviously isn't that big of a deal in his line of work.

1. I'm not sure you are entitled if you were reckless. Anyone know?

4. The article claims it doesn't matter. That's crazy!

2. He doesn't deserve worker's comp, he deserves prison
