To the Editor:

On Wednesday, August 8, 2012, I was in an accident and was charged with DUI. I know that my actions could have hurt someone. Each day, I thank God that no one was injured.

I am hoping that my lapse in judgment, in some way, will prevent others from making the same mistake that I did. The future is often shaped by past experiences. This accident was definitely a life-changing lesson for me. I thank all of those who have called and expressed concern over my physical wellbeing. I truly appreciate this support. I can only say that my future decisions will be guided by this unfortunate experience.

Editor’s Note: The DUI charge referred to in the above letter, headed “Apology for lapse of judgment,” was the result of Mr. Liverman’s refusal to take a breathalyzer test following the incident in which his Honda Pilot hit a parked tractor-trailer on the shoulder of Interstate 95 near Scotch Road. He is scheduled to appear in Hopewell Township Municipal Court on September 11.
