Hunnicutt Medically Retired Wounded Warrior USMC ret. 1504 Egret Creek Ct Hanahan SC 29410 cory.m.hunnicutt@gmail.com 8432149737 VET Combat Vet facing DUI Gov. Haley, My name is Cory Hunnicutt. I am a Combat Wounded Warrior (retired medically) from the Marine Corps. I served 9yrs. 8mo. in the Marines. I suffer from severe PTSD and other medically issues. I am a contributing citizen to the Greater Charleston area both as an Account Executive with Verizon and a volunteer with Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. I am a member of the Summerville Masonic lodge #234. On the night of Dec. 21st, 2014 I was arrested for DUI in Summerville. I declined the breathlyzer test and admited to the arresting officer that I should not be driving. Following this I hired a lawyer and paid a retainer fee. He contacted me today and said he could do nothing for me. Basically I will be subject to SR22, suspension of license again and a 10 yr felony record. I am writing to plead with you that I cannot afford this to affect me as it has affected me enough financially. I DO NOT care about myself Mrs. Governor, My child is Autistic and I am her means of transportation to and from school, appointments, and her primary care taker. I care about her, bottom line. Her name is Emma, she is my world. After my arrest, I researched DUIs and found the SC law is called "Emma's Law." In reading, the little angel Emma shared my daughters' name and was killed by a drunk driver. She was only six, my daughter is six. Since my arrest I absolved myself from alcohol and asked my psychiatrist for a prescription of Antabuse which when taken makes one nauseated if consuming alcohol. I am a changed man, not innocent. My situation is not the sob story, its all about my daughter and my setting the example. I am due for a hearing later this month which is in the process of being cancelled due to the findings. I don't care what I have to do to get this expunged. I will volunteer wherever, pay whatever, or speak to others about my experience. Please help me. I let my inner demons of war and death consume my mind into alcoholism and now I want to move forward with a positive from this.
