Snooki was charged in her classmates drunk driving death in 2004. This bombshell will give the critics of Jersey Shore something to rave about for a while. Why do they allow the show to glorify alcohol and drinking when one of their stars has a charge from underage drinking?

More pictures of Snooki after the arrest…

Snooki had a party on the night before Thanksgiving – when she was 16 – and there was alcohol involved. Lots of alcohol. From Radar Online:

Snooki was one of three people charged in connection with the 2004 death of teenager Michael Truncali, a RadarOnline.com investigation revealed.

The Marlboro High School senior died with a blood alcohol level of .18 — more than twice the legal limit — when he rolled his Mazda in the early hours of Thanksgiving morning after drinking for hours at Snooki’s house.

Truncali had been drinking heavily in the basement of Snooki’s home before crashing his car on his way home. After a several month investigation Snooki was charged with Prohibited Sale of Alcoholic Beverages, as authorities said she charged a fee for alcohol.

This is interresting, because people are going to yell that her mother should have went to jail. How could Snooki have gotten that much alcohol by herself at 16?
