RALEIGH, N.C. -
A former UNC doctor accused of killing a ballerina while driving drunk did not show up to a court appearance because he is in rehab, according to his lawyer.
Attorney Roger Smith said his client Raymond Cook is undergoing voluntary alcohol rehab at an in-patient facility that is located outside of North Carolina.
A new court date has been scheduled for November 30 where Cook will be arraigned on the new charge of second degree murder.
Cook was allegedly driving 85 mph when his car struck the car driven by 20-year-old Elena Shapiro in September.

One of my friends had a wreck while drinking and the girl in the other car got killed and they charged him with 2nd degree murder and he has been in prison for 4 months now..he got 12 years! Is it worth it to go drive after drinking even 1 beer? I don't think so...anything can happen...now his mom died and he didn't get to say goodbye to her and his sister just had cancer surgery and is still in the hospital and he hasn't been able to be with her either....think about it next time you drive drinking....
