No jail time for drunk driver who killed 18 year-old
A mother is outraged after hearing the man found guilty of killing her son in a drunken driving accident won’t serve any jail time for the crime. “The drunk driver could have stopped 300 feet away from my son; instead he plowed into my son. He had over twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system.”
1) This story is obviously missing some details.
2) A clear reason why I don’t live in Texas anymore. CC is one of the most repressive back asswards there is in Texas so I’m not sure why I’m surprised.
This is the epitome of craziness! Ten years probation is an insult! It’s no wonder she moved out of CC. I would’ve moved out of Texas.
This happens in every state so don’t get your panties in a bunch unless you are actually willing to do something about it. I’ve had to sit in court listening to the absolute bullshit coming out of the trial lawyer’s pie hole while I was not able to say ANYTHING for fear of being charged with contempt of court. Everybody thinks voting the Republicans out will fix things: NEWS FLASH – NOTHING WILL CHANGE!
Sorry Moby, this strikes close to home for me and I have alot of rage regarding this subject.
Can someone please explain to me why this isn’t a more serious crime? It seem like everywhere this crime is just a slap on the wrist. Sorry to vent Moby.
This sort of insanity goes right along with a ton of other BS that goes on in our nation, world, courts, political system, churches, and homes. It’s a f___-ed up mess. You wanna come to Oakland for dinner on thursday night? Just checking.
Hey, if you really want to crack down on drunk driving, start instituting a $50,000 fine per incident. Prison times don’t seem to deter any number of people, so hit ’em in their wallet. Of course, the first year or so would cause some major hardships until people understood how serious it is.
