Do understand that most who get a DUI go on to get more than one other, reference the fact this is his second offense. What do you tell the family of the next person he possibly kills? Sorry, he was not in jail because he was forgiven by the other victim? Who is the former NFL player who ended up killing several victims in 2 different accidents over several yrs?

I read about that a couple of months ago and it really pissed me off. I hate reading the news.

There was a pretty lengthy thread about that ridiculous sentence on the OT.

What a fricking joke. Let someone not as "popular" drink seventeen drinks, get behind a wheel and kill someone. They would easily get 7-10 years. It's fricking vehicular homicide. Unbelievable

Ya, wasn't the guy who was killed hammered too? If I recall correctly, she just accepted her son was just as much at fault as Brent was and probably would have died if he had driven instead or something like that.




Actually, the toxicology report on Brown showed he wasn't legally drunk. If he'd been driving and killed Brent, he probably wouldn't have gone to trial.

So if you got in the car with you're best friend ( both of y'all drunk) and he gets in a wreck that you die in, you would want your best friend in jail for 7-10 years?

ETA: I wouldn't want my best friend in jail for 1 day. What I would want is a lifetime breathalyzer or some shite in his vehicle so he wouldn't do it again

No shite. I understand that.

Would you want your parents or whoever to testify against your best friend for going to jail for 10 years?

I remember a lot of people on the OT defending the 17 year old boy.

Just saying...

I wouldn't want it but I doubt his friend wants to be dead. That argument is pointless. Justice is justice no matter who the frick it pertains too. But our country is so messed up that if you know the right people or have a little popularity behind you, you can get out of anything.
