OLYMPIA, Wash. - Angry protesters are promising to march on the Thurston County courthouse on Friday to voice their outrage that a drunk driver who led police on a dangerous high speed chase got off with no jail time.
The protesters say the rules are different for rich people when it comes to jail time for DUI offenders.
A Thurston County judge sentenced Shaun Goodman to just a year of work release for the Dec. 29 drunk driving episode.
In that incident, Goodman led police on a chase through downtown Olympia at top speeds of 100 mph. The chase ended when he crashed his 2000 Ferrari F360 into a parked car and a home. His blood alcohol measured 0.16, twice the Washington state threshold for drunken driving.
During the chase, a passenger in Goodman's vehicle begged him to stop. The passenger later jumped out when the Ferrari slowed down at an intersection.
Goodman eventually pleaded guilty to felony eluding a police officer and DUI, and the judge sentenced him this week to a year of work release, with no jail time.
That has people like Sam Miller ticked off.
"And the judge has said at some point that he's an important businessman in the community, and it wouldn't be fair for him (and) his employees would suffer if he went to real jail. And my question is - what about the people that might suffer if he kills somebody?"
In February, a judge also gave Goodman permission to travel to New York City and attend the Super Bowl while his case was going through the court system.
Even before the high-speed chase, Goodman had six DUI arrests on his record.
The protest is planned for today 3 p.m. Friday at the Thurston County courthouse.

DWI outcomes are a joke anyway. Sure people get arrested but other than paying some money, that's about all that come out of it.

what a joke

7 DUI. That's 7 times he tried to plea deal and got convicted. He probably drove drunk at least 700 other times and not got caught.

7 DUIs yet the guy has a Ferrari. And he lives in a small hippie town in Washington. What the hell does this guy do for a living?
I realize it's strange that this is the first thing that comes to mind when reading the article.

Sounds like jealousy to me. Instead of crying about it get out there and make something of yourself. I don't agree with the outcome at all but I also understand it will never change and pissing and moaning won't do any good.

Well at least LA isn't the only state allowing this to happen

There are some crazy judges in this country. In Wyoming, a judge sentenced a man to 30 days in jail for raping a 14 year old even though there is a 7 year minimum sentence. The ruling was tossed out recently and a new judge will do the re-sentencing.
And then there was the judge in Texas who I think was the reason for this thread in the first place, with the affluenza ruling, where the kid who killed 4 people got zero jail time
