As they should and as it should. Him going to prison will do no good for anyone. He appears to be a clean cut, good young man with his whole life ahead of him. More importantly he appears to be someone that will contribute to society. Prison will do nothing.
Right or wrong, it’s the truth.

If they are so drunk that they are being unsafe, for themselves or others, then it probably falls under Disturbing the Peace in state law. There may be city laws as well.

I get what you're saying, and I'm not saying you're wrong, but laws were broken, somebody died. This softhanded approach it why society is how it is now. Everybody wants to have compassion for the person breaking the laws. The only thing that should be considered other than the facts of the case are that
1. He did turn himself in.
2. What the victim's family thinks.
I myself don't know that I would want somebody spending years in jail over something that happened without malice.

No dude
If Jude was over .08 and he was walking across a dark Ben Hur at night, then I can guarantee you that the defense is going to lean all over it and it will very likely get him off.
I'm sick for Jude's fam and his friends because he sounds like a great guy, but drunk and walking across the street is gonna be tough to justify in court.

Unfortunately, I think this is likely. Furthermore, it's why I don't do something incorrect to be courteous to pedestrians or another driver, like the car in front of the hit-and-run guy did. You can't assume everyone else knows what you're doing and it can lead to something like this. I bet the guy who flashed his lights to let Jude cross feels sick himself.

So it’s ok to strike a pedestrian and if he’s drunk you can just leave the scene?

Define "okay". It's legal to strike a pedestrian if they are crossing the street while not in a crosswalk, at night, with limited visibility.
It is definitely not legal to leave afterwards though.
If there were other witnesses there to call 911, and render help to the victim, what "harm" was done by the driver leaving? Things like that is going to be brought up by the defense. Not to mention they are probably going to argue that he wasn't aware that it was a person that he hit, and he didn't go to the police until he saw the report the following day.

e should be charged with negligent homicide at minimum
If he was operating the vehicle within the bounds of the law and the dead guy was shown to have jaywalked, I'm not sure I agree with that. (in principle, not legally speaking)
Again, fleeing the scene is obviously a separate and serious frick up.

That can be assumed, but they can also argue that he didn't know it was a person that he hit and he thought it was a dog or something.
I'm just bringing up arguments that the defense can and likely will make.

Why make statements like this with such certainty when you are obviously ignorant on the subject? You are absolutely incorrect.

At that time of the night the perp knew if he waited around for BRPD to arrive he would have been screwed because he was drunk behind the wheel when he killed that man. The penalties would be far more severe if the cops found the Perp drunk behind the wheel.
There would have been no reason not to stop if you had nothing to hide.
