[Anonymous]

John Miller, the man who hit and killed an infant in 2016 received a 12 months in jail for two misdemeanor convictions. That was eventually trimmed to daytime work release. He is now trying to trim it further to get a restricted license to drive.

Where's the justice?

That's outrageous. Would love to know which fregging judge let him off so lightly.

This is the most disgusting thing I read in a long time.

What an absolute waste of oxygen.

People are only up in arms because it was a baby killed. Every person convicted of this crime has the right to petition for work release. Every person convicted of this crime has the right to petition for a restricted license.

The laws DON’T fit the crimes, but the amount of hate I see on every story related to this guy is crazy. He’s literally asking for the same rights as every other person with that conviction but is being dragged like he’s getting special treatment.

Anyway, it was denied by the judge. He will continue to have to get approved rides to and from work.

People are up in arms because he didn't get out of his car. He called a lawyer and waited there. A lawyer (that was in the scope of finances) he knew thanks to teaching golf.

He's managed to dwindle his sentence down so much. He's one step away from acting like none of this happened.

He can take public transportation (including multiple transfers) or get a bike, and bike to bus or Metro.

You think that's outrageous? This Maryland man got one week in jail for a drunken hit and run that killed a teen.

Wow, what an opener.

It's a 24 mile bike ride, which would take around 2.5 hours one way.

If he leaves at 7am, he would arrive to work at around 11am via public transportation (assuming he has no delays and misses no transfers). That's probably too late for him to get into work at a golf course and I'm not seeing any earlier options.

He could do UberPool, but it's probably at least $20 one-way and who knows how much money he's making.

I'd advise Mr. Miller to find a closer job or invest in an excellent road bike. If I were in his shoes, I'd bike and enjoy the exercise.

So how long is he supposed to be deprived of earning a living?

He served his sentence. He's done.

Do you think he should never drive again?

+1. There is so much misinformation in this thread.

I'd be cool with that. At least he wouldn't kill anyone again.

Yup. What is it with posters who are so concerned with the inconvenience of his losing his license and the ease with which he can get to work? He deprived an infant of his life! This guy just needs to get a job closer, near public transportation. Maybe he needs to buy a place closet to a metro station. Maybe he'll have to get a smaller place of it's closer to metro.

Oh well. Stripping someone of his life comes with all sorts of inconveniences.
