[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband was killed by a drunk driver on his way home from work one day. Two of my kids were too young to have any memory of him. I try to have grace when I hear about this highly preventable crime but it is very, very difficult.[/quote]

Drunk drivers have taken multiple people from my family, including my aunt, a mother of 6. They’ve destroyed my body. PP, I am so sorry for your loss. Like you, I try to give grace, but find it hard to see this post. I hope the parents are not only seeking legal help but taking this with the gravity merited, and that they see to it that if their daughter escapes legal consequences, she gets whatever intervention is necessary to never do this again.[/quote]

Nothing either of you wrote means the person who committed a crime should not be adequately represented in court. That's all OP asked for. [/quote]

Yes they should be "represented in court". But they should not be allowed to plead Not Guilty or get off for "good behavior". Their actions changed someone's life for the worse or "could have changed someone's life for the worse".  And as someone stated, nobody gets a DUI their first time---majority of DUI drivers have issues with alcohol and have done it many times before.  
In fact, many DUI drivers are Repeat offenders.  So all the more reason we should NOT go light on the punishment the first time they are caught.

Not allowed to plead "not guilty"?  I mean look I'm harsh on DUIs too,  but I don't think you know how the criminal justice system works.[/quote]
