LOL. Yet his humble behavior in court translated into the very light sentence of house arrest. If it had been anyone else...

If Conrad had been on coke or marijuana, want to bet that jail time would have been imposed? Different standards for alcohol. I'm not saying that all drug-related felons should be walking the streets. The judge in this case had the common sense to address the problem (victim was paid in civil case, fines imposed, alcohol rehab, and steps taking to prevent future drunk driving). Makes more sense than having the California taxpayer foot $50K a year to house Conrad in jail space that doesn't exist plus accommodate his medical needs for partial paralysis. Mandatory minimums prevent such discretion in other substance abuse crimes.
