There can be NO REASON that this man is not spending the next 20 or so years in prison. No matter what else may be, this dirtbag CHOSE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL after drinking.

I lost my left leg to a drunk driver 2 years ago and to hear the typical defense lawyer BOO HOO WAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

The Woman who hit me and maimed me for life, her lawyer said that she was a victim too she was handicapped by her dependence on alcohol.

Until we get serious about sentencing drunk drivers we will continue to lose someone approximately every 15 minutes to these MURDERERS

Whoa, sorry to hear about that. That's awful.

A person who commits intoxication manslaughter in Texas can get between 2 and 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. For some reason, the jury here imposed the maximum fine, and a 10 year sentence, but then suspended it.

Really sorry to hear about your accident. I also agree wholeheartedly with everything you said.

23 years ago I organized a chapter of MADD. When I and another were working on the layout of the advertising for a fund raiser we used the mantra: "Drunk Driving - the only socially acceptable form of MURDER"

We had volunteer court monitors for the purpose of cutting down on plea bargaining. The charge of "intoxication manslaughter" does not carry the same sentence as say, "aggravated vehicular homicide", which was the term used in the state at the time indicating a murder by drunk driver.

One of our members had a 9 year old daughter that was a hit and run case by a "habitual drunk". He left her at the side of the road to die. He spent 90 days in jail and was released on shock probation. Believe me, it was a shock to all.
