My brother got a dwi in 09/2019. His first traffic offense in 45 years. He was appx 1/2 mile from his home. He was arrested on the spot and the case is STILL ongoing!
He's been jerked around by both the lawyers and the court itself. The prosecutor wanted to immediately throw the book at him. It made no difference that he had a spotless driving record; or that he'd worked at least 13 hours that day and was fatigued; or that he had just lost his (our) dad; that other factors were involved but there was No mercy; no leniency ...nothing.
So here it is 2021; he's done the satop classes, paid fines and fees and is on probation; it is STILL an open case with his next court date being next month.
But ole Brucey walks away. Justice in america is finished.
Like I need more reason to despise Springsteen and everything he ever stood for! Truly infuriating!!
