90 days, 12 months probation and 50 hours of community service. He'll have his license suspended for one year, attend DUI school and pay a $250 fine.
Apparently that's what the lives of two "little people" are worth.

The writer keeps stressing that it's more than first-timers usually receive, like this is some extra whammy because he's an FBI agent.
BS! I say that killing somebody when you're driving drunk should be way more than whatever slap-on-the-wrist minimum they're using as an example. This idea of "first-time offender" status doesn't make a damn bit of difference to the dead guy, and it makes people think (correctly) that they can make a MAJOR screw-up almost for free.
IMO, five years should be a minimum for the purpose of making you change your behavior permanently and making others think twice about driving drunk.

Laws don't apply to some, namely the jackboots

The max was 6 months, and I doubt that would have been satisfactory to anyone either. Just a bit of O.J. karma comin' round. Similar escapes from justice happen every day, just not with federal agents or football hall of famers.

Let's hope Schillinger takes a liking to him during his 90 day stint.
