8TH DUI & 14TH ON REVOKED R U KIDDING ME? Are we waiting until he kills an innocent citizen to do something to this loser, such that he gets the message? OK, I get that we need to support him if we lock him up permanent. Put an ankle bracelet on him, which he's got to pay the county to have, and don't let him leave the house for a few years. Maybe it'll sink in then. Wow, I thought our Justice system was in place to serve and protect. Please all, warn the drivers in YOUR family, to always keep your head on a swivel.

No doubt the prior offenses occurred over a period of years, if not decades. I'm relatively certain the accused did do jail time for some of the priors. The justice system must abide by the laws established by the legislative system. DUI and DORL are misdemeanor offenses, for which the maximum penalty is 11 months, 29 days. To their credit state lawmakers have taken steps to strengthen the penalties for those offenses in recent years. More action may be needed.
