Ok… the hell with all the mitigation comments. Capital punishment is the only proven solution to recidivism. Dead psychopaths do not commit crimes or kill innocent people. Need and executioner? Contact me.

@Esc leo, $ .25 per year per person. Take into account the roughly 105,000 inmates in prison at any given time. How many from Santa Rosa county. Only then will you have a real answer. The price is very high per capita.
The price to pay to live in a society. Some of us don’t want society as it has become. Yet government blocks us through law from “really” living off grid as it purchases all the land and prohibits one from living. You, Fwc, so on and so forth with the alphabet agencies. Take our rights then sell them back to us. Regulated of course.

@ grand locust

To use a commonly quoted figure of $25,000 per year to incarcerate an inmate, and roughly 100,000 people in Santa Rosa county…

That comes to 25 cents per person per year in taxes. I’ll gladly pay my portion to keep a killer in prison. It’s part of being in a society that values law and order.

@Philip—Sentencing September 24 I believe. Minimum 25 years, maximum life.

It turns my stomach when I hear people talk about stopping the killings by putting people in Jail longer……That is the ticket…..punish taxpayers, and as soon as that person gets out of prison and drinks and drives, you want to blame judges, police, or probation, but the reality is we are all at fault. A drunk does not worry about more jail…..they are invincible, and the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same results.

You cannot stop all killings, but ignition interlocks are working all over this country on repeat offenders with stunning stats, but the Alcohol industry and the private jail folks want people buying alcohol and still be able to drive, and now that there is profit in jails, folks do not mind that we or others have lost family members……it always comes down to money. It is shameful, and if I have to hear one more moronic comment about somebody else by passing these ignition interlocks, the stats simply blow away that nonsense argument……like seat belts will cause people to drown when they drive into a pond……..yea but what about the other 99,9 percent of people who are saved by seatbelts. My prayers to the family, but after 30 years of my wife’s cousin getting killed by a drunk nothing has changed…..jail does NOT stop drunk driving.

There is no way to feel sorry for this drunk. I agree with Trocarman, judge needs to be his roommate.
Prison time (10 years) on the first conviction would give drivers who drink a reason to think.

Umm, Phillip…where did you see that he had been sentenced to life? Seems to me he just did his plea and that’s it. Doubtful he gets life.

We need to start getting serious with punishments for first and second offenses of DUI to prevent as many of these deaths as possible. If a first offense DUI was a felony maybe people would think twice. Currently it takes 3 arrests within ten years to be a felony, unless somebody is hurt or killed like in this case. But Clearly the slap on the wrist for the first two didn’t stop him in this case.
