I don't defend minor drinking, but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't do it, and avoiding the obvious if I denied it happened now. I've long believed that the minor DWI laws in Arkansas where I practice are too tough--there isn't enough discretion given to the judge here in handling the .02 as opposed to the .12 Minor DWI. The former doesn't need the full brunt of the law imposed on it; the minor was irresponsible in drinking, not in operating a vehicle.
