My brother was arrested five times for drunk driving and because he is an upstanding white citizen with enough money to provide a good defense ($20,000 for just his lawyer on the last go around) he was able to stay out of jail. Even with a three strikes law. He never hurt anyone, but he certainly could have. I was a little disgusted when he got out of the last one especially. Since we were all sure he was going to to go to prision. But, no.
On a more positive note, he hasn't had a drink since his last arrest.
But really, is the legal status of this man really that relevant in light of what American citizens with the means to provide a good defense are getting away with every day?
I agree with Geraldo...and that was really hard to type.
<and on a side note, I'm not at all convinced that that wasn't a totally staged incident...I'm such a cynic>
