Once again ticketed and held in jail for 2 days until the judge didnt see him as a flight risk. 2 weeks later got another DUI. All he got was time served in jail a total of 2 weeks and he had to wear a ankle monitor (house arrest and work) for 60 days and license suspended for a year. Thats all he got for 3 DUI's thats pathetic.

That IS pretty ridiculous, but shows that laws don't solve a problem. Especially one where you release an offender and expect them to abide by laws that they've shown a history of not respecting.
Hope this kid's family finds peace somehow. I know I sure wouldn't be able to.
