With that attitude noone would ever be released. The asshole who hit Ken

was far too long for what could be described as "an alcohol induced accident".

If he can succeed in rehab then maybe, just maybe this young man can
serve a useful role in society once again.


Really? That he had posted bail on a previous DUI just hours before
driving drunk again and then after going to prison decided to risk
literally years of his life so he could get high doesn't bode well for
his successful rehabilitation.


Agreed : but if he does/can then all the better.

BTW, the "young man" in question is 31 years old. At what age do we
stop excusing intentional criminal acts as "errors of youth"?


Who said it was an error of youth? He certainly deserves punishment :
but to lock away the key is extreme and certainly not how any developed
society or legal system should handle it.
