Drunk driving............?
Why is it that when a drunk driver kills another person, he/she is only charged with manslaughter or vehicular homicide? Shouldn't they be charged with first or second degree murder. The way I see it, if a person gets behind the wheel after they have been drinking, they're saying to the world that they don't care if they kill anyone or not.
I'm well aware that it's not intentional, but there has got to be stricter laws regarding drunk driving. I don't know about the rest of you, but where I grew up if you killed someone while you were driving drunk, you wouldn't spend so much as a day in jail.

If you are loaded and crash into someone THEN the punishment should be severe, alot of people are charged under suspicion of DUI to hit quotas for revenues, they are expected to plea out, being as lawyers are expensive alot of people take the rap even though there are under the limit for dui's because of their ignorance to the system but YES I do believe the penalties should be severe for taking the life of another intentional or not in that scenario ____ also Belamia's situation doesnt sound right ... "another" 90 day suspended sentence ..after 11 convictions ...NO WAY, COME ON !
