There are a lot of cases like this one out there, but for some reasong this one really bothers me.
The entire time he was under house arrest, he kept petitioning the courts for more lenient terms. It was not enought that he could continue to work, but he needed to go to his kids' soccer games, and essentially continue with his normal life. That is turning point for me. To think you have the right to a normal life just after killing a woman in front of her 8 year old daughter? They can say that he has all the remorse in the world, but his actions say the opposite.
People like this guy have been given more chances than they deserve. He was given an opportunity to get his **it together, and chose to get behind the wheel while drunk. How many other times has he done this and not get caught? I know that we are supposed to rehabilitate people, but at some point you need to decide if it is worth it. I think he has proven that he is not worth it at this point.
