Oh right... He was only drunk at the time (he didn't mean to kill) and had a rough upbringing. He isn't such a bad guy.
Sickening.

You don't need to prove intent for a DUI to be a crime.
For murder 1 or 2 you need to prove intent.
I think this is one of the areas the justice system really fails. By letting him out this quickly even with a probationary period attached he will still likely commit more crimes. In cases like this the way we treat those with insanity defenses seems much better. You are in a facility until you are not a greater threat to the surrounding community.
I'd like to see increased sentences with a goal of rehabilitation and that being a factor in the release instead of the current time served.
Society loses by allowing him out in his current state.
