I can't believe this take and how many people thanked it.
Every single person has issues. Everyone.
Every single DUI case is associated with someone that has issues
A person who gets a DUI after going through a tough divorce is no better or worse than Bert but we don't say "hesitate to defend this person BUT they were getting wrecked in a divorce"
Do I personally hate him for it? No and empathy is needed, he is human. Bert got a DUI, there is no excuse for it. There is no "but" - simple as that.
