Chronic Drunk Gets Light Sentence

Notorious Bad Driver Gets Year in Prison

This guy has been convicted more than 40 times of drunk driving or driving without a license and all he gets is a year in jail. One year. That's it.

There ought to be some serious questions asked of the authorities and courts in North Dakota why he hasn't been jailed for longer periods of time much, much sooner.

He says he has a "drinking problem." Ya think so, Craig? Duh! It took you 40 convictions to figure that out? Evidently drinking is as big a problem as low IQ for this guy...I understand that he has an addiction which is now classified as a "disease," but it's a disease of choice. He chooses to keep drinking. You can talk to me about it being a "disease" when you show me the person who can make the choice to have cancer.

His mother and lawyer are, of course, claiming that he's a changed man. Sorry, you get a chance to be given credit for being a "changed man" after first or second conviction...After the 40th plus conviction, you just need to be locked up and put away for a long, long time.
