Yeah, I lost a good friend to a drunk driver when I was 16. We're surfers, and when one of us is lost like that, it's tradition to burn their surfboard. I still cannot get the smell of burning fiberglass out of my head, and ever since this incident, I have not been drunk. I just can't relax and enjoy alchohol...well maybe a beer with a burger and football game, on my tv, not driving anywhere.
People get drunk, and think they're better/smarter/faster than the proven statisitics, and it's not going to happen to them. Getting busted DUI sucks, but killing someone is a whole different game. Even if this guy walks, which he should not, he'll carry quite a burden with him for the rest of his life, too...HOPEFULLY, he won't drink any more, HOPEFULLY, he'll help stop others from drinking and bring some kind of good from a terrible tragedy. It's sad.
