Re: Drunk Driving and penalties

Of course, penalties can only be applied if a drunk driver goes to trial.

Some years ago my wife served on a Grand Jury. (In the US legal system a
Grand Jury has the responsibility of determining if there is sufficient
evidence to support bringing a case to trial). She was disgusted that many
(most?) of the drunk driving cases were, by the vote of the jury, not even
taken to trial. In discussions in the jury room the reason people gave for
voting against sending a case trial was "There for but the grace of God go
I".

Disgusting!
