Maybe it was just an accident that had nothing to do with DUI
In this story published by the Tooele Bulletin Transcript. In short, this young man's attorney was honest and candid with the Court. He told the Court that his client had two prior DUIs in other states. The Court and Victims were upset because they did not know about the prior DUIs. The story revealed that the young man's blood alcohol level was low.
Here's what happened from the article: http://www.tooeletranscript.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21757&Itemid=54
"Treacherous road conditions and alcohol played factors in the accident, which happened 22 miles east of Wendover, Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Mike Rapich said.
Laub had attempted to pass another vehicle and lost control of his car. Both vehicles rolled over as a result of the collision."
Because there was evidence of some alcohol, people think that the accident was caused by alcohol. It's easy to jump to that conclusion. However, there is no evidence in the story that alcohol played a part in the accident. Maybe, it was just an accident. So here you have people angry and want to crucify this young man for his past sins and not the crime at hand. What happened to these people is horrible. What this man has to live with is horrible. But don't jump onto the witch hunt band wagon and say--"get tougher on DUIs." This appears like the government didn't search the national records.
