Recently I found out about a man in Pennsylvania who is being sentenced from 2 ½ – 5 years in state prison for his 18th DUI arrest. How many times does it take for one person to finally realize that there is a problem? “I definitely learned my lesson through this whole process,” James F. Myers said. After 18 times he’s finally learning his lesson or is he just saying that for appearances?
Just another example of how ineffective the system is in combating drunk driving. Well, we know that a person has a choice whether or not to drink and drive. However, if you know what it‘s like to be drunk, you know that your sense of what is right and wrong can be a little clouded.
Myers was a depressed man his attorney said. In my honest opinion, what Myers needed was some guidance and counseling from someone who genuinely cared about seeing him get well. It’s a shame that our justice system doesn’t realize it. Fining people and putting them in jail seems to only makes the problem worse. All these people are going to do is get out and keep doing the same thing. Someone who repeatedly drinks and drives needs help with their mental state. It should be mandatory that they see a psychologist or life coach to help them with their situation.
If you’ve been arrested for a DUI many times in San Diego, get counseling and call a professional San Diego DUI lawyer to help you with your case. Get the help you need so that you don’t end up like James Myers!
