How Many DUIs Does It Take?

What do you do with a man who has had 13 DUIs?  Last year Randy H. Bragwell was charged with a six-year jail sentence.  He is also required to participate in a rehabilitation program, pay the prosecution costs, and has had his driver’s license suspended for life.  Oh, one more thing…he can’t leave the state.

I’m sure that Bragwell has been served jail time and has had to attend rehabilitation programs before. What happened?  Was he just left alone after he was done with the programs?  Obviously they didn’t help, so enforcement should have taken a different route to help this man, if they really cared about helping him.  However, I do understand that people have to take responsibility for their own actions.

So, who is to blame in this situation?  Do we blame the court system for not giving stricter sentences or do we blame the person charged for not taking enough action to correct their life?

I know that we all make mistakes in life and eventually we learn our lesson.  However, after thirteen times of making the same mistake you would think that one would finally get it in their heads to make a change.  At the same time legislation needs to decide if it really wants to help these people change.

If you are in San Diego and have been charged for driving under the influence, contact a San Diego DUI lawyer who really cares about helping you.
