Finally, justice is served. John Joseph Taskey will be sentenced to 15 years to life in state prison on Nov. 12. Taskey was on parole for a DUI conviction when he drove drunk and caused a freeway crash that killed a 75-year-old grandmother and injured a child back in September 2007 here in San Diego. He pleaded guilty to murder to second-degree murder this week.
Yes, these seemingly senseless things happen and I’m sure they happen for a reason, but at the same time I know that this could have been prevented. I’ve written before about the different ways that we could prevent drunk driving, but an idea has come to me that I’d like to share. Tell me what you think…
What if drunk drivers had to watch so many hours of video showing people who were involved in San Diego DUI accidents? What if that was part of their DUI program? Let’s say every time they went to their rehabilitation or DUI class, convicted drunk drivers had to watch at least an hour-long video with images of people who had died from a drunk driver. Wouldn’t that make some kind of impact? I think so.
