And to think this all could have been avoided if he just DID NOT GET INTO A CAR AFTER DRINKING!!!
Please people, please people ...... do not drink and drive.
I hope he gets the treatment he needs and adopts the one day at a time way of life.

Pro tip: do not drive BEFORE drinking. You have to get home somehow. After drinking, your judgement is terrible, so decide BEFORE drinking to not drive any more that day.

In this particular case, the perp had multiple DUI convictions. I don't know if any of the prior convictions resulted in jail time, but I am glad the judge took him off the street this time. While he's in jail, he can't kill an innocent person on the road. I wish that all DUI convictions resulted in jail time or at least mandatory intensive treatment.

Duncan Crawford Burr is a recidivist drunk driver, and he's only getting 60 days in CJ with 52 days credit for time served, so he'll be out driving again in just a matter of days?!? Why was this recidivist drunk driver not given prison time?!?
