In reply to the discussion: A guy gets busted for his TWELTH DUI??!!?? [View all]Ocelot II
(116,621 posts)I was practicing law then, and I was waiting for my case to come up in a courtroom in a small town in southern Minnesota (Mantorville, I think) - it was just a motion in a civil case. While I was waiting, the judge was handling some sentencing matters, and there was one guy who was being sentenced for his ninth driving after revocation offense. If he'd been busted that often for driving after the revocation of his drivers' license for DUI, he had to have been busted many times more than that for actual DUI, since in those days they didn't always revoke your license. The judge gave him the maximum sentence - I don't remember what it was - but chances are he kept drinking, driving, and getting arrested as soon as he was released, assuming he didn't kill himself in an accident or drinking himself to death.
