How many people did he kill? Even one is enough to deserve the death sentence in my book. Justice just isn't fair. This punk killed people, probably hurt people in the car accident, has no money to even attempt to make the loved ones of the deceased whole, much less any money to help the injured in the auto accident. He probably doesn't even have auto insurance on the car he was driving, or it was probably stolen. Honestly, do we ever need this guy back in society again. At the minimum, he should be locked up for life and doing hard labor to pay for his meals and lodging. What ever happened to the chain gangs of old.

I too heard a story a couple of weeks ago. One of my clients had to do 30 days in the Montgomery County, Maryland lockup for violating his probation. He served his time about a year ago. Well, I was at his shop doing some bookkeeping and he told me the story about his two cell mates that were locked up with him. They said that the next time they get locked up, they need to get locked up in Washington, DC because the jails were much better there. Last I checked, the Montgomery Country detention center wasn't all that tough. These guys just kill me. When I went to visit my client at the detention center, he told me it was like being on vacation. He didn't have to work, he got fed three good meals a day, and he got to workout and watch TV.

Jails should be tough places where a prisoner has to earn his keep. Maybe, if jails weren't a picnic to these scum, they might learn a lesson and not want to go back. Maybe, just maybe, if we got tougher on crime, people would commit a lot less of it.

The only other client I have that served time was on a violation of probation for drinking and driving, and that pretty much scared him straight.
