JUSTICE AT ITS BEST!!!

Yesterday in "Anne Landers", I read
Something that really made my day.
It was a letter telling about the sentence
a judge imposed on a young driver
that  killed two people while he
has drunk.
Rather than repeat the entire column
here I will only detail the terms of
the mans sentence.
The man, ages 20, pled no contest
to two charges of "Intoxicated man-
slaughter.

HE WAS GIVEN SIX MONTHS
IN JAIL
  Released on 10 years probation
With the following conditions to
be enforced by the courts:
ATTEND BOOT CAMP

ERECT A CROSS AND A STAR
ON THE SITE OF THE ACCIDENT
MAINTAIN THEM AND THE
AREA AROUND THEM.

CARRY A SIGN OUTSIDE A BAR
SAYING "I KILLED TWO PEOPLE
DRIVING DRUNK."

CARRY  A PICTURE OF HIS TWO
VICTIMS IN HIS WALLET FOR THE
TEN YEARS.
"REFRAIN" FROM DRIVING 
FOR THE 10 YEARS.

SPEAK TO STUDENTS IN HIGH
SCHOOLS ABOUT HIS OWN
EXPERIENCE.

SENT TEN DOLLARS A WEEK
 TO  A MEMORIAL FUND, IN 
THE NAME OF HIS VICTIMS.

PLACE FLOWERS ON THEIR
 GRAVES  FOR TEN YEARS

THE WIFE OF THE MAN
KILLED AGREED TO THE
TERMS BECAUSE SHE FELT
IT WOULD DO MORE GOOD
THAN SENDING A YOUTH
TO PRISON.

THE JUDGE WAS  TED POST
(CITY AND STATE NOT KNOWN)

I too agree that this will be more effective
than prison and more judges should
adopt this as a sentence in cases where
alcohol and driving deaths occur.

BACK TO "DRUNK "
