A tearful apology may be required before "rehab" - people will forget within a few months.

Re: Jon Jones
Aw shucks attitude. Not really. A DUI can really fuck up your life. I'm old enough to remember when it wasn't a big thing. Sort of something to chuckle about. The cops might even take you home back in the 60s, early 70s. I attribute a lot of that change to MADD, mothers against drunk driving. I wanted to start a group called DAMM, drunks against mad mothers. It never took. MADD beat DAMM.Phaedrus wrote:As long as what he did was related to what he did and not what he said, it won't be a big deal. America has a sort of "ah shucks" attitude to drunk driving and it's not something that people take seriously or get outraged about in any fashion. Now, if he said something non-PC when being arrested, his career could be in jeopardy.

If you willingly get loaded and knowingly get behind the wheel enough times you may be facing a bit of jail time. People get furious about shootings but not about drunks. Mention that if you are caught driving drunk you should never, ever drive again and listen to how loudly people whine.seeahill wrote:Aw shucks attitude. Not really.

True. I have a really hard time taking anyone seriously who won't admit that we as a country are ok with people being killed by drunk drivers.Phaedrus wrote:If you willingly get loaded and knowingly get behind the wheel enough times you may be facing a bit of jail time.

One of them involved a big time fight-- the only thing that matters. Whether JJ can afford a first class lawyer and PR firm is the subordinate question.bennyonesix wrote:Neither of those situations involved DUI w/injury?

Repeat DUI's with injury are simply not something that DA's are willing to cut deals on. They know the rate of re-offense AND the rate of vehicular homicide. If they cut this guy a deal and a year later he re-offends and kills someone (knock on wood no jinx) then that is on them morally AND they have to deal with the press and the voters...
Look, domestic violence, non-violent drug offenses, property crimes etc then maybe... First time assault and battery? Maybe. Repeat offense violent crime? Repeat DUI w/agg factors? No.
Assuming there were people who would apply pressure to either the Judge or DA, there is no way they could make the risk worth while... The populace would LOSE THEIR SHIT OVER IT and it would be obvious the fix was in.
Bottom line, the incentives just don't line up.
