Reply to comment by Super_C_Complex in Chester County man convicted of 12th DUI: Lancaster DA by sintactacle

Thank you for your work, defense attorneys are a critical part of the justice system.

In this particular scenario though, I think it’s fair to focus on this individual rather than a systemic issue.

There’s no reason he should have been driving at all. He deserves a fair trial and a vigorous defense, but if he’s convicted I fully believe he should be incarcerated.

Fun fact. If he were to be pulled over now with marijuana in his system. He would be charged with a second degree felony with a maximum of ten years, which by state is required to be imposed. He would also be looking at, I believe but I'm not 100% sure since it's a new last, that it would be a 2 year mandatory minimum which would, again by law, have to be served consecutive to any other sentence he is currently serving or that would be imposed

If he’s pulled over NOW ?!? For a Baker’s dozen of DUIs?

My guy should never be allowed to drive again.
