Regardless of his level of intoxication, that is a very long sentence for reckless murder. I have seen those cases get probation before. I’m torn on this sentence/situation. Just a bad set of decisions and circumstances led to this. I rarely ever drink but rest assured I will not be behind the wheel when I do.

Wasn't the boat he hit anchored with no anchor lights on? Seems like ai recall that from last yr. I believe you are thinking of the one on Smith where a Girl was killed but missing for a while.

Don't drink and drive or operate a vessel after drinking! It is a recipe for disaster! I have made countless arrests for DUI throughout my LE career and I cannot recall any of my arrestees that were truly sorry. They were only sorry that they got caught!

with good time he'll do right at about 9 years probably parole a few years before then There is no good time on sentences over 15 years. He will be eligible for parole after 10 years on a 30 year sentence normally, But, since this is a murder, he has to serve 15 years. Parole for violent crimes is at 15 years of 85% which ever is shorter.

He made the choice to drink and drive. I have zero tolerance for that anyone who does this. I won't drive even after I have had one beer. This, there is no excuse.

.11 ain’t even really drunk, that’s a buzz. I’m .11 after three beers at 165lbs According to BAC calculator, at 165lbs, 3 beers in one hour should have you at .08. 5 hours to reach 0.0

However, if I remember correctly, didnt he initally claim he was not driving the boat or something like that. That may be the case for this one as well, but I know it was the one that happened on Smith Lake. The guy claimed his wife was driving. It’s stories like this one that reminds me of what I’m glad I I sold my boat and place on the lake. I never allowed alcohol on my boat. Period. Just too much could go wrong and I didn’t want it anywhere near me, as the operator. Most people that think nothing of having a cooler of beer on the boat for the day would never dream of doing the same in a vehicle.

Seems a bit of an extreme sentence to me, they are letting off people who murder on purpose with less time than that. I know of a guy I graduated high school with who killed someone drunk driving and he only got like 5 years. I'm sure Lonster is right, he will be up for parole in a couple of years. 5 years is the normal sentence for a DUI type homicide. That guy was very remorseful and took responsibility. 30 years is a lot more then the average sentence for 1st degree intentional murder in most places.

I’m .11 after three beers at 165lbs According to BAC calculator, at 165lbs, 3 beers in one hour should have you at .08. 5 hours to reach 0.0 I’ve looked at some of them bac charts myself and realized I was wrong. I swear I looked at one a long time ago that said 2 would get me to .08 and I’ve always thought that was my limit to drive. I’m kind of surprised the limit is a lenient as it is
