Interesting........

First of all, I believe the person I am defending in this post deserved a longer sentence than the 15 years she received.

Dawn L. Around Him, 22, of Kyle admitted to driving the van that struck and killed Andrew Crocker, 38, in September. Around Him struck Crocker from behind. He flew 84 feet and died at the scene. She also had a blood alcohol content of more than three times the legal limit. Enough said, she plead guilty and will pay a small price in the death of, what people say, was a great and admired teacher.

On the other hand, Bill Janklow, former Governor and at the time, U.S. Representitive to the House for South Dakota, runs a stop sign hits Randy Scott, who was riding a motorcycle. Scott flies 135 feet and lands in a ditch instantly dies on scene. Janklow, who claimed his blood sugar was low at the time of the accident, pleads not guilty then is later convicted of the same crime as Around Him but only serves 100 days in prison. Janklow has his law license suspended and gets it reinstated last month.

Okay....society says that alcohol abuse is a disease... Diabetes is a disease. Responsible people don't drink and drive. Responsible people take thier insulin when needed. Hmmm... Interesting....
