I don't disagree with you or this premise....but I'm going to throw the challenge flag to everyone reading this thread:

 

Has anyone, or is anyone willing to admit, that when they were 19 - 22ish either 1) experienced the exact same situation or 2) drove under the exact same conditions ?

 

How many of you said at least one time in your life: I have no idea how I got home ?

 

If you answered yes to either and commented that he should receive a stiff penalty, then the logical follow up is: Did you ?

 

Thanks in advance for your honesty.

 

Sadly, I have driven when I should not have as a young adult. Once had to do the walk test on the side of the highway. Blew .1 below the threshold and, fortunately, I was let go.

 

I've never been so bad that I would fall out of the driver's seat.

 

The one challenge I would have to your premise is that the fact I got a break doesn't mean I should have nor does it mean DW should get one.

 

However, your hypocrisy angle is more than fair.

Maybe he passed out while going to the car to sleep it off. He could come up with a bunch of excuses as to why the door was open and he was lying outside and none of them would be that he was driving or had intent to drive.

Did he have to take a blood alcohol test? Love to see what he blew. I don think one if required for an AI.

 

I don't know if he did take a breathalyzer or not. Haven't heard a report on this so I doubt he did.

Was it her house, with her parents home? :idunno:

 

Does it really matter if you are dedicated and determined ? :ylsuper:

I view this as one step short of a "like"....:wacky:

I disagree - I am in court rooms daily and see people convicted for less proof.

 

Wonder if being a UK player plays a role?

 

Hit the nail on the head :thumb:

So the fact that the cops followed the law as it's written in the county doesn't matter at all to you?

You cant tell me that being a UK player didn't have any effect on this situation.

I don't know I wasn't there.

 

However, why would a cop arrest someone for something they knew would be dismissed because it couldn't be proven?

That's a huge assumption that the Boone Co. police officers and fire personnel that arrived on the scene were all UK fans. It's an even bigger assumption that all of them would agree to let a drunk kid go because of that. How many guys were on the scene? You think they're all crooked? Come on....

Not only that, but if the keys were actually in the house, as the girl claimed, there's no basis for a DUI.

IF the keys were in fact in the house, I'll gladly retract what I've said.

No chance the keys were in the house.

That's what I believe as well.

What if the car had a push button start? Only the girl friend or DW had to have the key fob on their person to start the automobile. She has been adamant and ranting all over twitter trying to cover this thing up. Not sure why she's subtweeting. Just come out and say it! I don't find her credible since I consider her not to be an objective witness.

I was asking someone about her today. Where was she in this? Was she in the car? Was she passed out?
