Sheenster303 0 #1 January 15, 2004 I have to agree with this completely. That woman should be reminded of what her actions have done to other people. Hopefully, more judges will make more punishments like this. ClickyI'm so funny I crack my head open! P.M.S. #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheenster303 0 #4 January 15, 2004 Yeah, well I think it will be effective for some people. There are people out there who have no heart and seeing a person in a coffin would mean nothing to them. It's a sad, sad world, but it's the truth. I do think it's a fitting punishment for those who take it to heart, though.I'm so funny I crack my head open!

benny 0 #6 January 15, 2004 definitely crazy, probably not effective at anything other than driving this woman crazy and probably driving her to drink even more... possibly effective at giving the victim's family some sense of "revenge" Never go to a DZ strip show.

FallingILweenie 0 #10 January 15, 2004 It's creative, no doubt. But if it was me, tho, I'd just stick the picture in a part of my wallet I never use. Or, just not carry it. Who's gonna enforce that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judy You make a valid point Judy, but this entire scenario begs the question, what is the purpose of the criminal justice system? And for that matter, I'm not intimately familiar with this case, but, it's very much possible that she is very much sorry for what she had done. Drunk driving, and death as a result, is in many cases a very very bad mistake. I'm sure that many of the people here, and many people in general, can think of a time or two when they woke up one morning, look outside and noticed that there car is there and thought, "oh shit, did I really drive last night?" The answer is yes, and the consequences could have been a whole lot worse... Never go to a DZ strip show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #13 January 15, 2004 There has been an increase in judges passing more unique sentences in the past few years. I know that some judges require sex offenders to place an ad in the news paper when they move to a new neighborhood as well as place a sign saying "A convicted sex offender lives here" in their yard. In Texas I've seen judges make it mandatory to have bumper stickers reading "I am a convicted drunk driver" put on the cars of those who have had X number of DUIs. The most unique sentence I can remember was a real old case we studied in one my of criminal justice classes. A judge (in South Carolina? Forida? I dont remember where exactly) gave 2 convicted rapists the opportunity to either serve life sentances for their crime or voulnteer to undergo surgical castration.The convicts didnt want ot serve jail time so they both agreed to the surgery. Later the ACLU and Supreme Court had a fit and declared that violated their civil rights but by then they had both had the surgery. *shrug* it sounded like a good idea to me. "...just an earthbound misfit, I." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 0 #14 January 15, 2004 All she received was probation after directly causing the death of another person! I would think not only some time in the joint but loss of driving privileges for life would be fair punishment..... PSHAWWW! Five years probation and carry a picture of the deceased, its a friggin slap on the hand.

wmw999 2,461 #16 January 15, 2004 QuoteDrunk driving, and death as a result, is in many cases a very very bad mistake. True. But sometimes mistakes have more serious consequences than others. Consider hook turning too low. The fact that sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't doesn't make it unfair the times people die from it -- you still have to understand and try to prevent it. And the folks who survive that (btw hook turns are just an example) don't like the results as a rule, either. Getting in a wreck and/or killing someone (or getting a massive ticket, or going to jail) are sometime consequences of drunk driving. Carrying the picture of the person you killed is a consequence of killing him. I hope I don't make a mistake that leads to someone's death. I'm sure it's possible, too. What would you think of a rigger who packed reserves while drunk, and usually did a good job? Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a most valid question - probably want to start a new thread on that . And for that matter, I'm not intimately familiar with this case, but, it's very much possible that she is very much sorry for what she had done. It's no secret that if you drink and drive, you could kill yourself or someone else. She better be sorry but unless she has spent her life in a box the woods all by herself, she knew drinking and driving kills.

benny 0 #19 January 15, 2004 I'm not saying that this should just be forgotten about. But I don't think that's highly likely for the woman. It's just a guess but I'd say most people who kill someone, whether on purpose or accidentally while impaired, probably think about that for the rest of their lives. Do we need a judge or a vindictive family to remind her of this? I don't think so. But that's just my $.02 Never go to a DZ strip show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antithesis 0 #20 January 15, 2004 Perhaps the woman should be forced to wear a scarlet letter "M" on all of her clothes for killing this guy instead of carrying a picture around of him.. better yet , how about a tattoo of him on her arm I travel the land, Work in the ocean, Play in the sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
