OK- why are we bashing the parents- Maybe they are reaping what they sowed, or maybe this kid is just bad. I am one of four kids, all the same genetics, home environment, educational benefits, challenges, etc. Why did 3 of us 'toe the line' while the other totally acted out with drugs and booze? I don't know. I do feel for the parents- it must be very painful to see your child ruining their life after ending another's. That said, this man will serve out his sentence since he violated probation- and likely will have additional time if he is convicted of the new charges. As it should be. Maybe first offenders won't get off so easy in the future- here's hoping.

Good point, middle of the road, it was an "alcohol related" offense. He stole alcohol. The headline made it sound as if he was caught drinking again. In any case, even if being in jail five years only keeps him sober five years, that's five years he won't be a danger on the highway or five years he won't be stealing.

From the video of his first trial, he looked like he had Judge Stephens.

Stephens will throw the book at him now, cause that judge, while fair and just, is no one's fool.

God bless.

Oh, he didn't get charged with dwi cause he hadn't the time to consume his thefted items and drive long enough afterwards. he looks pretty plastered in his pic.

Who's in charge of making sure he does community service? Did anyone check up on him since he's on probation?

Something as deadly as driving while impaired certainly deserves more than a slap on the wrist.

Middle of the Road-I hope your comment was an example of a joke. You think that taking a bomb and driving it down the road and killing someone is not a violent act? He clearly has not learned from this so he needs to go away for a long time and maybe he will learn. He has no respect for anyone else. If he hit you or someone you loved you would think him violent. How about the fact that his next robbery may have a gun?
