I guess the jury recommends six years in prison and for Norman to pay a $5k fine.

6 years.. Long time for him to sit and think...Will come out different man for sure.

He's guessing. I'm guessing he won't serve more than 18 months.

doesn't do much good. most just drive without.
read a few articles recently about some repeat offenders. one guy got busted for three different dui's in a weeks time...then another guy just got busted for the fourth time--apparently killing another man which had lead to his third arrest wasn't enough to teach him a lesson.

I would like to think so....but can't always count on that happening.

a family member of the victim thinks that norman might end up with just probation.

I pass by the court house as I walk to work every morning. The other day I found a couple tickets

ticket 131745 -DUI and ticket 131747 -driving on a revoked license
don't know what ticket 131746 was.

I imagine this loser had spent the night in jail and was out the next day littering.

you can't get plates for a car without a license so you have to drive someone else's.

How do these people manage to find enablers. If you're a scum bum they line up around the block -

Jury finds Norman guilty
 

They found him to be guilty and it carries a 3-10 term. Judge to rule in the next few days.

Such a shame, to do such terrible damage to the lives of others, let alone your own.

I didn't know there was a jury. He plead guilty. I am not sure they had a jury sitting. Regardless, I read the sentencing guidelines -- he could be out in about a year to a year and a half all in.

The entire fiasco is a shame. It's a shame that someone can do such damage and hurt to others. Right or wrong, sickness or irresponsibility, you want to go out and screw up yourself or your own life -- your decision. Who gets to make the decision for the others -- the victims.

If he's hit rock bottom, well, that's what is needed.

Eric

supposedly a six year sentence was recommended. he'd be out in a year.

6 years it is..

Not sure how much sitting he will be doing. If he gets sentenced to Cummins Prison Farm(the "pea" farm as we call it here in Arkansas.), he might be out hoeing legumes everyday. Hoeing peas in 100 degree heat will definitely give a person religion.
I went down to Cummins on a field trip with my Criminology class when I was a mere babe in college (no I was not an inmate there !!). I'm sure it has improved some since those days, but I'm quite sure they still don't offer golf or tennis.

as i say you took the senic route.
