Default Cole Norman - DWI

I guess him killing a woman while under the influence back in Feb. was'nt enough to make him get clean.. Nor was breaking his own neck before that. http://www.drf.com/news/article/90654.html

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.

This never works, people still drive. Lawyers get DWL's dropped all the time

I would really like to know the % of people that learn from the first time. I personally think if you get a DUI, it is three days in a minimum security jail. I think the % of 2nd time offenders would lower because I am guessing even minimum security is not fun.

I want to know the % of people without Alzheimers who get lost in their hometown despite NOT being under the influence?

i would imagine it was the four wheeler wreck that brought painkillers into his life, and lead him to where he is now.

Default 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.
