Should've got this sentence after his second offense. DUI/DWI is attempted manslaughter as far as I'm concerned

It's fair that he was finally punished in a harsh manner but the reality of the situation is sending him to jail isn't an honest attempt to help his alcoholism. If the jail time involves AA and actual therapy to fix the problem then it's just a waste of tax dollars.

I'd ordinarily say it's fair, but then again they gave him a valid license despite having 8 DUI's so under that pretense, I'd say nah, it's not fair.

They need to punish themselves for allowing this vagrant to legally drive after multiple DUI's.

Texas judge gives man life sentence after ninth DWI conviction

cliffs
-4 were involving crashes
-Last one he hit a cops 16 year old son:patrice:
-He had a valid license too lol:russ:

A Texas judge has sentenced a man to life in prison after he was found guilty of drinking and driving a ninth time.
Donald Middleton was arrested May 30, 2015 on a DWI charge. It was his ninth since 1980.

Authorities say Middleton was trying to turn at a stop sign but didn't stay in his lane and struck another vehicle nearly head-on. After the wreck, he ran to a nearby convenience store and begged the clerk to hide him.
"He tried to flee, get away. He called some friends to come pick him up, and you could see that he was clearly intoxicated in the surveillance video at the gas station," Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Justin Fowles said.
Fowles tells us Middleton pleaded guilty last month, on the day he was set to begin his trial. After three days of punishment testimony, Judge Kathleen Hamilton sentenced him to life in prison.

The 16-year old he hit was Montgomery County Precinct Four Constable Rowdy Haden's son...
...
Perhaps the most unbelievable part of this is that after eight DWI convictions, Middleton still had a valid driver's license when he was arrested for number nine.


If you go back to each DWI, it would be worth finding out who the judge was and what the sentence was. Considering it was his ninth DWI conviction since 1980, he probably has spent years in jail.
It's usually defense attorney's who plead with the judge to let the defendant keep his driver's license so he can get to work.
