OK first off, this is the idiot's record so far:

"Judge Morris said Perenara had 23 prior convictions over nine years for offences including traffic, drugs and assault.

Included in this were six convictions involving drink driving, the first being 10 years ago, and four for driving while disqualified.

And his sentence for being drunk, driving around with a two-year-old who was left in the back seat when he fell asleep while refuelling the vehicle?

18 months in jail and a 3 year suspension.

Now with someone with that record... SURELY that would have completely quandered his rights to a license... and more jail time than 18 months.

Even the judge said (and on the ball) "if Perenara was "stupid and irresponsible enough to endanger his own daughter then what concern does he have for us?""

Take him out for good!

great minds, man....great minds.

Well, one great mind, one sort of slightly used, dinged up, somewhat dusty but overall functioning mind.

Sort of. On good days.

A former Seattle police detective whose breath-alcohol content was measured at nearly six times the legal limit when police stopped her last week for drunken driving was arrested again Thursday on charges of being a "danger to public safety."

King County prosecutors obtained a warrant for Deana F. Jarrett, 54, who was pulled over twice last week for investigation of drunken driving, the second time registering a record .47 on a field breath-alcohol test, police say. The legal limit is .08.

A blood-alcohol level above 0.40 percent is potentially lethal.

That's what they say, only an chronic alcholic would have been ok at that level.

Teen's death in auto crash 'a nightmare'

Police say Armada High senior was killed by driver with drunken driving conviction.


ARMADA TOWNSHIP -- Armada High School senior Emilee Floer belonged to a student group that sought to educate people about the dangers of drunken driving.

Friday, friends and family were mourning her death after an alleged drunken driver crossed the center line and crashed head-on into her car as she drove home from work. Police say it was his second offense.

"It's a nightmare, to lose a student under these circumstances," Armada High School Principal Lillian Demas said.

Floer, who was a member of Students Against Destructive Decisions -- formerly Students Against Drunk Driving -- was driving home from her job at a Chesterfield Township Texas Roadhouse restaurant Thursday at 8:43 p.m. when her 1990 Ford Thunderbird was struck head-on by a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer.

Floer, who has named Armada High School's Student of the Month in March, was pronounced dead at the scene.


Michael Bulger, 23, of Clinton Township -- who was convicted in 2004 for a drunken driving incident in Romeo -- had a blood-alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit, according to a preliminary investigation, Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said.

Bulger was arraigned Friday in Mount Clemens Regional Medical Center, where he was recovering from injuries sustained in the crash. The bedside arraignment was handled by 41-A District Judge Douglas Shepherd.

Bulger was charged with operating under the influence of liquor, causing death, a 15-year felony; OUIL causing injury, a 5-year felony; and OUIL, second offense, which carries an additional year in prison. Bond was set at $100,000.

In our town members of MADD sit in the spectator row of courts and take notes on the offense and sentences the judge hands out to drunk drivers. Judges record is made accessible at election time. I think another step in the right direction would be to take discretion away from judges with mandatory sentencing laws.

The only problem I've seen with that methodology here in good ole' boy land USA is the judge would be more like to find a person or good ole' boy not guilty if knew he had no choice on the sentencing, in our neck of the woods I would rather have the conviction with a light sentence then no conviction at all, at least we have 3rd DUI is a felony, but I know folks that have 2 1st and 3 2nds before they get there third thats were theres sentencing guidelines. Parchment bound. Just remember this is good ole' boy USA and the rules are different down here.
