Back when Paris Hilton was spending her few days in jail as a result of her DUI conviction, I remember the out-cry from many that she was getting such a "Light sentence" based on the fact that she was famous.
Few people believed me when I tried to explain, that unfortunately her sentence was not particularly light and in fact that a Non- celebrity would almost never serve a single day under the same situations.
Well a few days ago a resident East Rutherford ,Shaun Campbell went before a judge and stated he been drinking "quite a bit" of beer when he crashed his SUV head-on into a pickup driven by a man and carrying his 4-year-old daughter. Fortunately neither of them were not seriously hurt, but that is owed to a good bit of luck. Campbell's blood-alcohol level was .288 percent, more than triple the state's legal limit. This would be an outrageous crime to require strict punishment, but this was not his "First Offence" in fact it was not his third Offence- Campbell's license has been suspended 78 times in 22 years . If you do the math that means his licence was suspended nearly every three months. This is his 15th DUI Conviction.
I think this clearly shows that this person should be behind bars, and also put the idea that Paris Hilton got off "Light" into real context.
