WRT drunk driving sentences, there was a story on our local news tonight
about one of these cases. The guy had been drinking and also did a line
of coke, then got in the car with two of his friends and went out and
raced another guy down the road. He crashed and killed both of his
passengers.

Today he was sentenced to 12 years in jail.

Nope. The shooter was named Peairs. Shootee was Yoshi Hatori, a
Japanese exchange student. It happened in Louisiana not Texas.
That's enough to google it.

Among lawyers, the only crime is getting caught. They spend six
months pf law school learning the law, and the next several years
learning ways around it.
