Dianna Ross is a Lush (http://g.msn.com/0US!s5.31472_315535/61.a3914/3??cm=TopStandard)
48 hours in jail and one year unsupervised probation?
I thought they took your license for 6 months or something a little more than a slap on the wrist.
Oh well. I just it pays to be a celebrity.

Penalty for a first-time DUI in Arizona:
28-1381. Driving or actual physical control while under the influence; trial by jury; presumptions; admissible evidence; sentencing; classification
A. It is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle in this state under any of the following circumstances:
1. While under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, a vapor releasing substance containing a toxic substance or any combination of liquor, drugs or vapor releasing substances if the person is impaired to the slightest degree.
C. A person who is convicted of a violation of this section is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor.
I. A person who is convicted of a violation of this section:
1. Shall be sentenced to serve not less than ten consecutive days in jail and is not eligible for probation or suspension of execution of sentence unless the entire sentence is served.
2. Shall pay a fine of not less than two hundred fifty dollars.
3. May be ordered by a court to perform community service.
4. Shall pay an additional assessment of five hundred dollars to be deposited by the state treasurer in the prison construction and operations fund established by section 41-1651. This assessment is not subject to any surcharge. If the conviction occurred in the superior court or a justice court, the court shall transmit the assessed monies to the county treasurer. If the conviction occurred in a municipal court, the court shall transmit the assessed monies to the city treasurer. The city or county treasurer shall transmit the monies received to the state treasurer.
J. Notwithstanding subsection I, paragraph 1 of this section, at the time of sentencing the judge may suspend all but twenty-four consecutive hours of the sentence if the person completes a court ordered alcohol or other drug screening, education or treatment program. If the person fails to complete the court ordered alcohol or other drug screening, education or treatment program and has not been placed on probation, the court shall issue an order to show cause to the defendant as to why the remaining jail sentence should not be served.
Actually, she received more than the minimum allowed. The minimum is if you complete a treatment program you only have to spend 24 hours in jail. I would imagine the 48 hours came as part of the plea agreement that dropped the other two charges.
Also, as a prosecutor, this is the same agreement I usually make any first-time DUI defedant.

she got away with little punishment compared to what they do in florida.
-
they'd send her to death row in texas. :lol :lol :lol

Up here in Canada; Lost my license for a year and paid a thousand dollar fine. I was living in NYC and just visiting Canada at the time, so it wasn't a big deal. If I had hit someone, on the otherhand....
-
I think she should not be able to drive for 5 years.
YES five years.
maybe in that time her silly arse will realize what she could have done while driving drunk.
-
If I go out for a few beers with a friend, possibly to be followed by a meal with wine, I use a taxi service. It costs me a few £ but I think of it as an insurance premium. With the money that DR must have stashed away, it beggars belief that she didn't do the same thing.
-
DUI is a gamble I will not take.

It's not like she hurt anybody. Seems like sufficient punishment.
-
today we are punished for what might happen, it's called preemptive intervention.
-
Shouldn't be tolerated either way, even if someone WASN'T hurt.

Sing that tune when one of these clowns mows down one of your loved ones .

That would be a case where somebody WAS hurt. You don't see the difference?

Anytime someone gets behind the wheel after drinking they stand a very HIGH chance of hurting or killing someone.
As a society do you think we should let them take that chance with our lives?
-
Look I like to get looped as the next guy.
But when I do I call a cab.
I would not be able to live with the knowledge of killing someone just because I was stupid enough to drive drunk when it was so easy to avoid.
Indeed is my right to have a good time more important than you right to LIFE.
Ofcourse not.

lies
over 65% of all auto fatalties are caused by SOBER drivers, so we should start arresting sober drivers, we need to get these killers off the roads.

I've got an idea. Let's punish people who harm other people.

I have a better idea,
let's punish people for the hell of it, and set up torture chambers, mass murders, a really nice dictatorship! Then extort the rest of the world, bluff the UN into giving us money and in the end, give our WMD's to Syria.
:D

Care to show us where you pulled those stats from?
And there is a huge difference between an accident and negligence= drunk driving.
As someone who worked on an ambulance for 8 years I can tell you you dont want to see what the after effects of some arse clown drunk driver has on there victims.
Nothing like seeing someones child with there brains stuck to the dash board becuase some drunk arse ran a stop light and nailed em.
Yep all fun and games till you see and smell that mess.

Sounds good to me.
We are a nation of Laws some good and some silly.
But with out them there is nothing stoping someone like me for instance from walking up to you on the street and bashing in your skull then taking you woman and having my way with her.
LOL now ofcourse you will say I will put my kung fu on old mrblack so that would never happen.
Well maybe but because of the LAWS in place to protect us from
the bad guys we are a little safer than we would be if left up to the law of the jungle.
So yes we should punish those who harm others and in the case of drunk drivers we know that in time if not punished or cured they will kill someone while driving drunk.
But then again maybe we should just sit on our hands and waite for them to run into someone and kill them then we JUMP into action.
Just hope the someone they run into and kill aint one of your loved ones.

When I lived in PA they had signs that were all over the roads:
DUI, You CAN'T afford it.
And they werent kidding, I had two friends that got them, after thier court date they came home with a payment book to keep track of your monthly payments. Of course this didnt help any after they took away your licsense.
