    This is a disappointment in that a lot of young kids look up to him. As for it being a mistake and he is sorry, I believe the only thing he is sorry for is getting caught. As a former police officer, I have seen up close and personal the results of DUI, and untill you have an infant pass away in your arms as a result of drunk driver, then you will think differnetly as it was just a mistake. He made his choice and now he should be treated just as everyone. Prosecuted to full extent of law for first time offenders. He should also should be ordered by court to do public speaches on this experience, and if I were a sponsor, I would drop him like a bad habit. Sorry for the vent, but this brings back bad memories and I do hope he does learn and that their are other alterternatives besides getting behind the wheel drunk.
