It seems to me that people are mad a Phelps for calling it a mistake. It was a mistake, he drank too much and got behind the wheel. I made a mistake today and drove too fast, I put lives in danger.
I am not trying to make light of drunk driving, but if you want to disagree, disagree with the judge. He is the one who determined the penalty, all Phelps did was defend himself the exact same way I would if I were in the same situation.
Not to get in a legal discussion here, but most of our problems with our legal system sits with judges who legislate from the bench and lawyers who have no sense of right or wrong, just winning and losing.
