Think you have to look at it for what it is. DUI laws in the US, compared to other Western countries, are fairly relaxed. Even for DUI manslaughter you’re looking at less than 10 years. I was a witness to a crash that took two little girls. Most gut wrenching experience of my life. The guy who hit the van was legally drunk (partying at a brew house down the road for his 23rd b-day) and sentenced to six years. He was let out after 2.5 years. That was during Covid so sure it played a role, but wasn’t surprised. I’m not advocating for super strict sentences but man, if you’re drunk don’t drive.
