Third DUI Gets (Hattiesburg Ms) Man Life Sentence

A Hattiesburg man has been sentenced to life in prison after his third drunk driving conviction.
Referring to the recent sentencing of Mark Allen Debrow, 37, District Attorney Jon Mark Weathers said he had pledged to punish habitual offenders.
"In our judgment, Debrow represented a significant risk to the public," Weathers said.
One of Debrow's prior convictions was in the 1990s, when he was convicted of aggravated assault after hitting someone while driving drunk, records show.
Victims' advocate June Renfrow said all victims want is justice.
"When a person receives a sentence and it's not just a slap on the wrist, then often that's the only way victims or their families can move forward with their lives," Renfrow said.

after his third drunk driving conviction So be it. Better him in jail, than some innocent person dead by his repeated negligence.

Did this guy kill someone while driving drunk or did he just get 3 DUIs?
To: Borges
No way this won't stands up to appeal. Right, like they don't have three stikes rules. Many people are in jail for life for 3rd crimes!

Far cry from the Denver judge White in the 18th judicial district that just was allowed to walk even though he refused a blood test and a roadsides after arrested for suspician of DUI, reckless driving and speeding 65 in a 40 mph zone. Colorado law requires 1 year suspension of license for refusals, and SR-22 classification, level II alcohol classes.

That seems to be the general theme here.
It's almost like people don't have faith
in the justice system.
I wonder why that is.
