That's absurd and not justice. In no way is that sentence proportional to the crime...I agree completely. Although DUI is stupid behavior and should not be tolerated, there's no way to justify a sentence usually applied to murderers if no harm was done to anyone, even it it was his 100th offense. This reeks of 'Minority Report' and should never happen in a free society.

It's no diffent than if the closed their eyes and fired a gun at random.

In Minority Report they were convicted before committing a crime. DUI is a crime.
He is being sentenced for crimes already committed.
