Our legal system has been ruined by yahoos stirring up panic and passing mandatory sentencing laws such as this.

Sentences should be passed down by judges / juries, not politicians. When these hack prosecutors and the zealots at MADD complain, that's a good thing.

The statute defines felony DWI as the fourth drunken driving offense in a 10-year period.

I think after the fourth time most would agree a little prison time is appropriate.
