- Life +10 for the killer of Shonte Ellis, shot 16 times while she sat in a parked car outside of The Clubhouse Bar.
- 40 years for Antwane Brown, who shot his neighbor in the back and paralyzed him

Heads up, boozehounds: the state is expanding the ignition interlock system to include DUI first-timers who blow more than .15. Sounds like one of these thingys

Laziness may be a factor, however, its (sadly) a lack of training. A ten year veteran told me that the majority of city officers lack the training to properly conduct SFSTs (standardized field sobriety tests). As a result, if there is no accident or open warrant, they write the perp up for something (usually open container) on a citation and park the car and cut em loose.
