Serna had been charged with driving while intoxicated.
Will the judge serve life with him when he kills someone because judges keep letting him off the hook?
Because I've had two different friends in two different decades killed by drunk drivers who got only a few years for taking people in their prime off the planet.
Drunk driving when you kill someone should be life. Parole eventually is fine but it should be a life sentence initially.
I think there are two separate things here - the DUI charge which presumably still exists, and a separate probation violation charge (triggered by the DUI arrest) which is what got him in front of this judge.
Whether the judge's actions here will have a long-term impact on Serna is something only time will tell, but I suspect that the knowledge that "hey, someone out there actually cares" can only help.
