Tampa DUI - MADD and the Florida Legislature

Tail Wags the Dog: "Toughen DUI laws; don't ridicule - It's hard to be overly critical of state Sen. Mike Fasano, whose answer to drunken driving is forcing pink license plates on the vehicles of convicted DUI offenders. Embarrassment, the New Port Richey Republican said, might make people think twice about drinking and driving. And, who knows, perhaps next year could come purple plates to signal those who maim and kill by chronic speeding or running of red lights. Satisfying as humiliation might be, it's probably not the most effective way to restrict or prohibit drunken drivers from getting behind the wheel again."

Tampa DUI Attorney - Man in DUI Death Case to Get Lesser Sentence

Man in DUI death case to get lesser sentence: "Man in DUI death case to get lesser sentence. A circuit judge says that [the man] has shown remorse about the car accident that resulted in the death of [another man] last year.

[From the St. Pete Times]

DADE CITY - Four months ago all that stood between [the man] and a reduced prison sentence was whether he felt remorse.
How was the 23-year-old Land O'Lakes man affected by the charge of DUI manslaughter and the 2004 death of an acquaintance?
A judge wasn't sure whether [the man] felt bad for [the victim] and his family, or felt bad that he was going to prison. After [the man] pleaded no contest in August, Circuit Judge Lynn Tepper refused to reduce his state-minimum sentence of 10 years, four months. . . . 'I am satisfied you have shown remorse," the judge said. "I am prepared to reduce your sentence.'"
