How to write a letter to a judge in sentencing of my son for 3rd DWI offense?

Similar questions: write letter judge sentencing son 3rd DWI offense.

He needs to be off road. A third DWI isn't an accident, it's a pattern of behavior.

Perhaps I should explain a bit further. S first and second DWI's were within a couple of months of each other right after he started college. Fraternity specials, and almost 10 years old (almost) and 13 years from now.

S third was 3 years ago. He has had no tickets since then, none. He has done all court ordered bale provisions, including paying for a monthly blow device for these three years.

He is a responsible community citizen, home owner, church member and community activist, volunteering in many civic organizations. He did this before and after the DWI. He has two small children and a wife.

He went to court on the case and lost to an all woman 6 person jury. He has had many people write letters on his behalf, including clergy, sheriff's deputies, lawyers, and businessmen. But, I am his father, and need to write something special.

Just thought someone could give me an idea. Prairierattler 7 days ago .

I don't get it. He's going to court on a three year old case, or he got another one? .

In the state of Louisiana, if that means anything. Prairierattler 7 days ago .

He deserved to lose it. If you're implying that he lost because you're in Louisiana, you're just wrong. In any case, if you're going to write the judge a letter, just say about your son what you said here.

I'm sure he's not a bad guy, but he's had his three strikes. In Colorado, he'd be in jail.

He will in La also. Come January 10. Mandatory jail time, but could get work release so his kids will still have a roof over their head. I'm not implying anything.

It is what it is. Was just looking for some words. Perhaps this is the wrong place to ask.

Sorry I took your time. Prairierattler 6 days ago .

You're a dad, I understand. I still say just say what you said here. Tell the judge what a good guy he has become, and how at least he needs to have work release so that he can support his family.It's a hard lesson, and I'm sure he'll never do it again.

But you have to realize that (and being in Louisiana, I'm sure you understand), that three DWIs is a big deal.

Your Honor, Thank you for locking my son up, he is an alcoholic and so far has been lucky enough not to have killed someone. I am hoping some time behind bars will help him sober up and get his life straight. Sincerely, prairierattler .

Ask the judge if he would consider a court ordered rehab program, it's usually for 1 year. I know 2 young men, 1 is 18, the other 20 who were ordered to rehab for 1 year due to their DWI's. If they leave rehab early they go to jail for the rest of their original sentences, 5 years By the way, how old is your son?

Maybe you could make an appointment to see the judge ahead of the trial and explain your situation. Maybe you can get a settlement outside of court.

I understand that this is your child, and you love him, but come on. THREE DWI'S? He needs help, and going to jail might be a good place for him to admit he has a problem.

If he continues to get off scot free, then he will continue to drive drunk until he kills himself or someone else.Do you want that on your mind? Stop enabling him. Let him suffer the consequences of his actions.

It doesn't really matter that he has children and a wife, that he belnogs to a church, owns a home, or anything else. He was driving drunk, and that is not what a responsible community citizen does. And the fact the you make it sound like it is the fault of an all woman jury does not sit well, with me.

If he did not drink and drive, putting every single person on the road in danger, then this entire conversation would not be taking place. I'm sorry. As I said before, I totally understand where you, as a parent, are coming from.

But as a person who had a friend and her small child killed because some *responsible citizen* got shi*t faced and then drove, I have no problem with saying he needs to go to jail. No responsible citizen drives while drunk.

Sorry for your loss. This was probably not the right forum for me to ask the question. I'll bow out from now.

But, just because he got a DWI doesn't mean he was "shi*t faced. You would have to be there. Wrong place to get help, I'm thinking.. prairierattler 6 days ago .

You have to be legally drunk to get a DUI. That means sh*t faced. And yes, if you expected us to help you get your son off on his THIRD DUI, then you are in the wrong place.

Responsible citizens don't get any, much less three.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
