Jim Zumbo's anti-gun blog

I agree about that. The laws for criminals need to be a lot harsher, and I am not just talking about gun crimes. I am talking about all crimes. I have represented a guy over the past 3 years on 5 different occassions, and he continued to get probation after probation, and I almost got him a weekend sentence on his violation of probation for his second DUI, which I hadn't represented him on to begin with. The Judge finally said no way, but it took him 5 minutes of deliberation to come to that conclusion. He sentenced him to a month. Yeah, I felt bad for my client, but I felt good for society in general. My client did 21 of the 30 days because of good behaviour and then told me it was a good vacation from work with cable TV, 3 meals a day, and free time to workout and sleep. Since then, he got his 3rd DUI and if you read the police report it would make you sick. I no longer represent him. Criminals should be required to do hard labor, period, even if it entails digging a hole, filling it back up, and digging it again.
