I kinda have mixed feelings on this case. I get the sense that if he wasn't drunk, that he probably still would have hit and killed the pedestrian and would have gotten off without jail time. Obviously, I do believe that driving intoxicated is a serious offense.. However, I don't believe that you are at fault for causing an accident just because you are intoxicated. So, I believe he should have been suspended and jailed for driving while under the influence but maybe not at fault for the accident.
Now, that's just my opinion based upon what I've heard about the case.
