If you're behind the wheel and you're "mildly" buzzed, well...your driving could be impaired. Reflexes, amongst other things might be a tad off....could be the difference between life/death.
It's not illegal to be UNDER the limit and drive....but I don't care how slim the margin was that he was over the limit...bottom line, he was over the limit and CHOSE to drive. He deserves whatever sentence he got.

See, you're the kind of idiot that will end up killing someone with that kind of rationale. Idk where you live but here in my city over the limit is .08 (i know that its different everywhere though). But with the rationale of "oh i'm a big dude and i can drink a lot and just be buzzed because of my body mass", that will lead to people saying "oh i've drank my whole life and i can handle my alcohol" and other types of thinking like that. While you say that it's not illegal to drink and drive, that's technically incorrect. There's a difference between DUI and DWI and you can legally be arrested for driving after one drink. Does it happen? Very rarely. But it can.

He didn't get off light but 20 days for a DUI isn't harsh, either. He put lives at risk and no amount of charity work or good will changes that. Those things play no part in his choosing that night to drive drunk. He's mature enough to know that despite his lawyer's protest. Hell, he was lucky enough that ESPN took him right back after the DUI.

You need more evidence than an unfavorable sentence to label this judge a racist...BUT it's not at all a reach to believe that race was a factor here.
BTW, what exactly is the "race card"? Cause some of y'all be real quick to point out and get all upset when you feel like someone is using it...like we all live in a world where color is transparent and doesn't effect the people's opinions and decision making.

Precisely, I got 2 DUI's in one week they gave me 45days in the county, and 90days EHM (ankle bracelet) and 2 1,000 fines, + victims panel & drug assessment. I had a good lawyer. Judges don't ever really make the decision, they go w/ the prosecutors recommendation, and the judge just co-sign's.

Info about the judge, apparently she's notorious for giving jail time on 1st offense DUI offenders...in spite of research saying that jail time is not effective.
At least she's consistent.

No, he's right. Driving with a level of .12 doesn't mean he's drunk, everyone has a different tolerance to alcohol. Someone with .02 BAC could be just as dangerous as someone with a .12.
These tests don't test the ability to drive, they test the alcohol level in the body, which doesn't determine someones ability to drive. You are more likely to get hit by someone who falls asleep at the wheel, but "falling asleep at the wheel" isn't illegal.
I have a patient now that has Multiple Sclerosis, which disrupts someones central nervous system. They suffer from loss of balance, poor coordination, problems moving their extremities. This patient has a card signed by his neurologist stating "This person will not pass a coordination test.", that is specifically for Police if they get pulled over. So these people should be allowed to drive? The card is telling you that the person has abnormal reflexes, but yet is still allowed to drive?
