DUI Offender Ordered to Carry Photo of Victim

It's the busy time of year for DUI attorneys, people seem to be getting them left and right and my phone hasn't stopped ringing. Good for me, bad for them. Over all it is sad though, I just wanted to share a penalty that was handed down to a drunk driver in PA in 2002. The drunk driver actually killed a young girl and was ordered to carry a picture of the victim in his wallet. His lawyer objected to that portion of the punishment but was over ruled. The judge decided to allow this being it was requested by the victims family. This punishment has always stuck in my mind for some reason and I wanted to share the story with everyone.
