you can thank MADD for this. one shot of nyquil for a cold, you're busted.
Then it would be like marijuana.
Incorrect.
It's just an estimation...but it'd take a man of Caputo's size 8 beers in one hour to reach the level he was initially tested at.
If and ONLY IF that was an accurate measurement. If you have read any of the other threads on this topic then you already know that the field test is not acceptable in a court of law. I guess it is okay to blast the guy if you have no idea what his BAC actually was. If it tested out at or over .08 then I agree that he should have been charged with DUI and he should not be allowed to play. If it was something less then a lesser charge is in order.
I cannot understand what all the bitching is about without any of us knowing what the actual facts are. I am willing to accept the fact that Bo does have all the facts and he made the decision based on those data. All this speculation is simply stupid.
Oh really? Do tell.
Sorry about my decimal points. I will defer to you experts and just keep my thoughts to myself. .079 just for the record is what I meant. The thought still stands.
This is the scenario as I understand it. Caputo drives to the bar, has a good time & gets drunk. It's time to go home. He gets in his vehicle and decides to sleep it off. Kinda cold out, so he runs the engine to keep warm.
Technically, this is DUI.
Reasonable folks saw the situation for what it was, and were thankful Caputo was smart enough NOT to drive in that condition.
Ya'll want to go on a witch hunt over something as pedestrian as that got too much time on your hands. Join a quilting club.

ooks to me like a just decision was made.

BINGO
This is only right if every single person that gets a DUI while not actually driving is given the option of the same way out. Until then it is just flat out BS.
What's the complaint? It's not like the law's being enforced nor the punishment more than an inconvenience...I say let boys be boys....they're supposed to be out getting drunk.....the odds are pretty good that it won't be my kid that gets killed by someone who's BAC was .0799999999999999 when he finally blew at the station.
Who's more irresponsible....those that are doing it or those that are condoning it?
Can anyone tell me exactly how many times people who are familiar with these situations have to say the punishment in this situation is not uncommon before all this horseradish about a sweetheart deal ends? At some point people need to figure out that pointing fingers and making wild accusations and proclamations about a situation without knowing what has actually happened is a bad idea.
Just because it's the common punishment (I had to laugh while typing that word), doesn't mean that it's not a sweetheart deal....maybe it means too many folks are getting sweetheart deals
I'm betting that pre-filing negotiations resulted in his attorney saying that if charged as DUI, this ends up with a trial...no deal, no matter what.
We don't know what his chemical test was. Instead of wasting prosecutor resources on a trial, they may have charged it as reckless with agreement to plea. They are guaranteed a conviction that way.
Not unusual.
Heard the same interview this morning. He said it was a very common deal. And he talked at length about how tough Lincoln is on DUIs. Ideally, they catch someone actually driving who tests over the limit (and no one gets hurt). Slam dunk DUI. But cases where the car isn't moving and is parked on private property are much tougher to get a conviction.
