Two Year Maximum for Murder

Did you know that the maximum sentence for killing someone while driving drunk is two years? In Boston, Mass., 23-year-old Bader Al-Saud, a member of the Saudi royal family, killed a pedestrian while driving under the influence in 2002. Dude plead guilty to the charges last week and was sentenced to ONE YEAR in the prison of his choice. His lawyers chose a county jail that happens to be located on Martha's Vineyard. How many killers do you think they have in that place?

"We agreed that he would serve his time in the Dukes County House of Correction- not because it is a lavish place. It is a real jail, there are bars on the windows and there are real jail cells. As we stated in our memo, we were apprehensive about his safety," said defense attorney Michael DeMarco.

Of course the victim Orlando Ramos' family is pissed. They told CNN that money talks and because he's rich he was able to get off rather lightly. But the article ended by saying that the maximum penalty for this crime is only two years. Now, I hope there aren't any potential killers reading this, because if you can get drunk and make it look like an accident, you can really do some damage. Two years ain't shit, especially if you can get a lawyer to talk it down to one. That sucks for the Ramos family. Perhaps after he does a year in county- not even prison, geesh- they should make him go to the Ramos household and do things for them that Orlando would usually do. He could mow the lawn and fix shit and pay bills and whatever else they make up. Like, "Orlando used to cook arroz con pollo every day!" Or maybe one of them could accidentally mow his ass over with their car.

Keep an eye out for the judge who handed down this pat at the Kentucky Derby next year. He'll probably be sitting in the good seats near the Bush family.
