Man gets year in jail in resentencing for drunk driving wreck that killed one

The family of a Lufkin teen who died in a drunk driving accident two years ago was heartbroken Friday after hearing the final sentence handed to the man responsible.

It is clear that money talks, but sometimes justice is served by whom you least expect it. One day we all will find out how much Grampa paid. What will the judge do when this low life thief and drunk goes out a free man and kills again? Get the trash of our roads!!!! This man should pay for his actions just like the law says!

I would like to add that there is no way for us to know all the details of this case. We can only assume we can draw a conclusion. This county for years has protected the "good ol boy" club and will continue to do so until they are investigated and finally made to follow the law. Now, For the family do not stop here as you should press for civil liability in this case and make his time in jail the easiest part of the process. Once he is made to pay millions in restitution from a federal or state court he will think about it each and everyday. DO NOT let the light sentence get you down as you will find it hurts more than a year in jail to pay the rest of your life. Make sure you set up a foundation and keep the childs memory close to heart. In the long run, there is a reason for everything and you could make this a healing process for you. I know, I have been there myself.
