I'm thankful no one was hurt-that would have been worse than horrific! I was just sentenced so I know my punishments and I've been on probation for a few weeks now. My attorney cost me $2500 dollars and I was sentenced to all of the minimum requirements you can receive for getting an extreme DUI. Some moments I feel hopeful and some moments I feel hopeless. Tonight I appreciate any kind words or thoughts anyone can offer.
