Lerdo released this person on the basis that he is "considered a non-violent, non-serious, and non-sexual offender." So let's let him out after a few days, that'll teach him, and maybe he'll injure or kill someone the next time he driving under the influence. Three DUI's and basically the court is telling this guy it's ok that you're putting every other driver at risk you don't need to face any real punishment. Obviously this person has a serious alcohol problem that isn't getting better or going away. So I guess LEA can explain why he never did any time to the family of the person he hurts or kills next time. I'm sure they'll be happy to hear that he's not considered a threat to the public.

I myself do not drink and drive but why not? If I decided to drive drunk and there is no legal reason not to in this county I can, then again taking the lives of the people I might drive over is a good reason not to drive drunk so I decided to stick with the plan of not driving drunk! Maybe it's about time the voters in this county start electing some new people to our local services!

Why would Kern County want to fill all those bed in our local prisons? Then they would have to do something for their high paying jobs and we can't have that, then they would want another raise!Oh where Oh where is Sheriff Joe when you need him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in the whole spectrum of the galaxy of life 6 DUI priors is not that bad.

It's interesting, that Kern County has 3 correctional facilities, with over 1500 combined EMPTY beds. Yet, someone sentenced to 6 years, only does 81 days. And GPS anklets continue to get cut off all the time. The question is, "why didn't Kern County try to negotiate with Taft, Shafter and Delano for some or all of their EMPTY beds"? If they did, why WASN'T it made PUBLIC? It's obvious there is more crime. The scary part? Many criminals are now so brazen, they commit their crimes in the daytime, and several at a time. There is something wrong here.
