People v. Rodriguez1/5/2005
on is generally reserved for convicted criminals whose conditional release into society poses minimal risk to public safety and promotes rehabilitation. [Citations.]" (People v. Carbajal (1995) 10 Cal.4th 1114, 1120.) Without a doubt, a "severe threat to the public safety . . . is posed by the intoxicated driver. . . . Drunken drivers are extremely dangerous people." (Taylor v. Superior Court (1979) 24 Cal.3d 890, 899.)
At the time of the collision, appellant was three months away from turning 25. He was employed, and was engaged to be married. Appellant had attended classes, counseling, and AA meetings. He claims to have a supportive family. He should have been mature enough, settled enough, and educated enough to comply with the law and the condition of probation that he not drive with any measurable alcohol in his system. Unfortunately none of these things stopped appellant from consciously putting people's lives in danger. It is doubtful that his remorse alone will eliminate the risk to society.
