Another week, another press release about how the McHenry County State’s Attorney is putting away another drunk driver…for a long time:
12 TIME DUI OFFENDER IS SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
Louis A. Bianchi, McHenry County State’s Attorney is pleased to announce that Daniel Munoz was sentenced to 10 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for two separate charges of Aggravated Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol.
Judge Joseph Condon also sentenced the defendant to a 6-year sentence on a related felony Driving While License Revoked charge.
Assistant State’s Attorney Philip Hiscock argued for a 15-year sentence due to the defendant’s extensive DUI related background. Munoz was previously found guilty of Driving Under the Influence on at least 12 separate occasions.
I am very happy to see that multiple repeater DUI drivers are finally getting more than a slap on the wrist; it is way to late to put them in jail only after they have killed one or more persons.
