Sentenced To 52 WEEKENDS For Murder???!!!

Drunk Driver Sentenced To Weekends In Prison For Fatal Crash

Family Outraged At Defendant's Sentence

Honolulu, Hawaii -- A judge Wednesday sentenced a drunken driver who killed an elderly man to 52 weekends in jail.

Three years ago, after drinking beer with friends, Jason Lee Nicol, 23, hit a moped on the King Street off-ramp of the H-1 Freeway, killing Francis Basilio, 70.

"That's July Fourth. We planned to have barbecue with the whole family, but all we end up doing was the hospital telling us my dad died," the victim's daughter, Gina Agustine, said.

Nicol sobbed through most of his sentencing.

"I feel extremely ashamed of myself and I wish that I could take it all back, but I cannot. Please forgive me for what I've done. I'm so sorry," Nicol said.

Judge Richard Perkins was impressed with Nicol's remorse, his clean record and community service. Instead of the 10 years prosecutors wanted, Nicol was given 52 weekends in jail.

The Basilio family was outraged.

"Fifty-two weeks on the weekend, it's like Club Med. I'm going to get drunk right after this and go driving now that I can kill somebody and not worry about it. I have good character. I haven't done anything bad before. That's how I feel really," the victim's son, Frankie Basilio Jr., said.

Prosecutors said Nicol's sentence was not long enough to deter others.

The judge also ordered Nicol to serve 500 hours of community service and pay more than $20,000 restitution.

Terrible. I was actually hit by a drunk driver a couple of years ago on my way home from work...it was, w/o a doubt the scariest night of my life.

Luckily, I escaped with only scratches/bruises...however, if I had been killed...to think that the person responsible could have been sentenced to only 52 weekends...that's pretty f'd up...just shows you what a human life is worth to some people (like this judge)...apparently not a hell of alot.

Thank god my family didn't have to go through that pain. I can't imagine being in this family's position...or the pain they must be experiencing. My heart goes out to them:(

I think Frankie is right, he should find a bar new the Judge's house, get his ass really fucking plastered, wait for that stupid ass fucking Judge to come out of his house and run his fucking ass down. Hey he'll only get 52 weekends in Jail.

I don't think killing a judge will be 52 weekends... especially if he plans it like that.

And I noticed this... count the number of times you use the words "fucking" and "ass" in a phrase.:D

Yeah you're probably right, but what if he just got drunk and was driving around saw the judge and then ran him over? could you say that he planned it?

Also I said "fucking" 3 times

and "ass " 3 times

see i can count!
