.40? Isn't that like technically dead or something?

I believe the medical term is "embalmed".

WEATHERFORD, Texas - A Parker County jury sentenced a Weatherford man to life in prison after being convicted of his ninth DWI.

George Michael Carter, 54, pleaded guilty on Monday to an August 2009 drunken driving charge.

According to medical records admitted into evidence during the trial, Carter's blood alcohol concentration was 0.45 when it was taken about an hour after he got into a single-car crash on Bethel Road south of Weatherford.

"In the 15 years I have been a prosecutor in Parker County, I can't recall seeing a DWI case with a higher blood test," said Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain. "To get to the point where your body could tolerate that much alcohol without dying or falling into a coma, a person would have to drink a tremendous amount with regularity."

Carter has been convicted in three prior misdemeanor DWI cases and five felony DWI cases.

"In light of Mr. Carter's repeated drunk driving behavior and given the egregiousness of the current offense, we asked the jury to sentence him to life in prison," Swain said.

District Attorney Don Schnebly said he hoped the jury’s verdict would permanently prevent the man from jeopardizing the safety of the community.

Carter must serve a minimum of 15 years in prison before he is eligible for parole.

Good. Justice was served. Only a matter of time before he killed innocent people with his repeated stupidity.

I have an uncle who currently is at either 21 or 22. He USED to be very wealthy and money can buy a whole lot. He didn't do any real time till his 18th when he was in prison for a year.

He'll be back on the road, more drunk than ever, in 15 years

Wow, douche bag deserves it! 9 DWI's you would think he would eventually get the hint!

[ceyko]

I dunno, prison is either too good or something cause I don't see it working well for repeat offenders.

The generally good people who dick around too much and end up there tend to just learn their lesson. Folks that go back 2 or more times though are different.

Prison...another thread.
