Book Excerpt
Excerpt From Chapter 5 Paying the Penalty-Pay, Pay, and More Pay If anyone would have told me that a second DUI would cost me 4 months in jail, deportation, loss of job, loss of house and car, loss of a wife and 1 million dollars in earnings. I would have considered them insane. This is America, isn't it? The land of the free, where there is a fair justice system and the penalty fits the crime, doesn't it? I'll let you be the judge for yourself as you read on in this chapter.
