Fair play for owning his error of judgement and poor actions.
$3.4k fine and 3 days jailtime is a daft sentence for a multimillionaire. It's a high profile case that the authorities had the opportunity to send a strong message. They could have offered him a choice: 2 months in jail assuming good behavior and turn over 10% of his total [not net] wealth. That would have people thinking twice before jumping in their car after a couple of cocktails. DUI is a business in CA. I've always been amazed at the amount of billboards stating 'don't pay that fine until you've spoken to...' So it's no surprise people don't take it seriously.
At least he survived it and more importantly no innocents were hurt. Now lets get Spence vs Crawford done this year and not when there both old men.
