NJ Man Pleads Guilty to 15th DUI

MORRISTOWN, N.J. (July 1) – A New Jersey man whose driver's license has been suspended 78 times has pleaded guilty to his 15th drunken-driving offense.
Shaun Campbell of East Rutherford told a judge Tuesday that he had been drinking "quite a bit" of beer when he crashed his SUV head-on into a pickup in April. The truck's occupants, a man and his 4-year-old daughter, were not seriously hurt.
The 40-year-old Campbell's blood-alcohol level was .288 percent, more than triple the state's legal limit.
Authorities say Campbell's license has been suspended 78 times in 22 years. He still faces drunken-driving charges in two other New Jersey cities.
Prosecutors are seeking a maximum prison term of nearly three years at Campbell's sentencing in August. He will lose his license for at least 10 more years.

Why is this man free? He should have been put in jail after the 2nd conviction. I don't know how he hasn't killed anyone yet but he obviously won't comply. He should be behind bars! The last 20 judges are fools!

cheaperbird5: Spoken like a true drunk! Drunk driving is just the tip of the iceberg. You have domestic violence, child abuse, assault, murder, treatment for drunks, increased insurance rates. The list is endless. All backed up by paperwork in every state and city in this country. But when caught they all claim that they didn't know what they were doing because they were drunk. Really a poor excuse.

there comes a point in time where the standard sentence needs to be passed over this man clearly has a total disreguard for anyone else and if he is free he will drive drunk,so keep him locked up before he kills someone
