The three strikes and you're out law is harsh. However in this case I believe justice has been served, he killed one and injured 2 people in 1988, whilst drinking and driving (and only served one year?). This time he was racing at 120 mph would have killed anyone he hit in his inebriated state therefore it's his third offence.

What shocked me though was that drink driving is only a MISDEMEANOUR in California, WTF are they playing at. comments stating check your alcohol level when you feel sober after 2 pints are unreal. I thought USA had a strong anti drink culture.
