Texas man gets 60 years for 10th DWI
53-year-old has served 5- to 10-year terms for earlier violations

GEORGETOWN, Texas - A Texas man has been sentenced to 60 years in prison
for his 10th conviction of driving while intoxicated since 1979.

Prosecutors say 53-year-old Anthony Lynn Falco of Taylor waived his right
to a jury trial and pleaded not guilty to the felony charge over the June
22 traffic stop.

A statement Tuesday from the Williamson County prosecutor says tests showed
Falco's blood alcohol content was 0.17 percent, more than twice the legal
limit for driving in Texas.

Prosecutor John Bradley says Falco had nine prior DWI convictions and
served prison terms from five to 10 years. He also had convictions for
theft, family violence assault and forgery.

Just goes to show that there are two, "justice," systems to be found
in america (sic). One for the high and mighty and one for the rest of
us. How you bought your way in to the high and mighty set (or maybe
screwed you r way in would be a better term) is beyond me. given the
number of people you have killed while driving.....

You can't be serious. He can't be expected to figure out that
society doesn't want him to drive around drunk after only being
arrested for it ten times. And since he's usually drunk off his a.s
when he drives around, how can you expect him to make good
decisions? All in all, don't you think that a slap on the wrist
would've been better?
