6th offender on bond gets a pass on SCRAM requirement

Channel 4 News in Nashville has run a story that examines a situation in which a 6th DUI offender with a vehicular fatality in his background was released after failing to comply with a bond condition that he have a SCRAM ankle bracelet as a bond condition. The offender never got the SCRAM. He appeared in Court and got fussed at a bit. Then he was sent on his merry way until March with instructions to do what he was previously ordered to do.

The story includes quotes from Millie Webb. Millie as many of us know was nearly burnt to death in a car crash with an impaired driver about 40 years ago. She recently had two more surgeries due to that crash and if I am not mistaken has had over 30 major surgeries. She is motivated by a desire to save others from having to suffer the way she has suffered.

The system we use for bond, which relies on the offender and bondsman to make sure the Court's orders are followed does not come out looking good in this story!
