Chicago DUI lawyer comments on another prosecutor's DUI arrest

I've posted about DUI arrests of judges, police, and prosecutors on this blog. Now comes word of another prosecutor's arrest for DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.


A Marion County deputy prosecutor was arrested Saturday in Broad Ripple on preliminary charges of driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident.

DePrez had been driving east on 61st when her vehicle struck another car, police said. DePrez backed up and drove away, police said. She turned south on Winthrop before being pulled over by a police officer, the report said.

Police officers smelled alcohol on DePrez's breath before administering three field sobriety tests, which she failed, the report said. DePrez then agreed to take a certified test, which produced the 0.15 reading, according to the police report.

Here's the question for MADD, if law enforcement, judges, and prosecutors aren't able to avoid DUI's, how successful have their efforts been to decrease drunk driving?
