Chicago DUI attorney comments on yet another celeb's subsequent DUI

This Chicago DUI attorney recently posted here about a police officer who received awards from MADD being charged with a DUI, the DUI was subsequently dropped but he still faces serious criminal charges.

Earlier this week, across the pond, George Michael pled guilty to yet another DUI.  

Singer George Michael pleaded guilty in a British courtroom Tuesday to two drug offences related to a July incident in which he smashed his car into a London camera shop.
In a 15-minute appearance at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court, Michael admitted to driving under the influence of drugs and possessing cannabis at the time of the crash.
Judge Robin McPhee banned the hitmaker behind Faith and Father Figure from driving for six months, and sternly warned he could face a prison sentence.
"It is a serious matter. Your driving was extremely poor and there was an accident," McPhee said, adding that Michael has already had one conviction.
Three years ago, Michael was found slumped over the wheel of his car, which was blocking an intersection.


While the large number of celebrities, cops, politicians, and every day people from all walks of life charged with DUI continues to increase, she still believes it’s time to address the root causes of DUI.  Let’s start with your thoughts on these questions.

Why did this happen?  

What lessons can we learn from this DUI?  

How can we avoid this happening to others?  

What happened?

I always tell my clients I hope to never see them again.  I also share with them ways to avoid a subsequent DUI arrest.  I always tell them to share that information with their friends and family.
