I think the difference here is that I think the way he was treated should be the status quo and the way other people who don't have his family should be treated like he was. I don't think he should have gotten off worse-- I think a lot of other people should have gotten off better.
I also think that the expectation we can have of someone driving drunk in the past 20 years is different from 1969. It's like smoking while pregnant-- I think it's unconscionable to do it today, but that has been after huge campaigns to bring the issue to light.
