Drunk Driver Paul Pelosi Sentenced To A Slap On His Pampered Wrist – Opinion

April 28Th, when Nancy Pelosi was in DC, maybe nursing a headache over her second scotch on the rocks – Paul Pelosi was barreling down a country road, drunk. Paul drove his Porsche into a stop sign before crashing into a Jeep. Both cars were destroyed in the accident.

While still sitting in his Porsche, Paul handed his “CHP11-99 Foundation” card ( a card given to charity donors) to the responding county deputies like it was his get-out-of-jail-free card. The card almost was. There was an effort to cover up or make it “go away” because he’s a Pelosi, and rich. Paul’s pals in government tried but failed to make it a non-event. The local DA stonewalled the media. Pelosi hired a public relations firm to get it out of her hands. Mugshots, which are usually available right away, were not found.

Government toadies who were beholding to Pelosi and his “Do you know who I am?” type of attitude and money were trying as late as two weeks after Pelosi nearly killed someone, to make it go away.

The heat got too much, and the DA finally acted like a prosecutor to charge Paul Pelosi for two misdemeanors. Pelosi was again a wrecker of two cars and almost killed the driver. Pelosi should have been charged with felony DUI. It is likely that he had other substances in his system than alcohol. But he’s Paul Pelosi, and rich.

Pelosi originally pleaded not guilty. Pelosi changed his mind when the DA agreed with his lawyer to terms on Tuesday. Pelosi pled to one count – violating California Vehicle Code 23153(a), a misdemeanor. The second count was dismissed “in the interest of justice”. Pelosi was not in court because he doesn’t have to be. His attorney made a “977” appearance for him.

Although the sentence contains a five-day jail term, it does not include any actual prison time. Pelosi was given credit for four days by the presiding judge. Two of those days were “actual time served”, and two were for “conduct credits”. California has a misdemeanor sentence reduction that cuts the sentences in half. How is this calculated? Pelosi was detained and brought to jail just before midnight. Those few minutes are credited as a “day” in custody. After he was released, another day was added to his credit. The “fifth” day will be spent in an 8-hour work program. Meaning – he will likely show up somewhere and read a book. Pelosi is unlikely to spend any time inside a cell other than for a few hours.

His sentence also includes a three month drunk driving course and one year of ignition interlock. He was sentenced to three years probation, and must also pay restitution. Raise your glass, Paul. Sweet deal.

Pelosi had no chance of prevailing at trial, and the “mystery” woman in the passenger seat of his now destroyed Porsche won’t have to appear as a witness and detail what Paul drank and consumed beforehand and what she was doing when Paul “blew” through a stop sign.

Paul Pelosi, in short, paid a price for what ought to have been a felonious DUI. It’s nice to be married to the wicked witch, and rich.
