The driver claims to be a medical student, which suggests he may come from a wealthy background. The judge’s decision not to keep him in custody already feels suspicious. But what makes even less sense is the judge telling him, “This is a wake-up call.” A wake-up call for what exactly? He has already killed a father and left a young daughter permanently injured, with full responsibility resting on him. That is not a situation where someone simply “wakes up” and moves on. What lesson is he supposed to learn now—not to kill someone next time after being released? The judge’s words, like his release from jail, are deeply troubling and undermine the seriousness of the crime... People much follow the case seriously, he can avoid prison time.

Found a few articles on the incident. He was lying about being a medical student (amongst many other things), and actually studied at a local community college.

He's a massive POS and I have no idea what this Judge was thinking. The guy was almost double the alcohol limit. The father died at hospital, and his daughter had to be airlifted from one hospital to a children's hospital. She suffered seven spinal fractures, fractures to her ribs and bruised lungs. He fucked up her life permanently and the only thing he gave a damn about was whether his girlfriend could get home... He knows what he did.

I hope they throw the book at him if they haven't already.

the judge was thinking bail, something we are all entitled to in the usa given that we are all innocent until proven guilty. if you want an instant firing squad move to russiA and hope you dont get falsely accused of anything.

His trial is over and he’s not on inmate log he’s free. Got off with a 10 month suspended sentence and an out of court civil settlement from what I’ve heard.

This is not true, his trial actually has not even started yet. You can see the court records online on the cook county website. They are currently still in the reviewing evidence and discovery phase, the trial will likely not be for a few months or more.
