Granted, it was her sixth driving while intoxicated conviction. Rose Ann Davidson, 44, of San Marcos, Texas, was sentenced to life in prison by a jury yesterday. Rose was pulled over by a cop who noticed her driving erratically in the early morning hours of July 27, 2012. She was drunk and the officer found an open container of beer inside her car. Rose had five prior convictions for DWI dating back to 1996 and, at the time of her arrest in 2012, she was recently released from jail. We're not even going to try to justify Rose's illegal actions or bring up the race and class issue, but our country's sentencing guidelines just seem haphazard. Remember the man who got 203 in years in prison for stealing $100?
Sidebar: According to Rose's family, she never got into an accident while driving drunk.
