Court sentenced drunk driver to 2 years prison and lifetime driving ban for fatal traffic offense.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court convicted the defendant of intentionally endangering road safety and driving under the influence, resulting in a two-year prison sentence and a lifetime ban from operating vehicles. The prosecution argued for a lifetime ban due to the defendant's high level of intoxication and lack of prior record, while the court found the lifetime ban mandatory under the relevant traffic law. Consequently, the court combined the sentences, imposed a monetary compensation to the victim's fund, and waived procedural costs due to the defendant's financial hardship.
