After being convicted for his 10th Texas DWI, a Montgomery County man has received a Double-Life sentence. He was also charged with threatening a public servant (retaliation).

## Is Double-Life Sentencing a bit Much?

Depends on who you ask.

**No one was killed** in this case and it appears that this man needs counseling & treatment rather than a double life sentence. Also, considering the jury was only informed that he only had “more than 3 DWIs”, shows the importance of prudent jury selection in addition to the potential retribution a jury can inflict on a defendant seen as a threat to society.

## A Moral Sentencing?

It appears that **Bobby Gene Martin** was sentenced for his potential to be a threat and not for some great tragedy committed at his hands. People who have wiped out entire families due to [intoxication manslaughter](https://tadlaw.com/resources/texas-dwi-resources/dwi-intoxication-manslaughter/) aren’t even sentenced to a degree this far in extent.
