# Weak DWI Defense Leads to Life Sentence | TadLaw

A gentleman was [arrested for DWI in Weatherford, TX](http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/weatherford-star-telegram/article140243138.html) and sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to the charge. To add insult to injury, he pleaded guilty and allowed the judge to assess his sentence.

In a state where we have one trial to determine if the defendant is guilty, and a second trial to determine sentencing, we believe the defendant could have obtained better results in his case, had he put up a fight.

## A Habitual DWI Offender

According to the Weatherford Star-Telegram, the defendant was arrested on ten previous occasions for DWI, convicted on four felony DWI charges., and still drinks “because he likes it.”

The judge sentenced the 48-year-old to 66 years in prison.
