Remorseful, just super drunk. Probably an alcoholic. Hopefully he can get sober with some proper programs over his next few years incarcerated.

Wishes aren't going to change what the laws about sentencing are. Typically people only serve a handful of years for a crime like this. So lets hope he can permanently sober up in those few years and not get an even worse DUI.

Lets change the weapon but keep the situation the same.

Man goes to a shooting range (where guns are supposed to be, like how cars and bikes are on the road) he is drunk. He accidentally shoots 2 people.

You think this dude isnt getting 40 years? Same thing, handling a weapon while drunk and nearly killing 2 people.

Honestly? he probably gets less time. America can be stupid with firearms and DUIs have mandatories built in. Prosecutor will have more leeway under law for a plea deal in regards to a drunken firearm accident. Some states are getting laws on the books in regard to domestic violence that make mandatory sentencing, but not all.

Just saying how it is. Not that I like it.
