Billy Lane sentenced to 6 years in prison
#21
May be wrong but the guy he ran over was drunk also. I know it doesn't much matter. It could have been a child or other person. I think he got maxed out, as I have seen even non-famous people get off with alot less time than what he got. If he paid off the faimliy he sure didn't get much for his $$. 6 years is alot of time in jail.
#22
Even if he serves the full term of his sentence, the lifetime suspension of his drivers lic. will have a real impact on his lifestyle,can't see him living out rest of his life not being able to ride.
#23
I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall that his license was suspended when all this happened. If that's indeed the case, a lifetime suspension would really not prevent him from riding again.
#24
Maybe he'll join the European component of biking, and get a license there once he gets out. Tons of bike activity across the pond. He at least has some options. His victim didn't.

[places soap box squarely in front of the audience]
In my opinion, he should be euthanized. If you kill some one overtly (as in drunk driving) you should pay with your life. period.

IJMHO, Sending him to prison isn't going to solve any problems. Let him continue to do what he's really good at by building bikes, do community service (Lecturing in TV commercials, Magazines, Schools, and MADD Organizations) for the rest of his life with no driving priviledges, pay the Morelock Family 1 million dollars upfront then 10% of every his bike/residual sales and be a part of the Morelock Family for the rest of his life.

He will be doing community service and crap when he gets out of prison. I think I read somewhere (maybe here, lol) that he got a somewhat lighter sentence because his celebrity/notoriety will be used to campaign against driving drunk.
He'll be out of prison in something less than 6 years, I guess. He also had his driving priviledges revoked for life. Gonna be tough for him to maintain his image when he's riding bitch.
