He was piss-drunk.

You know how this happens. We have all been there, we have all done that:
When you drink too much, you dance like no one's watching, you talk too loud, you say things you wouldn't say sober, you draw your service-side-arm, walk up to a random car and unload it into the passengers.

And then you spend the next 17 months on paid vacation even though the deed is caught on a security-camera.

It took 17 months to get to the stage where he takes a plea-deal. For 9 years. The maximum-sentence is 25 years.

The sentencing will be on December 2nd.
