Letters: What the punishment should be for repeat drunken driver

Re “Former Sacramento State baseball player among 4 killed by alleged drunk driver” (sacbee.com, Nov. 27): The Sacramento Bee’s Benjy Egel reports that a car crash involved multiple cars and four people who died, including a former Sacramento State baseball player and his son, and two other victims. The alleged cause of this tragic incident was a drunken driver, who has had multiple DUI’s and a suspended license. I believe that the driver, Fred Lowe, should be sentenced to life, because he caused too much harm, and repeated the same criminal offense, driving under the influence.
