Shock Probation in DUI cases about to get tougher

Under a proposed new law, Kentucky judges would no longer be able to grant shock probation to defendants who kill someone while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. House Bill 192, sponsored by Reps. Tom Riner (D. Jefferson) and Tim Moore (R. Hardin), was passed by the House Judiciary Committee yesterday, and will now go to the floor for a vote of the entire Kentucky House of Representatives.
