Why should people be held responsible for what's on their Facebook?

I just read people writing that the guy deserved being punished solely for whats on his Facebook account.

I may be the only one here who thinks this, but I find that most of these cases are basing their sentencing on pictures that aren't evidence of anything.

Pictures that "show character?"  Give me a break; I think the legal system was wrong here.  What kind of world is it now that I have to avoid having my picture taken because if my image is pictured with a glass of alcohol I'm pretty much now the root of all evil.  >_>

This actually pisses me off. Lets start hanging accused witches.  It's the same thing.

Clearly he didn't post it. Any Judge worth his weight would have thrown it out.

By the way, please DON'T miss the point of this topic.  It's not whether or not drunk driving is bad; it's whether or not Facebook pictures that picture completely irrelevant information being used against you based on "the nature of your character."  It's just a way to lie with fake proof.  It doesn't apply to specifically this story either, just in general.

Still, the whole 'costume' he wore was pretty fucking ridiculous and distasteful. I can be a pretty huge asshole, but to make light of a situation where I hospitalized a woman because of my own stupidity? Oh, man. In short, he probably had it coming, though the second example they give was sort of crossing the line; just because you have a picture holding a drink doesn't give them justification to convict you for 'having a good time' while the person victimized is breathing through a tube.

Facebook is turning into a myspace.

With all these people taking whore-pics of themselves..

Seriously. Few pictures is enough.
Don't need any "look at my breasts" or "I'm on the pole!" pics.

Wait, wait wait. They based their evidence off of a Halloween costume that he chose to wear and put pics online like 75% of the other members of the site do? Are they fucking on crack? How the fuck can they base their evidence on a photo online, that can clearly be photoshopped in any way shape or form. Not saying that that pic was, but how do these prosecuters know whether it's a real pic or not? That's fucking bullshit. And how do they know whether he had the costume picked out before the wreck or not? They have NO proof of that. That's poor judgment on their behalf, in my opinion.

But this part cracked me up the most:
"Pending sentencing, you should be going to (Alcoholics Anonymous), you should be in therapy, you should be in a program to learn to deal with drinking and driving," Perlin said. "She was doing nothing other than having a good old time."
Like, he's the ONLY college student that drinks and drives and needs to go to AA meetings. AA is for people that drink 24/7, not the night out on the town with your friends, even if he did get in a wreck. And what more do they expect from him? What's he supposed to do while the victim's in the hospital? Sit around wasting away life?

Even if it isn't a long time, two years in jail for something like that is harsh and total bullshit, especially with all these other crimes that are left unsolved that are far more severe than a freaking car wreck.
