TL;DR

A Wisconsin man with at least five drunk driving offenses is facing charges for a crash that killed four people. Scott C. Farmer was driving his pickup truck in the wrong lane when he collided head-on with an SUV carrying four siblings, all of whom died. Farmer has been charged with multiple counts, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle.

Critics argue that this leniency contributes to repeat offenders and the need for stricter penalties.
