This guy Saban doesnt care if drunk drivers kill people. 9 Alabama players have gotton DUIs under Saban. Only 1 faced punishment.

Didn't know that matters

It doesn't matter in terms of getting a DUI, it does make it hard to kill someone as a drunk driver if you aren't driving.

I understand he was behind the wheel and the motor was running. he had passed out.
so did he decide not to drive or did Alabama nation get "lucky" and he passed out?

This guy Saban doesnt care if drunk drivers kill people. As long as he wins football games.

You think he passed out between the time he cranked the car and he went to put it in gear? That usually takes all of about three seconds, so I'd guess he made the decision to not drive because he was too impaired.

Winning is all that matters. You should probably just stay inside. Roll damn Tide

I mean he could have intended to drive but passed out before. Also, how is it a foregone conclusion that he wasn't drunk driving before he parked and passed out?
No trolling here, just haven't seen this discussed much.

he said they submitted him to 48 hour in-patient evaluation to see if he has an issue/problem, said they have education planned and punishment planned for the kid, but that he (player) did what they tell them to do - don't drive. Also pointed out how this will impact the kid and his future moving forward.
I swear, some of you are so blinded by your hatred for the man that you fail to see anything he does as positive.

I was responding to the OP talking about killing people. So yeah.

Maybe Saban knows more info than we do?

Here's the actual quote, in case anyone wants to see if they arrive at the same conclusion as AU24.
"Da'Shawn put himself in a bad situation, obviously made a mistake being where he was at the time. But the fact that he didn't drive the car, which is what we tell the players not to do -- and it's not OK that he was drinking, with me, and that's a behavioral issue that needs to be addressed, and we will address it -- but the fact that he didn't drive the car and wasn't driving the car and didn't put other people at risk, which to me is the most significant thing when you drive under the influence -- but he didn't drive."

I'm just glad he didn't injure himself or someone else

The fact that Hand wasn't driving doesn't make a difference. Per Ala. Code 32-5A-191, a person does not have to be driving to be convicted of a DUI in the state of Alabama. There only needs to be apparent control of the vehicle. This control does not have to be at the moment of apprehension. Case law has upheld convictions of persons asleep in the car when the person has been shown to have either been driving while intoxicated before falling asleep and if there are keys in the in possession of the defendant or in the ignition.
(a) A person shall not drive or be in actual physical control of any vehicle while:
(1) There is 0.08 percent or more by weight of alcohol in his or her blood;
(2) Under the influence of alcohol;
(3) Under the influence of a controlled substance to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving;
(4) Under the combined influence of alcohol and a controlled substance to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving; ?or
(5) Under the influence of any substance which impairs the mental or physical faculties of such person to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving.
