Jonathan Vilma Arrested - Confirmed

im a little confused here. why are people glad that its possibly not a DUI, cause wouldnt that mean that the consequences for his actions are more serious? i dont live in the US so im not exactly "familiar" with the intricacies of the justice system, or if they can charge you with almost killing/injuring someone

plus if it wasnt a DUI, wouldnt that be of more concern because theres really no excuse for almost killing/injuring two people and resisting arrest when u are fully aware of what you are doing.
