Victim pleads for maximum punishment in DUI case
In Aiken a frail accident victim begged Judge Gary Clary to punish Christopher Leon Miles after a 1995 crash that left Joy Hoffman Bressler badly injured and her husband nearly harmed. Miles, 96, pleaded guilty to two felony DUI counts and drew 15 years on each. Restitution of 243000 was ordered, with payment tied to future windfalls. Miles could face further prison time if drug tests fail or restitution is unpaid. The Bresslers described job loss and ongoing medical needs from the crash on S.C. 118.
