The judge knew that Sgt. Joseph Serna had been through a lot.
Yup, almost killed 3 times, and has 3 Purple Hearts and other decorations. He also has something else.... A bad case of PTSD that he has struggled with for years. So when the man admitted flunking a piss test, the judge sentenced him to 24 hours in jail.... then joined him in his jail cell for the entire time. The judge knew what was going on in that vet's head, because he spent time deployed himself during the Gulf War.
That judge deserves a toast. There are not many like him.
