As I always say, Smith has every right in the world to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
That’s our system of law here, and we should all be grateful for it.

Having said that, if Smith is guilty of driving under the influence, then there’s simply no excuse for his actions. There’s never an excuse to get behind the wheel after drinking.
Get an Uber, get a friend to drive you home or stay where you are. Whatever you do, don’t hop behind the wheel while under the influence.
It’s just not worth it. It’s not worth it at all.

Hopefully, the authorities can get to the bottom of what happened and Smith can learn from this situation if he’s found guilty.
