Oh, now it goes from “likely” BAC that he should have been charged with to “the law doesn’t matter”.
Jesus, man. Stop now.
Paul Pelosi got a reasonable sentence

Walt asked you 3 times where you "read" Paul Pelosi had a higher alcohol blood count that was reported in the OP. You ignored his question each time and trolled and insulted him instead.
You're damaged goods. You don't belong here. You're a gadfly, an irritant, nothing more. Begone.
You're nothing but a troll. And not even a good one.

The blood was drawn over two hours after the wreck. So there is no doubt it was considerably higher at the time of the wreck. Plus hospital chemistry machines are very accurate. So if I was on a jury he wouldn't have gotten away with it. Plus time served for literally two hours at the jailhouse is pretty light. He got basically a slap on the wrist for accident that could have easily resulted in a death. Pretty much what I thought he would get.

Do you ever shut the fuck up, pompous windbag?
Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s multi-millionaire husband’s blood alcohol content was likely much higher at the time of the accident that led to his DUI arrest than the official results of his blood test due to a delay of more than two hours before it was administered.
Paul Pelosi was first taken to a local hospital after the collision between his 2021 Porsche and another vehicle on Memorial Day weekend, giving him valuable time to sober up prior to his arrival at a Napa County jail, according Fox News Digital, which reported that authorities confirmed that the 82-year-old stock picking marvel was examined at Queen of the Valley Hospital for any potential injuries, “a routine step in a serious motor vehicle crash, according to the sheriff’s department.”
On May 28 at or around 10:17 pm, a caller to 911 emergency services first reported the accident that took place about 5 miles from Pelosi’s sprawling vineyard estate, according to a criminal complaint, with medics and Napa deputies arriving first on the scene although the incident was handled by the California Highway Patrol.
“Records show CHP officially arrested Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at 11:44 p.m., before they took the blood sample at their Napa office,” Fox News reported. “Police obtained the sample at 12:32 a.m. on May 29, 2 hours and 15 minutes after police received the 911 call. The result found his BAC to be .082%.”
According to Fox News, “Pelosi is 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs around 200 pounds, according to the criminal complaint. But the human body burns off alcohol at a standard rate of about .016% per hour, regardless of a person’s size, according to legal and medical experts. At the time of the crash, Pelosi’s BAC was likely higher than at the time of the test.”
“California lawyers are well aware that blood alcohol is [metabolized] at a fixed rate, so much per hour,” according to a retired attorney who spoke with Fox News Digital. “So the 0.82% of alcohol in Mr. Pelosi’s bloodstream hours after the crash can easily be converted to a substantially higher BAC at the time of the crash.”

How about you take your own advice?
BAC first goes up a bit, and then goes down slowly, so it could be a bit higher, or a bit lower. It would be unlikely that it would be considerably higher.
He got time served for two DAYS that he already served. Time served is the time he served before being bailed out. He was credited with two days, because he served two days.

Is that so Dr. Walt?
Alcohol leaves the body at an average rate of 0.015 g/100mL/hour, which is the same as reducing your BAC level by 0.015 per hour. For men, this is usually a rate of about one standard drink per hour. His time in the hoosegow spanded midnight. That gave him credit for two days even though it was literally two hours. He got two days credit for "good behaviour" and one day credit his final day will involve court appointed community service. Paul Pelosi did not sit behind bars for 48 hours.
What the better defense attorneys are pointing out is the absorption rate. That can be up to 2 hours for a single drink of alcohol. An absorption rate of 0.25 ounces of alcohol per hour would be typical.
So it is possible that he was driving around at 0.078%, and it went up to 0.084% after he was driving, and then dropped down to 0.082% when he was tested.
And remember, Paul Pelosi had the money to hire the best lawyers... There is a real problem with him doing that. He would be able to get out from under the charges, but it would have looked shady, and would have hurt his wife's political career.

He received special treatment because his wife is Speaker.

.08 is an incredibly unrealistic standard.
Coward-ass politicians lowered it from .10 to score points with dumbass prissy assholes like the MADD bitches.
If you can't have a couple of glasses of wine with your dinner, you're not living in a civilized country.

“The long-awaited video shows Pelosi's alleged slurred speech and what police previously described as "objective" signs of intoxication, as well as police asking him to perform field sobriety tests.
As Fox News Digital has reported, Pelosi's 2021 Porsche and the other driver's 2014 Jeep sustained "major collision damage" in a crash around 10:17 p.m. on May 28, and responding officers found Pelosi in the driver’s seat in his damaged car near the intersection of California Route 29 and Oakville Cross Road.”

It is very standard treatment. Maybe a little worse than average, but not much.
Sure, Dr. Walt.

In the UK, a driver can flee the scene and go home. However the police can calculate the amount of alcohol at the time of the accident and act accordingly.
Well, Doctor Walter, the odds of killing another driver go up considerably when drinking.
Three alcoholic drinks will bring a person's blood alcohol level to approximately 0.05%, which can impair the ability to rapidly focus vision, lower alertness and decrease coordination — to the point that steering becomes difficult and response to driving emergencies becomes blunted
They can flee the scene here, too, Prima but it is a crime.
