Ms. Lightner left MADD and is concerned that the organization that she herself created is changing its focus. "It has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I ever wanted or envisioned," she says. "I didn't start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving." Lightner emphasized the importance of distinguishing between drinking alcohol on one hand and drunk driving on the other.

Did candy lightner the founder of madd get sentenced to prison for DUI?

No Candy has not ever received ANY citation for DUI! While she is not a favorite person of mine, I do have great respect for her. I was friends with her survivng twin daughter for many years. There was always "breaking news" regarding both Candy and Serena. Once I was sleeping over and we were awoken to news that Serena had been killed by a drunk driver. She was sitting right beside me, alive and well. I will never understand why people have to throw stones at good people. With so many horrific things, true things going on, I have to wonder who is either that bored or that sad that they are fabricating stories.
