“Her DUI manslaughter charge will be amended to a DUI, the sheriff’s office said.”

I’m sure that I’m not the first person to ask, how can she be charged with DUI if she was not driving? Isn’t a DUI charge a “Driving Under the Influence” charge. She was a victim. It matters not that she was under the influence of alcohol, because she was in the passenger’s seat. Are not people told to have a “designated driver”? If the driver convinced her he was competent enough to drive (men will do that—I live with one), she should not be guilty of his actions.
(Full disclaimer: Hubby lost the taste for alcohol about 25 years ago and just stopped drinking. He made no conscious decision to do so, but suddenly decided he preferred tea or water. Prior to that, he could drink the best of us under the table).
I would think a competent attorney can get all charges against her dropped.
Government pigs never miss a chance to draw someone into the dui system. Cops profit, courts profit, lawyers profit, madd profits. Pigs at a trough and they want to make sure it is always full.
While still inebriated she had to take her car home after he got out at his home and got busted.
I bet she had passed out on the way in her passenger seat as he drove himself home and she didn’t know how her car got messed up when she got home. And he was letting her take the blame for the victim’s death.
Tell your hubby he’s not alone, I did the same thing about the same amount of time ago and have never looked back.
