It was the cop who instigated this and made the DUI charge to begin with. That tells you how far they will go to get you a criminal record. He then should have asked for a jury trial. Don’t take the chance of one idiot judge deciding your fate.
After my brother answered his first call where a family of four was killed by a drunk driver, his passion seemed to be to arrest as many DUI'ers as he could. He even risked his life using his car as to block a drunk once.
He then should have asked for a jury trial. Don’t take the chance of one idiot judge deciding your fate.
Exactly! I was on a trial something like this. A guy and his gal driving home from a pizza joint drunk. She started beating up on him while he was driving and he swerved and hit a tree in someone’s yard. By the time the trial (and our laughter) was over we let him go.
We decided that since she and he had gone back together he was getting his just punishment.
