Date: December 25th, 2021 1:26 PM Author: crawly depressive hell I'm not a crimmo (I'm not even a lawyer), so I'm hardly an expert in this area. But my understanding is that it depends. In many cases that is true, but not always. I have a friend who just got a second DUI and her attorney advised her to take it to trial even though the odds are against her. He said that you can often get leniency if you take a plea before your first DUI. But for a second DUI, the sentence you'll get if you lose at trial will be about the same as any plea deal they would offer you, so you may as well take it to trial.

Date: December 25th, 2021 2:50 PM Author: topaz station Nobody is getting jail time on a 1st time DUI.
Your county Sheriff needs every single bed for the violent felons. He doesn't have time for some bullshit DUI taking up space for 30-60 days.
Even if you did get jail time (lol), the Sheriff would give you 2 for 1 or even 4 for 1 reduction just to get you the fuck out. |
|
Date: December 25th, 2021 4:06 PM Author: crawly depressive hell In my state, a second DUI gives a minimum of two weeks in jail. The DA is not allowed to offer a deal for less than that, and the judge is not allowed to lower the sentence. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4992614&forum_id=2#43674484) |
|
Date: December 27th, 2021 8:01 PM Author: topaz station Exactly, you will get sentenced to 14 days. However, once the Sheriff takes custody of you he is free to give you 2 or even 4 for 1 good time credit.
How else do you think the local jail keeps from being overcrowded with all of those "tough on crime Judges" on the bench? |
|
Date: December 27th, 2021 10:43 PM Author: crawly depressive hell I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that the state has a formula for good time credit and the local sheriff or warden is not allowed to deviate from the formula. And the formula only gives you 1-2 days per month, so it doesn't help with a 14-day sentence. I'm not an expert on DUI law, but everyone I have talked to has told me that for a second DUI in my state, the only way to avoid 14 days minimum in jail is to either go to inpatient rehab or wear an alcohol-detecting ankle monitor for six months or something like that.

|
Date: December 27th, 2021 11:08 PM Author: topaz station Please link to this statue that prohibits a Sheriff from dictating how long he must hold someone in their county jail.
You might be referring to a statute that calcuates how much good time credit the Department of Corrections can give someone.
However, typically the DOC controls the State prisons. DOC doesn't control the county jails, the Sheriff does. |
|
Date: December 28th, 2021 11:38 AM Author: crawly depressive hell What is your IQ and LSAT score? How the fuck can I prove a negative? If you are trying to tell me that a sheriff can overrule a judge and unilaterally reduce sentence, I want to see the statute that says a sheriff has that power. For the record, my state is North Carolina. Based on my reading of the Structured Sentencing Act, even judges have very little discretion about the length of sentences in most cases, and they can only be reduced based on the formula outlined in the statute, not at a sheriff's discretion. And the statute says that DUI's do not follow the general guidelines. In particular, a second DUI has a mandatory 14-day jail sentence that cannot be reduced by a prosecutor or a judge or anyone. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4992614&forum_id=2#43688710) |
|
Date: December 28th, 2021 12:06 PM Author: topaz station So in your angry screed you are acknowleding that you:
a) Don't practice DUI law; b) Barely practice any criminal law; & c) barely read the Structured Sentencing Act because it clearly said:
"The State’s structured sentencing laws went into effect on October 1, 1994, and apply to all misdemeanor offenses committed on or after that date (except for “driving while impaired,” “driving while impaired in a commercial vehicle,” and “failure to comply with control conditions by persons with communicable diseases”)
So you really have no idea what powers a county Sheriff has in regard to controlling their jail.

Date: December 27th, 2021 10:27 AM Author: dun high-end roommate stag film It depends on what the case facts are, and what kind of outcome you're looking for. Are there any facts/weird Minnesota laws and cases that are favorable to you getting out of it? This could be 4A search issues, the admissibility or credibility of the evidence, etc.
However, in my jx, the financial hit from a first-time misdemeanor DUI is probably just about $3500 if you go with the PD and work with them in doing pre-plea mitigation (community service and alcohol treatment). If you don't NEED a completely 100% spotless driving/criminal record, and are more interested in getting out of this with the minimum hassle to yourself, I would seriously weigh the costs/benefits of this route. |

Date: December 27th, 2021 4:42 PM Author: Multi-colored abode Push for some kind of pretrial diversion where you go to alcohol classes and install one of those BAC test machines in your car. In a couple of years they can amend the charge to reckless driving or whatever ‘wet and reckless’ statute exists around there. You won’t have to do the classes and have the breath test thing installed the whole time.
You do not have a strong defense based on fleeing the scene. This is not exotic and prosecutors are adept at overcoming stupid shit like this. Anyone talking about how this is an obvious trial is blowing smoke at you. At best you have a pseudo-corpus motion that can probably be defeated but the mere possibility for litigation will often cause the prosecutor to offer a very favorable deal. Find a lawyer who seems to understand this and will discuss alternatives to a straight guilty plea or trial. Any good PD should be familiar with all this.
Do some research on what I mentioned and kick some tires with local DUI specialists. Meet with the PD and discuss your options and realistic chances of a ‘third way’ deal. Don’t be a confrontational asshole about this either — if you are nice to your ‘indigent’ counsel and help them help you, you are likely to get better treatment and more attention than from retained counsel.
Remember, crim law bros are in business and just want to resolve your case as quickly as they can. LOL at believing that hiring a guy means he’s necessarily going to get a better result. Many of these people are TSINAH-style charlatans who do not know how to try cases or litigate pretrial, and they will say anything to sign you up. All they need to do to keep your money is take your calls, show up to hearings, and make one phone call to the State asking if they’ll dismiss (the answer is no!). If they do a shitty job and screw you, you basically have zero recourse. |

CA is different than most other states in many respects but DUI stands out. Most jurisdictions have multiple outlets to prevent first-time DUI straight convictions (although they can still frequently count the case as a prior for future charging purposes if a statue considers that). In most Oregon jurisdictions, if there are no aggravating circumstances, they will divert the case to an outright dismissal if the Defendant completes some generic requirements.
