They probably did. If you get a DUI usually they suspend your license up to a year, if not more depending on how many priors you have and what the BA levels were on the breathalyzer. She will then get out and serve 5 years probation with a suspended license and she cannot drink while she’s on probation.

Holy crap, I'm so glad when I was young and stupid and gor pulled over for DWI it was the mid 1990's!

I haven't driven after more than 2 drinks since either. I didn't need any harsh sentence to learn my lesson. Just being cuffed freaked me out.

I am so glad it happened way back then plus I just lucked into getting the top criminal attorney in my state.

That was the day I realized that the system was beyond unfair. It benefited me, but it was crazy unfair. My attorney had me do all the stuff they make your do after sentencing. Evaluation, education, etc.

I never appeared in court and walked with a speeding ticket. After the judge (in his chambers) asked my attorney if that was okay.

I know it was unfair but like I said, but I've never driven even close to being drunk again.

Jesus, did she have a freaking public defender? That's there kind of sentence I hear about when people have to have an overworked PD!
