Second Offense DUI - No Jail
Posted By
Emkey Law Firm
Client was charged with a second offense DUI. He was facing a Mandatory
Minimum of 90 days to 5 years in prison. Due to circumstances out of his
control, he was not able to participate in the second time offenders program
(STOP). After entering into an "open" guilty plea, Attorney
Emkey argued to the Judge that his client should receive credit for the
time he was at an in-patient treatment facility. The Judge not only agreed
with the argument, but allowed the client to serve the rest of his mandatory
jail sentence on electronic monitoring (house arrest) at the request of
the Attorney.
