DUI Charges - Laws? Experiance?

@Aden Said

Okay. I get where you're coming from. I'm not mad about getting an answer.
However, I really hate when people assume or make judgements about what I am doing, when they have no idea. You called bulls*** allgeations on me, and I can't stand that. That's what I'm upset about.
I've probably been through more s*** then you can imagine. I've seen dead bodies. f***ing rights it isn't pretty. and I'm not condoning this in any sense. But don't assume you know how I'm feeling or what I'm doing when you don't or compare me to those people you see up there again and again. We aren't talking about any of them.

You never once expressed that she was innocent and you think or have proof that her blood sample was contaminated or offer up any proof or evidence of her innocence. You actually indicated her guilty and your knowledge of her guilt with your comment of

"I'm not the type of person to disregard someone because they f***ed up. "

This is indicating she f***ed up by driving drunk and you know she did in fact do this so she is not innocent by even your own words. So this thread is not about anyone innocent of what they are being charged with and speaking to a lawyer about proving innocence, its about finding loopholes and excuses to try to get her to beat these charges or have them lessened.

So if you know she is guilty of this offense and even stated she f***ed up and are not talking about her innocence and being wrongly accused, what other conclusion can I draw, with my experience in these situations, from your comments about wanting to know if a blood sample is admissible if she was unconscious when they took it or if her being on a medication and having memory loss can help her defense. That is quite clearly knowing someone is guilty and seeking to assist them in beating the system with loop holes.

Its coming across as she did it but please help me find a way to get her off or lower sentence and I found all these reasons as to how she might be able to do it.

I know she is your friend but she drove drunk and could have killed someone, some little kid crossing the street. Instead of looking for ways for her to beat this, get her help. Talk to her. Make her go to rehab, programs for drunk drivers, have her go to a morgue and see the result of her actions that she will cause one day if she keeps doing this. Make her go to MADD meetings and talk to moms who lost their innocent babies. This is the best help you can give her.
Most drunk drivers are repeat offenders and do not stop. Do you want to help her beat this or try to prevent her from killing herself or even worse, some innocent kid crossing the street. Get her help.

Oops I meant to give you an agree kudo but gave you something else doh!

@Aden Said

They probably should. I don't imagine it will be long before the first offence is a year in prison.

@Aden Said

Don't they have to charge right away?

@Aden Said

Is the blood admissable?

@Aden Said

Let's say she wasn't coherent to give consent to pull blood, and no officers were present when it was pulled, is it still admissable?

@Aden Said

Is this a lost cause if someone were to fight it?

[I did not read all the other answers, so forgive me if I am repeating someone else's thoughts.]

No. Most crimes have a "statute of limitations". That is, the charges must be made prior to a certain period. With most crimes this period is 2 to 5 years... murder typically having no limitation.



If it was obtained in accordance with appropriate laws and evidence custody procedures.

Yes.




If you were at an emergency room, drawing blood is typically a standard procedure. The police later obtaining samples of this blood is a standard investigative procedure. The evidence is most likely admissible.



Your loss of memory and/or you not making any statements is irrelevant.

The person involved needs to get a lawyer.
