LEGAL TIPS

Alabama DUI Law :
Unfortunately, a quirk in Alabama law - apparently unintended - now means that some drunk drivers serving time in prison on felony convictions could have those convictions reduced to misdemeanors and be released on time served.

DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
DUI Offense :
What we're finding is that most accident are being caused by people who are not just .08 but double that amount, said Donna Hawkins, directors of the West Virginia chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

What is a DUI? :
The various versions of driving under the influence generally constitute a misdemeanor (punishable by up to one year in jail) . However, the offense may be elevated to a felony (punishable by a longer term in state prison) if the incident caused serious injury (felony DUI), death (vehicular manslaughter or vehicular homicide), or extensive property damage (a state specified dollar amount) or if the defendant has a designated number of prior DUI convictions within a given time period (commonly, 3 prior convictions within 7 years). California, which is being followed by a growing number of states, now charges second-degree murder where the legal state of mind of malice exists -- that is, where the defendant exhibited a reckless indifference to the lives of others.
