Los Angeles DUI Worst Case Scenerio
Any Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney will tell you that a drunk driving charge is bad enough, but when other factors come into play, it could make a bad situation a whole lot worse. While being charged with a Los Angeles DUI can lead to all sorts of penalties, being convicted of a felony DUI, or a DUI in addition to other charges, could lead to a serious, life altering set of consequences.
A man in Huntington Beach basically experienced the worst possible drunk driving incident possible that does not involve a fatality. A Canyon Lake man is scheduled for arraignment on suspicion of driving at more than double the legal blood-alcohol limit when he rear-ended an off-duty Los Angeles County deputy sheriff on the 91 freeway at about 100 mph. This individual is being charged with three misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence of alcohol causing bodily injury, driving with a blood-alcohol level more than .08 causing bodily injury, and hit-and-run with injuries. Any Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney who read this case would immediately realize this gentleman is in for a world of trouble, as the witness against him will be an officer of the law.
To make matters worse, he had a blood alcohol level of .19, and there is an enhanced sentencing requirement when the defendant's blood alcohol level is above .15. The legal limit is .08. He also has a previous DUI conviction on his record, which will most likely me a major issue in court. Only a highly skilled, highly experienced Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney will have any influence in a case like this because there are so many added factors.
