Have a question?

it's not the State it's the Judge deciding on the penalty. First-time DUI, no injuries or property damage, our best guess would be probation and maybe some sort of education about drinking and driving.

How long can you be held in county jail ?are you sent to state after your convicted
You can be held up to two years in most county jails, but once the offender has been convicted, they serve the bulk of their sentence in state. The time spent in county is deducted from the total sentence.

A friend of mines release day is in March but they push his court day back to April, Will that affected his release of coming home or not ?
