I don’t know buy medicine online if I’ll have one by Friday, which is when I first go to court since my DUI.
What should I plead? Guilty, not guilty, or no contest?
This isn’t a felony. It’s the first DUI.
Plead not guilty so you can buy some time. You usually will get another date to come in and then you can change your plea then. If you plead guilty or no contest they may make you do the whole thing that day.
The answer you seek, is at the bottom of a liquor bottle. Go with God my friend.
Trust me, if you blew over at the site where they pulled you over, its a 10 minute case, I would just plead guilty, and maybe get a lesser charge for the DUI, they are starting to get really tough on it now adays…..
if you’re over 18, get a lawyer…if not, plead not guilty (the judge will not listen to you, but will watch the police tape and take the police persons word for everything…) it depends on where you live and what judge you get, what the charges are gonna be…
You SHOULD have a lawyer. If you can’t pay for one, go and ask for a public defender. Contrary to popular belief. They are not bad lawyers. You need a lawyer because the District attorney may going to request to have you held without bail. If you have a lawyer, when you plead guilty, you may be able to negotiate a deal with the District Attorney to avoid jail time.
If you go to your arraignment without representation for a possible felony, then your stupid ass belongs in jail.
If you think the case is borderline plead not guilty and get a lawyer. If the evidence is piled against you it is better to plead guilty and ask for consideration of mitigating circumstance of whatever sad story you may have. Having a lawyer and being found guilty only increases your expense.
Without an attornmey, you run the risk of really getting f@@@@d!
