I have maybe three questions. I would appreciate it if you can answer both in full. One, if there is a situation where someone is being charged with murder, there is evidence to show (s)he is guilty. Is there a need for a preliminary hearing? If so what exactly is a preliminary hearing in Tennessee? If there is evidence that shows that they are guilty, could they possibly be sentenced at the preliminary at the descretion of the judge?

I was charged with a DUI first offense. I had drank a few beer before I left to head back to my house, but decided to wait a couple hours to sober up just in case. Once I left I began to feel kinda dizzy and ended up running off the road and hitting a building. The reason I ran off the road was because of my seizure medicines and I had accidentaly taken too many, forgetting that I had already taken them earlier. The cops gave me a field sobriety test, which I failed, because I could barely stand and was near having a seizure at the time. They gave me a blood alcohol test and eventually took me to jail, where I later had a seizure and had to be rushed to the hospital. The hospital confirmed that the reason I had wrecked was from the seizure medicine. Any chance of getting out of this?

I was stopped and given a ticket for DUI and underage drinking. I only had one beer and it was 5 hours before. A friend I was with had been drinking and was not able to drive. I was trying to help. I asked for a breath test and they wouldn't give it. I finally talked them into taking my blood. It should come back ok. When it does will charges be dropped for DUI and what punishment will I get for the underage drinking. I live in TN
You should contact a DUI attorney in your area. But 1 beer over 5 hours ago...good chance that your results will come...
