Manning Crime

I was on probation for a reckless driving charge in GA (knocked down from DUI). Yesterday I received a DUI arrest in SC (I live in SC). What will most likely happen as a result?

If GA discovers the new arrest your probation will be violated. Typically, you are supposed to self report any law...

I just got a DUI in and am nervous that the prosecutors will find my first DUI six years ago in another state under my maiden name. How likely is it will they find it and will it definitely be charged as my second offense?

It is pretty likely that the authorities will find it and charge you with DUI 2nd.

I have a DUI case pending since May/2010 and just saw the news from Judge Bogan. Would his ruling be effective in my case?

That depends. Did the analyst who instructed you on what to do tell you to blow hard? That argument worked at least...

I was charged with DUI 2nd and DUS 2nd. After review of my driving record, the solicitor has indicted me on Habitual Offender and is now asking me to plea to DUI 4th and DUS 4th...... Even though I was not in the car, hadnt been near the car for hours before my arrest. I would be willing to plea just to resolve the matter, but her recommendation is 1 year incarceration, 3 years probation with 6 months of it intensive. I have never been convicted of a DUI 2 or 3rd offense btw. I am a single mother of a child whos father died a couple years ago and I have no family as I was a foster child. I have a job and am President of my PTA.I am scared to death and dont know what to do. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. I have a PD, but he has never and refuses to return my phone calls

Hire a DUI defense attorney. Why would you plea to DUI 4th? That makes no sense. Your case has issues that need to be...

The Datamaster breathalyzer was in use on a DUI suspect and in the middle of the testing it just locked up for no apparent reason. Operator restarted, did the test, got the BAC reading but violated SLED procedures by not reporting the malfunction to SLED. No repairs or inspections are documented in the SLED database in regards to this malfunction nor were there any status code messages..

This should all be on video. Have your attorney review the Datamaster room video and file a motion to suppress.

my breath test came out to be 0.03

If no one was hurt or killed as a result of your driving, then No. After you give a breath sample, then the officer...

I was arrested for a DUI charge 2 years ago. It has been dropped to reckless and the expungment process for the arrest is underway. I am graduating nursing school this month and will be applying for the state boards so I can become registered. I live in South Carolina and will probably apply here but am moving to Virginia so I can apply in either state. Have you ever been arrested, charged or convicted, pled guilty or pled nolo contendere for violation of any federal, state, or local law (other than a minor traffic violation)?

I would be certain of the expungement procedures in your state. In Illinois, a DUI and reckless driving are never...
