she was sentenced to 1 to 2 for 3rd dui highest level no other charges. Her original sentence had no mention of house arrest only elgiible to the dayreporting center after 5 months. She was released after serving 5 months in jail, to house arrest for the remainder of her minimum and must report to the new dayreporting center in Ebensburg everyday. others only have to do house arrest or day reporting? How and why? it does not seem fair. shouldnt she be doing one or the other not both? Shouldnt she only be doing 1 month house arrest not 7? cause 1 month would make it half her minimum.

General ARD conditions include supervision by the probation department for 6 to 12 months, payment of approximately $2,...
Is it even worth fighting a first offense DUI case? Since they now offer ARD? I work at a local courthouse and it seems to me that the chances of getting a fair judge to rule on a DUI is almost impossible. Most of the people here refer to a DUI by court as "a extended guilty plea". Also since a first offense DUI offender cant get a trial by jury.
Is it worth it? Good question. In my opinion to many attorneys automatically direct their clients automatically to ARD...
