A MAN RUNS OVER 2 PEOPLE.
HE WAS GIVEN A DUI.
IS IT MANDATORY JAIL TIME IF THE AMBULANCE WAS CALLED?
& ITS SERIOUS INJURIES?
ALL I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IS IF ITS MANDATORY THAT HE GOES TO PRISON AND IF SO, HOW LONG?
HE HAS DUI'S UNDER HIS BELT.

Every state is different, believe it or not. Often it is considered "involuntary manslaughter" if there is death..."reckless endangerment" if not...
it is not necessarily mandatory, but its tough to get away from...

There are no mandatory sentences anywhere in the country for DUI charges involving injury. Just because someone is charged with DUI does not mean they were convicted. Just because they were convicted and there were injuries doesn't mean they wil goto jail. It's the way the system is set up.

He has previous DUIs and is still pulling this and is now running over people?
I would love to hear that it's mandatory imprisonment and I hope it isn't determined by whether or not an ambulance was called. The kind of person who hasn't yet learned not to drive aftere drinking is probably sharp enough to learn not to ask help for his victims if it would be a personal problem for him.

While it's not mandatory, it's almost a certainty that he's going to prison, especially if there is a history of drinking and driving. I judge would not look favorable upon this person and likely would consider imposing the harsh end of the sentencing scale on this guy. Can't say what that is because I don't know where you like.

I can't comment on actual law, even if I knew where this occurred.
If the choice was up to me, repeat of fences of DUI would be felonies. That would make it felony murder. If the first DUI charge does not stop someone from driving while intoxicated, I vote for jail time even if them don't hit anyone.

And in case you do no longer tell them approximately it and that they locate out, you will no longer get a job and that they are going to tell everywhere else you be conscious which you lied to them. in case you're already pondering lieing to the police branch you're employing at, i think of this is time ot reassess your profession determination. in the event that they are in a position to't believe you to be user-friendly as somebody who's employing for a job. How can they believe you to tell the believe in case you harm a vehicle, come across a huge volume of money, ought to apply deadly tension ect? what's combating you for lieing in those circumstances? Be a guy and be user-friendly approximately your previous. in the event that they reject you, they reject you. a minimum of you have your honor. purely be conscious someplace else. we are approximately to hire a guy with a DWI on his checklist years in the past. it rather isn't any longer a huge deal if it rather is in basic terms a million and it occurred years in the past and additionally you have an otherwise sparkling checklist.

no, it is always up to the judge.
There should be other charges beyond the DUI, there are charges for hitting the people to.

kiss him goodbye- hire a good lawyer and you might reduce his time-or if you are in Texas all you have to do is know somebody who knows the judge.
