Charges: 4th Degree DWI – Misdemeanor
Resolution:
Plea to a 4th Degree. Sentence included no jail, no community service, a minimal fine, and probation to the Court. What makes this outcome remarkable is that the incident involved terrible driving conduct that led to an accident. With absolutely no available defense, the team at North Star still negotiated an outcome that is better than usual, notwithstanding the accident – which is often motivation for a prosecutor to seek more penal sentencing terms.
