THE COMPLEXITIES ASSOCIATED WITH DUI DEATH/GBI CHARGES

This story demonstrates the complexities involved with defending a person charged with such a crime. The reality is, DUI is dangerous, and accidents of this nature have been known to occur when a driver consumes alcohol and then drives; but as I have repeatedly written, there are no winners in cases like these – everyone loses. The victims and their families have lost loved ones and the defendant and his/her families also lose as the defendant faces considerable jail time among other punishments.
