About DUI Plea Bargains

Penalties for operating a vehicle while under the influence can be severe. These penalties can include huge fines, the suspension of one's license and time in prison. One way to lessen the harshness of the penalties associated with a DUI conviction is to enter into a plea bargain. In a DUI case, a plea bargain is an agreement made with a prosecutor in which the defendant will plead guilty or no contest, or in some cases, enters a guilty plea to a lesser offense in exchange for a lighter sentence.

By making a plea bargain, the defendant forfeits his or her right to a trial by jury and the chance of being exonerated of all charges. In some cases, a DUI defendant can plead down their charges from a DUI to a non-alcohol conviction such as a charge of reckless driving. Entering into a DUI plea bargain may be an attractive option if you do not want to face the possibility of receiving the harsh penalties associated with DUI cases.
