[Changwon Criminal Attorney Assistance] A Non-Referral Decision Despite Three Prior DUIs, With the Help of a Changwon Criminal Attorney

On the day of the incident, the client who requested assistance from a Changwon criminal attorney attended a drinking gathering with acquaintances.

After drinking one glass of beer at the first venue, the client called a substitute driver and then moved to a second venue.

An hour later, the client moved to a private residence, the third venue, and in this process the client drove under the influence.

While continuing the third gathering at that residence, the client was caught driving under the influence by the police, who arrived after receiving someone's report.

Because the client had a record of being punished for a total of three prior offenses of the same kind, the client was placed at risk of an actual sentence.

Accordingly, in order to reduce the punishment for the DUI charge, the client came to a Changwon criminal attorney at Daeryun Law Firm and requested assistance.

• When a Single Instance of Drunk Driving Is Detected

In the Case of a Repeat Offense Within 10 Years

If a drunk driver who has been sentenced to a fine or a heavier penalty commits drunk driving again within 10 years from the date the sentence became final (including a person whose sentence has lapsed), the offender is punished according to the following classifications:

※ When considerable time has passed after the drunk driving so that the alcohol concentration at the time cannot be measured, the blood alcohol concentration at the time of driving is calculated using the Widmark formula.

In the suspect's case, the blood alcohol level was not measured immediately after the drunk driving, but rather after he had consumed additional alcohol.

For this reason, the attorney argued that the blood alcohol level at the time of driving had to be estimated using the Widmark formula in order to prove the drunk driving charge.

According to the Widmark formula, the suspect's blood alcohol concentration immediately after driving was estimated at 0.021% to 0.03%, and the attorney argued that it did not substantially exceed the enforcement threshold of 0.03%.

For the reasons stated above, the attorney requested a non-referral decision, since the evidence supporting the suspect's drunk driving charge was found to be insufficient.

In the case above, a client with three prior drunk driving convictions received assistance from the Changwon criminal defense attorney and successfully avoided punishment through a non-referral decision.

The Changwon criminal defense attorney's emphasis that the blood alcohol level at the time of driving, once estimated, did not exceed the enforcement threshold played a significant role in the non-referral decision.

As this shows, even a person with prior convictions may reduce or avoid punishment with the assistance of an experienced attorney.
