whats the average sentence for second DUI offense in  Michigan?
84482
probably no jail time, but probation with breathalyzers every single morning at 6 am and work program every Saturday. Stay out of trouble and don't drink or do drugs on probation (shouldn't do drugs anyway, but especially not on probation lol)or it can last for years.

Fighting a DUI in any state is tough. Chat with other people who have been on trial for DUI. There are several factors that make a person guilty or not guilty. Assuming you are the driver and you have had at least one drink with alcohol before driving and you have not been found guilty of DUI in the past. Questions you need answered:  (1) was your blood alcohol content .08 or above. You can, on your own, obtain your BAC results from the agency that charged you. This has a time limit. (2) Are you 21 years of age. If under 21 NO alcohol is allowed BAC of 0.00 is legal. (3) Why were you stopped? There has to be a reason why the officer stopped you. Did you break at least one out of about 1200+ traffic laws in the State of Ca? I feel these are three questions you must have answered before freaking out \n\nDrinking alcohol------------------> Driving------------------> Breaking a traffic law------------------------>getting stopped by police----------------->failing one field sobriety test------------------->arrest-------------->BAC test (breath or blood) evidence--------------->citation issued-------------------->released from arrest---------------> call a lawyer or not…can’t sleep at night….freaking out.\n\nIf you have been charged with DUI and have not gone to trial, do about 3 hours research before hiring a lawyer. Check out case law and case ruling on recent DUI trials in CA. Get stats on sentences for first time offenders. You should see a trend in fines, probation, time served….. In many states there is a max. sentence for a class one misdemeanor (ex. Max 1 year jail, 3 years probation, $2500 fine). This is told to you by the judge at your first court appearance. People freak when they hear this. This is where case law and rulings come in. Usually if found guilty you will (pay a fine, spend one night in jail, have to go to AA meetings, be put on 1 year unsupervised probation, loose driving privileges for 3 months) This is common.   \n\n If the only factor is DUI not involving a prior criminal history, accident, injury, death, damage, extreme DUI, a felony (drugs, weapons….). Get your BAC results. Find out why you were stopped. Get a copy of the Police DUI report. Look over the officer’s narrative (find out how you did on the Field Sobriety Tests). Don’t think you are the first person this has happened to. If the odds are not in you favor (if your at this point there probably not) go into court, plead guilty, take your lumps OR spend $6000 on a lawyer, listen to him tell the judge what a nice person you are, listen to him ask the officer questions he already knows the answer to (impressing you, getting more of your money, looking smart). Get a hug and a “I’m sorry” when found guilty. Get the same sentence you would have gotten if you would have pled guilty. \n\nThe way to beat a DUI is learn from your mistake. You committed a crime. Thank goodness you were stopped before someone was killed. Thank goodness this can be put behind you. Thank goodness you don’t have to live with this the rest of you life. Thank goodness you are worried and want to know how to fight a DUI, it shows that you know you did something wrong. I’m happy you’re a fighter. Keep your head up and come out a winner in this fight. \n\nI’m writing this because when an accident involving the death of an innocent person and a driver who is DUI my heart falls out of me. Lives are ruined on both ends. Lives of good people on both ends are torn apart. What a shame when a night of celebration turns into 20 years behind bars and people taking their last breath.. Think what a lucky person you are. I have seen too many who were unlucky.   \n\nYour Honor, I made a mistake. I haven’t made this same mistake since. I know I used bad judgment. I know this could have turned out to be a lot worse than it did. I’m just happy that I was stopped before more damage was done. I know that I will be punished for my bad judgment

This depends on the state you are in and the judge that you get. There is a range of sentences, and it varies by state.

63-3-7 has nothing to do with alcohol... it permits the DMV to print "Rules of the Road" booklets.\n\nAs for the possession of alcohol, 67-1-9 says that the first offense is punihsable by $100-$500 and 1 week to 3 months in jail. The second offense is punihsable by $100-$5,000 and 60 days to 6 months. The third offense is punihsable by $100-$5,000 and 1-5 years.

It depends on if he was convicted before.  First offense is usually 30 days in jail, a hefty fine and suspension of the driver's license.  Community service might be required as well.  \n\nOther effects can include an instant jump in insurance rates, loss of commercial driver licenses, and manditory drug/alcohol abuse counciling.

Basic answer: I'm fairly sure it's what is known as a 16-2-3 felony...meaning you can get 16 months, 2 years or 3 years in prison.\n\nDon't freak out.  Post some more information and I can probably narrow that down for you.  Sometimes we charge 11350 and we're wrong.  Here's what I would want to know to give you a better idea:\n\nWhat was the drug?\n\nHow much of it was there?\n\nDoes the arrestee have prior convictions for anything?\n\nIs the arrested person on probation or parole?\n\nAnd above all else, it ain't over until the fat lady sings, and nobody gets punished for anything if they're not guilty.  \n\nPost some more details and I'll keep an eye on this question so I can come back and edit my answer.\n\nDon't tell me anything the police don't already know (in other words, don't tell me your boyfriend got arrested for a quarter gram of cocaine but the cops missed the four kilos at the house).\n\n2/9/06: Well, depending on the county he's on probation in, prison is certainly a possibility.  Failing to appear and having a dirty test are bad enough, but to have more cocaine (and based on the 11350 charge you're asking about, I'm assuming it was coke...meth would be 11377) on him when he was arrested is certainly not good.  He may well have probation revoked and reinstated (basically a "do-over") and might end up with a lengthy stay in jail as a sanction.  I have to tell you, though...depending on the county you guys are in, prison is not out of the question.  Some counties are lenient and others are not.  Prop 36 (not 39) court is a good thing, but you have to behave if you want to stay in it.  \n\nWas he charged with a new possession offense when he was arrested, or are they handling the dope he had on him when he was arrested as just a violation of probation?  I would imagine they'll handle it as a violation of probation, rather than opening a whole new case...and a VOP can sometimes carry a stiffer penalty than a new case.  A lot of this will also depend on what the terms of his probation were when he was put into Prop 36 court.  If he received a suspended sentence (meaning that the judge told him he will send him to prison if he screws up *again*, but will let him do Prop 36 instead), he may very well go to prison on this new violation.  \n\nThere's a lot of variables and once your boyfriend has had a chance to talk with his attorney, he'll have a pretty good idea of where his case is heading.\n\nIf you are really as unfamiliar with drugs as you've said, I've got to suggest that maybe this guy is not for you.  It would appear that he's a little *too* familiar with drugs...and although that wasn't your question, that is my answer.\n\nBest of luck to both of you.

I was jailed for 10 months for assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice. I lied to the police about the whereabouts of my then boyfriend who was wanted by the police. My boyfriend had stabbed somebody that beat up his sister badly and i covered up for him. I thought my sentence was pretty harsh and still do as hit and run drivers get a fine and 3 points even if the victim dies.I wasn't a danger to or harmed anyone.

You would have to read the DUI statute for your state. Most statutes specify that in order for the stiffer penalties to be assessed, the suspect has to be convicted of DUI, not just arrested for it. \n\nOn a side note: What the hell are you doing with someone like that. He obviously didn't learn the first time and now wants to get pulled through the wind wing for refusing to get out of the car. Get a better BF and have a better life.

Possession of less than one gram is a "\nstate jail felony," the lowest level of felony. This is punishable by 180 days to 2 years in prison and up to $10,000. It is a third degree felony if you have ever been convicted of a felony before, meaning that your punishment would be 2 to 10 years and a fine up to $10,000.
426130
2nd degree felonies carry 2-20 years plus up to $10,000 fine. As about the time in county jail...if he can sit there for a while awaiting trial, after sentencing it depends on TDCJ as to when he gets assigned to go. Most county jails have working agreement with TDCJ as TDCJ is almost full. Meaning they can serve some of the time in county. typical sentence for this could be between 10 probation or 5 years TDCJ, depending on court

theres a statute of limitations on all crimes. Also, theres a thing call double jeopardy (no, not the gameshow) where you can't be charged twice for the same crime.

On October 2, 1978, Allen was arrested with an accomplice at an airport in Kalamazoo, Michigan while possessing 1.4 pounds of cocaine. Because of the huge quantity, he was facing life in prison. Instead, Allen agreed to testify against his partner in exchange for a sentence of three to seven years in prison; He ultimately ended up serving two years and four months.[1]\n\nOn May 24, 1997, Allen was arrested for DUI in Bloomfield Township, Oakland County, Michigan. He pleaded guilty on June 16 and was fined, sentenced to a year of probation, and ordered to seek counseling. Also, alcohol\n\nThat coke man

The problem is that you committed a second offense, and you were on probation.\n\nIt all depends on the judge, and how forcefully your lawyer (if you have one) can argue and convince the judge that the forgeries were related to your meth addiction, but that now you are clean. \n\nAnother minor problem is that you did not admit your meth addiction for your first offense. The prosecutor could argue that you are using the meth addiction as an excuse for your second crime.\n\nIt is a tough one. My guess is that you could get a suspended sentence, meaning that if you break the law again during the probation, you will go to prison for the term that was suspended. \n\nBecause you have a job and you are clean, the judge might order you to go to jail on weekends. This seems like the most likely scenario, particularly if you do not have a long criminal record, and if you do not have a violent past.\n\nIf you do not have an attorney, request that an attorney be assigned to you at your sentencing hearing.
