State v. C.L.

Plea to a single count of gross misdemeanor DWI. What makes this outcome so great is the sentence received. The client was dead to rights and had no legal defense. He had two prior DWI's within ten years and a high reading of .21 - this is often referred to as a Super-2 DWI. For a third-offense, the statutory mandate is for 30 days to be served in custody with 60 days on house arrest. Here, the client was sentenced to only 30 days on house arrest and placed on unsupervised probation for just two years. Needless to say, a fantastic outcome considering what should have been coming his way.
