A second conviction is a misdemeanor, and the sentence may range anywhere from 96 hours to 1 year in the county jail.
The judge may use alternative sentencing at their discretion.
2 days
Jail time is not always mandatory for contempt of court. If a person has to go to jail will depend upon what the judge says about their contempt of court.
If you mean can they apply the time you've already served in jail awaiting trial and reduce your adjudicated prison time by that amount . . . yes, they do in the case of an offense that does not call for a mandatory sentence. If the offense has a legislatively mandatory sentence attached to it, the judge does not have any discretion to do that. I thought by law they have to give all days that were served
Jail for life
Technically speaking, a person convicted of a crime for which a mandatory minimum sentence is handed down will serve that minimum sentence or higher, depending on several factors. But oftentimes a Defendant will plea guilty to a lesser offense where he may get less than the mandatory minimum, if any, jail time. Beleive it or not, plea offers are presented by the Government, and can often be negotiated by the defense. It is up to the Defendant whether to accept the offer.
CA DUI stands for driving under the influence in the state of California. California has some strict penalties for DUI, including heavy fines and mandatory jail time.
If someone is on house arrest for DUI and they fail the breathalizer and they go to jail...Does anyone know if they will be in jail the rest of their sentence ? Do they get a second chance ?
Most of the time.
Yes. If one's blood alcohol level is between 0.15 and 0.20, there is a mandatory 5-day jail sentence. If the level is above 0.20, there is a mandatory 10-day jail sentence. And some other penalties as well. Its better to hire a expert in such a case. I'll prefer hiring it from 1800 DUI Laws. The best in the business for sure.
Jail time in California on DUI's can vary. There is no set time limit for a jail sentance. However, after your 5th DUI it is an automatic prison sentance.
10 years is the minimum sentence in Mexico.
