Legal Question in DUI Law in California

Honestly, it's most likely because of the same concern that has my attention: your injuries. Obviously you care very much about your friend, but it's not realistic to say your injuries were not serious at the same time that you say you were hospitalized for five days. If there is ANY injury, the prosecutor will seek jail time. Your friend is lucky that he's not facing prison for a felony. You really should think a bit more about yourself. You have rights too. For more information, call me: 877-LION-FOR-LAW

Help you understand?? He caused an accident and injuries, while driving drunk. There is a penalty for that, it's called jail, to make a point to him, and others like him, about breaking the law and hurting people. If he wasn't a friend and had injured you or your family, would you be so cavalier about sympathy?? You should be requiring him to pay your damages and losses. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.

The jail time they want is probably because of the injury. There is a lot of discretion in the DA's hands as to the time they can ask. Your friend needs to work very closely with his attorney if he wants to minimize his potential jail time - good luck
