Legal Question in DUI Law in California

Even if he wasn't on parole, he could be facing a MINIMUM of six months in State Prison. With him being on parole, and depending on the circumstances, blood alcohol, etc., it is likely that he will be facing additional time.

Your husband faces from 6 months to 3 years in custody. This does not include any Parole violation, which can be up to 1 year additional time. There is also the revocation of his driving priveledge, assuming he had an active drivers licence at the time. I wish you the best...Dave Wallin

A fourth DUI within 10 years is a felony. The date of the most recent before this one isn't the important thing - it's whether he got this one within 10 years of the first.

If he's outside that 10 year period, the worst this can be (assuming no accident and also assuming none of the others were felonies) is a misdemeanor with up to a year in jail.

If it's a felony, he's looking at 16 months, 2 years or 3 years in prison. They can add an additional year for a new felony within 5 years of his release from prison on his other felony. Assuming the only basis for a parole violation is this new case, it won't add any additional time.
