Legal Question in DUI Law in New Jersey

Chun Decision

Upon discussion between my attorney and prosecutor, I was offered 7 months (DUI was over 1.0) to plead guilty. I did, but the pros. also allowed a ''stay if requested,'' per pending Chun decision. Does previous plea now stick unchanged or can I revisit the case? I don't understand how I can plead guilty AND get a stay.

Re: Chun Decision

The Supreme Court allowed Defendants to enter �conditional� guilty pleas to DWI pending the Chun litigation. The Court Ordered however, that sentences be stayed pending the decision. That means that if you have a right to re-open or vacate the plea if there are issues that might cast doubt on the integrity of the Alcotest readings.
