Loosing a loved one is never easy, to have them taken by someone's careless disregard for other people can be devastating. The prosecutor assigned to the case should have explained to you the reason the charge was filed as a misdemeanor. If you are unhappy with the way the case was handled, that prosecutor likely has a supervisor that you could speak to, but it is ultimately at the prosecutor's discretion. May I also suggest that you seek assistance through a crime victim's advocacy group in your area. They can help you find the help you need to deal with the prosecutors. Thanks for using our Web site.

I was convicted by a jury for driving under the influence as well as CA code HS11550 being under the influence of a controlled substance . There really is no guideline because there is no LEGAL limit set for drugs for Driving like for Alcohol the LEGAL LIMIT is set at .08. The San Diego Crime Lab - can detect drugs in the blood at even the lowest of lowest levels. Anyhow most people convicted of DUI - don't end up going to trial anyways. But my Dad read somewhere it's always a good idea to fight a DUI especially the first and for me the last. carrie_6648@yahoo.com

California uses its Vehicle Code § 23152 for its DUI statute. Subpart (a) of the code states: <em>"It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle. . . . "</em> Unlike with alcohol, which statute says has a per se guilt if the driver has a specific percentage of alcohol in their blood stream, there is no measure for the level of drug use that constitutes impairment. The prosecution must establish that the driver was exhibiting impaired behavior prior to the traffic stop and must prove that they were under the influence of drugs.
