Is it possible to get an Arizona Aggravated DUI reduced to a misdemeanor?
My little sister just got her first DUI over the weekend in Phoenix Arizona. She doesn't know her BAC yet, since they didn't give her immediate results of the blood test, but she was assigned an Aggravated DUI since her license was suspended.
Her license was suspended because she had unpaid tickets and failed to show proof of insurance. I went with her to the courthouse today to pay the ticket and prove that she had insurance, so we got her license reinstated. My question is if they will drop the DUI down to one of the misdemeanor charges (regular, extreme, super extreme). She has no prior problems besides the suspension, and she had thought it was paid off (she gave the fine money to roommate --- already know how stupid that was).
We plan to get an attorney once she has her status hearing, but I wanted to know if there was anyone with experience out there who could say whether or not it's likely it'll be dropped to the lesser court, or if the felony conviction will stick.
Not much. She WAS guilty of driving without a license, and that aggravates the DUI. WHY her license was suspended is irrelevant, and even less so when the reason was the unpaid fines. She knew her license was suspended, but drove drunk anyway.
