What Is Involved in a DUI Case?

When you are charged with DUI, it will be up to the prosecution to prove that you were driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The state must prove that you were driving and that you were impaired to convict you of a DUI. In order to prove you were driving, the state will have to present evidence that you were behind the wheel of the vehicle at the time of the arrest. If you were in the passenger seat, you cannot be convicted of a DUI.

The state will also have to prove that you were impaired in order to convict you. This can be done through field sobriety tests, chemical tests, or witness testimony. The prosecution will use any evidence they can to demonstrate that you were impaired.

What Are the Penalties for a DUI in Massachusetts?

The penalties for a DUI will increase depending on whether you have prior convictions. If you are convicted of a third DUI, you can face up to 20 years in jail and a lifetime license suspension. If you are convicted of a fourth DUI, you can face up to 20 years in jail and a permanent license revocation. You will also have to pay increased fines with each subsequent conviction.

What Are the Penalties for a Super Drunk Offense in Massachusetts?

If you are charged with a super drunk offense, you can face even harsher penalties. A super drunk offense is charged when you have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .20 or greater.
