A friend was convicted of DUI in Ct. at trial almost a year ago. He lives in another state far away. The Judge fixed the maximum fine for first offense, no jail, probation and an evaluation; no community service.
Afterwards, the prosecutor said community service of 100 hrs. was required by statute
for an offense in Jan. 1999 and so added the 100 hrs. of community service to the sentence.
My friend had an out-of-state license and lives thousands of miles away.
Was it correct for his attorney to allow the prosecutor to add the community service to the sentence of an out-of-state resident? Thank you.
