Help I have a friend (really not me ) and she had a car accident a few months back. Well she had to leave the site of the accident as she had her 7yr old son wiht her and it was raining. When she got to my huse she had a few beers then when she got back to the accident the poliece charged her with driving while drunk. Then she got a public defender who first didnt show up for the first court date,the judge oowns a buisness that operates on the state park that she had just gotten fired from. When she dwent to curt he tried to sentence her to 52 weeks of AA and when he told her that she had a drinking problem(which I believe she doesn't) she shook her head no and he got pissed and told her that he doesn't accept the plea bargin that the DA assigned for her (this was after he already gave her the fines and everything), he also told her that his ex-wife was a drunk! And told her that he wants a drug evaluation before he will hear the case now! She is now set to go to drug evaluation and everything is messed up so I was wondering if any of this is even legal? does she have grounds for change of venue or something???? Help she NEEDS IT!

Yes; everything the judge and prosecutor have done is legal.

No; everything your friend did is either illegal or stupid.

What a great friend you are to make sure she had some beers before driving in the rain back to the accident scene to talk with the police. What a moron your friend is for leaving the scene of the accident before talking to the police.

You two deserve each other.
